Speedy deletion nomination of The Ottsworth Experience
'''Wow, was I arrogant! I was very ummm... "assertive" back when I was 12 wasn't I? --Ottsworth (talk) 16:43, 27 March 2012 (UTC)'''

A tag has been placed on The Ottsworth Experience 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.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 14:27, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Answer I don't know. I like writing about demos released by now very popular bands, and various trivia on them etc. stuff to do with music anyway.  Ottsworth Talk 08:38, 11 August 2009 (GMT)

Juliancolton I would like to reply to the comment you just made, when you said, "How does a 12 year old release a demo?". Simple. To record I used Audacity Music recording software, then, using the bass guitar I owned, recorded the bass lines on the software. To record a standard electric guitar sound, I turned up the treble on my amp and then turned down the bass, and recorded. To record vocals, I own a USB microphone which I plug into the computer and record as well onto Audacity. For sampling I used Soundplant Sampler, and lastly, for drums, I used a drum machine except in the track "Meatloaf" in which my friend George recorded drums live in as well as his brother hugh recording live bass in it. Then, I mixed all of these tracks together on Audacity and synced them. Once this process was complete, I published them as .wav files. After that, I needed them to be .aac files, so I uploaded them to iTunes and right clicked for all of the finished songs, "Create AAC version". After I had done this I had the finished demo. If I were to publish them, I would simply go to Ditto Music and almost instantly publish them to iTunes, Spotify, iLike, Amazon and many other online music shops for a reletively small fee. I would then recieve a pay for my music on iTunes, Spotify etc. and recieve airplay royalties as well if it were to be played. I find that there is a great amount of adultism, ageism and prejudice towards children. I belive that children are equal to adults. Aldults should not be expected to be better than children, it is about your skill, not your age, that determines wether you have the ability to do something or not. I am very good at music and wish to take Music in GCSE's, A levels etc. and take up a job in music, in both classical and modern. I am classiclly trained, as well as playing bass guitar and singing. I hope after reading this, you will go away with a clearer view of the abilities of children. Thank you. OttsworthTalk 18:45, 12 August 2009 (GMT)

Your block
I've reduced your block to a finite duration: it will expire in 48 hours. This is on the basis of your indicating a positive interest and that you had previously made positive attempts to contribute. I do want to respond to your unblock request though: (1) the final warning you saw was left because the user who left it was not an admin: it is fairly common practice to leave a warning and simultaneously request blocking. When the situation warrants it (as it did here) a block may be issued even if the last warning hasn't been violated. (2) "Simply letting people know about information and albums from my project" is the very definition of self-promotion. (Note that self-promotion does not necessarily lead to financial gain, if that's what you were thinking.) (3) Being a "bored 12 year old" is not an excuse for inappropriate edits. I sympathize but there are lots of appropriate things to do on Wikipedia, like looking through WP:CLEANUP for ways to help out, and plenty of other websites out there for entertainment. I hope you will recognize that I am extending you some trust that you will edit appropriately in the future, and live up to that trust. Mango juice talk 15:38, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
