User talk:Marcellrussell

July 2014
Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Marcell Russell. 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 my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Marcell Russell
Please do not link directly to websites, link to the article such as Baltimore Music Awards (leave off the nowikis). Thanks Jim1138 (talk) 20:21, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Please cite sources
People want to be able to verify information on Wikipedia. So, significant edits need have their content cited using reliable sources. See verifiablity. This means that information must be published, and presumably vetted, by reliable groups and individuals. What you should do is to locate a source that supports the edit you wish to make. Then add a citation to that. Peruse wp:welcome to learn about editing Wikipedia. You can also visit the Teahouse for information and assistance. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a note on my talk page. Welcome and Happy editing! Jim1138 (talk) 20:22, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Removal of speedy deletion template
Please do not remove a speedy deletion template from the page which you are the creator such as Marcell Russell. Repeated removal will likely get you wp:blocked. If you wish to edit this without "harassment", I would suggest you create the article using Articles for Creation. You can copy/paste your article there. Then, it shouldn't be commented on unless you do something like copyright violations. You can also copy it to User talk:Marcellrussell/sandbox for safe keeping. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 20:29, 27 July 2014 (UTC) Apologies for my blunder... Jim1138 (talk) 21:35, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Can someone please explain to me what I am doing wrong? I don't understand why these changes are seen as an autobiography and up for speedy deletion. I have looked at several other artist pages and they are almost the same as Marcell's.

Can I change the username on the account as well from Marcellrussell to onyxqueenmedia?

He is a known indie artist and I am creating this wikipedia page about him. --Marcellrussell (talk) 20:38, 27 July 2014 (UTC)


 * If sometime identifying himself as Marcell Russell writes an article about Marcell Russell, why would anyone not think it was autobiographical?


 * To change your user name, see WP:Changing username.


 * Onyx Queen Media--Are you involved in promoting Mr. Russell? If so then the guidelines regarding WP:Conflicts of interest are relevant. —Largo Plazo (talk) 21:19, 27 July 2014 (UTC)


 * By the way, I don't know why User:Jim1138 kept referring to speedy deletion template. It wasn't one. —Largo Plazo (talk) 21:28, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
 * It wasn't a speedy deletion template, was it? My apology! Thanks for pointing this out Largoplazo!
 * You can also "abandon" the name and just create another. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 21:35, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Oops, it looks like the easiest would be to create a new account. Sorry Jim1138 (talk) 21:35, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I've explained to the user via OTRS what the username issue is, and moved the article to the draft namespace where they can submit for review. The subject is likely notable, but the content should be submitted given the conflict of interest. § FreeRangeFrog croak 21:46, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
