Speedy deletion nomination of Ocean carolina


A tag has been placed on Ocean carolina requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from https://www.facebook.com/oceancarolina/info?key=past. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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.

Not sure how I leave a note here. I apologize for any misuse. It isn't intended. I thought I would be able to update Wikipedia for the band Ocean Carolina & I am happy to do so using my own name as opposed to Old Hand Record Company. My name is Tim Kopischke. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "OldHandRecordCompany", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website which relates to the entity in question, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you.  GILO  A& E&uArr;  23:07, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Your attention needed at WP:CHU
Hello. A bureaucrat or clerk has responded to your username change request, but requires clarification before moving forward. Please follow up at your username change request entry as soon as possible. Thank you. Tyrol5  [Talk]  16:41, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ocean Carolina


A tag has been placed on Ocean Carolina requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:14, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

I am not trying to violate any rules here. I do not understand why I can't add facts about Ocean Carolina like many, many other artists have on here... many of whom are as "unknown" as Ocean Carolina is. There are a couple notable people in the band that I believe Wikipedia users would like to know what else they are doing.

I also would like to change my name to Tim Kopischke. Can you please help me with that?

Why is a violation to add an Americana band to an Americana article on Wikipedia? I ask the same question about adding an alt-country band to an alt-country article?

I am very confused. I am not promoting but rather stating facts. OldHandRecordCompany (talk) 21:33, 2 December 2013 (UTC) Old Hand Record Company <-- FYI I am trying to change my name to Tim Kopischke as well.

I am not the only one who would like to learn that Jon Graboff and Caitlin Cary played on Ocean Carolina's album. Wikipedia is precisely one of the resources I would utilize to find this type of info. out. OldHandRecordCompany (talk) 21:36, 2 December 2013 (UTC) Old Hand Record Company

Promotion
Please do not use Wikipedia to promote your record label or its artists. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:22, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * PS: I should point out that your user name is still a violation of Wikipedia's user name policy. Your attempt to rectify this situation in November failed because you did not respond to the message you received from the Tyrol above.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:22, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

 * I have copied the above response from User talk:Old Hand Record Company. Your username is OldHandRecordCompany, not Old Hand Record Company (i.e. no spaces between words).  This was the same issue that caused your problem when you tried to change user names.  As for your confusion about your articles, please understand that Wikipedia requires that the subjects of any article be notable, as indicated by the existence of multiple instances of significant coverage of the subject in reliable, independent sources.  You have not demonstrated any such coverage in your articles about Ocean Carolina.  Your attempt to add links to the bands page at other locations (such as the Americana page) are seen as promotion.


 * Since you are closely related to Ocean Carolina's record label, it would be inappropriate for you to create their article. If you think they merit an article, you should request an article and see if someone not connected to the band chooses to step up to the task.


 * Finally, regarding your name change, you should go to WP:CHU and issue another request for a name change, this time with your proper current user name. Note that you will probably be warned about using your real name.  You are allowed to do so, but most people prefer not to.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 22:14, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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. Alexf(talk) 14:25, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
