Speedy deletion nomination of The Random Blanket Show


A tag has been placed on The Random Blanket Show requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Guest9999 (talk) 02:43, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

October 2009
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page The Random Blanket Show has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.youtube.com/user/RandomBlankets/ (matching the regex rule \byoutube\.com). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 02:50, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Welcome
Hello, Nateswine, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself has been or will shortly be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, but if you want to use the content from it, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome!  RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive' 01:53, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Nathan Eswine. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. ~Super Hamster  Talk Contribs 02:39, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Repost of Nathan Eswine
A tag has been placed on requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, place the template hangon underneath the other template on the article and put a note on the page's discussion page saying why this article should stay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you.

Suspected sockpuppet
You are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Sockpuppet investigations/Thebadgey. Thank you. Matthewedwards : Chat  02:24, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Nathan Eswine
Hi, User:Nateswine. I have had to delete the article Nathan Eswine and protected it from being created for two weeks. You have recreated the article three times, despite being told multiple times that you shouldn't.

For an article to be included on Wikipedia, the author must show why the subject of that article is notable, which basically means that a reliable third-party publication has written about that subject. These reliable sources can be newspaper articles, magazine articles, articles in reliable websites (usually if they or their parent company has an article here, they're notable and reliable), a television show, etc etc. Notability (people) also gives more information about how you can show that a person is notable. I have found nothing at Google to indicate that Nathan Eswine meets our threshold for notability, and until that occurs, an article on that person should not exist.

I suggest you also read Your first article, which is a guide to some things you should know before creating your first Wikipedia article. From your username, I believe you may actually be Nathan Eswine, so you should also read Autobiography, which is a guideline to writing articles about yourself. Generally, it is discouraged, except in special circumstances such as reverting vandalism. If you believe you do deserve an article written about yourself, you can ask at WP:REQUEST for another editor to create that article.

As I stated in the previous message, you have been accused of "sock puppetry". This means that someone suspects you of using more than one username (or account) in an unconventional way; in this case, creating and editing the same article. Users are usually only allowed one username, and any additional accounts can be blocked indefinitely from editing. I should also advise you here that it would be unwise to ask your friends or family to create an article about you at Wikipedia. This is known as "meat puppetry", and carries the same penalty as socking.

For what it's worth, I don't believe you have recreated the article or used two accounts to be intentionally disruptive, rather that you are new to the site and unfamiliar with our policies and guidelines; however, if you continue to create the article or additional accounts, it won't look good for you. If you have any questions, you can either reply here or contact me on my own talk page, and I'll try to help and explain anything other questions you might have. All the best, Matthewedwards : Chat  02:50, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
