User talk:Modern ArtRock

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Modern ArtRock, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Theroadislong (talk) 13:09, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... I'm assuming it's because I have put a link to a facebook page? I'm trying to help establish a genre by use of a facebook blog and this social media (non-profit) blog is, I felt, the best way to help define it, as Wikipedia is not a blog. The comments and content on the blog would help define the term but if that is so disastrous then have the user without the link; delete the link. To me a term needs to be defined by acceptance of others and I'm trying to help build a music genre term, that's all, to help promote it in a world otherwise short of promotion for non commercial based music. the wiki 'Art Rock' page is full of links to potentially profit based self interests, this one isn't and it's trying to be forward thinking, modern 9the wiki goals I'd have thought) rather than living in the past. Maybe I don't get the rules of wikipedia but I haven't found it very easy to understand, welcoming or friendly on my first venture --Modern ArtRock (talk) 13:28, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello there! I've left you the standard message regarding your username, but thought I'd also leave you a note as you've said you're having difficulties. We actually don't allow the use of any page on Wikipedia, including user pages, for promotion of anyone or anything. Their intent is more to be a short biography of our editors, and perhaps a catalog of their interests and the like.
 * If you're interested in promoting your particular site, there are plenty of other sites that do allow such promotional activity, you might consider using one or more of them. If you're just interested in the music genre, on the other hand, you are welcome to choose a new username and help contribute to our coverage of it. I'm afraid you still won't be allowed to promote your own site, though. Seraphimblade Talk to me 18:12, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * (By the way, if you have any additional questions, you can edit this page even while blocked. I'm watching this page and would see that you've followed up. ) Seraphimblade Talk to me 18:14, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Seraphimblade Talk to me 18:09, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
