Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself, at Firebrand Boy. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Firebrandboy", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because per WP:IMPERSONATE, this unverified account uses the artist name of Firebrand Boy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.

 * Hello, User:Salvidrim!, I'm new to Wikipedia. I am indeed Philip Cunningham, aka Firebrand Boy, and I wrote the Wikipedia article myself originally several years ago. As such, I believe the article should be deleted due to (A) autobiographical nature of the article; (B) unverified, original, research and (C) lack of notoriety. Can you assist? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Firebrandboy (talk • contribs) 13:54, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Firebrandboy, matches the name of a well-known, living person.

If you are the person represented by this username, please note that the practice of blocking such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated, not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. You may choose to edit under a new username (see information below), but keep in mind that you are welcome to continue to edit under this username. If you choose to do so, we ask the following:
 * Please be willing and able to prove your identity to Wikipedia.
 * Please send an email to info-en[[Image:At sign.svg|15px|@]]wikimedia.org. Be aware that the volunteer response team that handles email is indeed operated entirely by volunteers, and the reply may not be immediate.

If you are not the person represented by this username, you are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. The SandDoctor Talk 04:22, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Requested speedy deletion of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebrand_Boy but it was rejected. Have since requested a regular deletion.

Proposed deletion of Firebrand Boy


The article Firebrand Boy has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Original research. Subject not notable compared other chiptune artists such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nullsleep, Bit Shifter and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabrepulse. Page created as self-promotion and has remained low quality for over a decade."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
