Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website, I have blocked this account from editing. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
 * To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
 * If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

Thank you. Cabayi (talk) 07:25, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:BounceTheOcean/sandbox


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:BounceTheOcean/sandbox, 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 advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This 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 or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Lavalizard101 (talk) 12:05, 7 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I'm very new to Wikipedia 'editing' so apologies for unintentionally flouting the many policies and best practices.  I think I'm currently blocked from contesting the nomination to be deleted so I'll just write here why I think the 'bounce the ocean' page should exist as a matter of historical record.  More than 30 years ago, the pop duo 'bounce the ocean' recorded an eponymously titled album featuring some of the music industry's most respected musicians (see article - many Grammys here).  As such, the music 'lives on' in many corners of the world and with the advent of streaming/digital music distributors, bounce the ocean's music continues to re-emerge, playing on platforms like Pandora, Sirius Radio, Spotify, et al.  With that, folks would naturally google and look for facts about this musical group.  Which is why I believe a short, succinct Wikipedia encyclopedic entry makes sense - not to promote the group which hasn't been active for more than 30 years but for the historical record.
