Very bad form
It's very bad form to create your article in main article space in spite of it being rejected as a draft. I have deleted it. Please work on getting your draft approved instead. It is far from being ready for main article space. See WP:MUSICBIO to get an idea of what the person needs to merit an article in Wikipedia. At the moment, the sources you cite don't demonstrate notability of the subject. See Golden rule for an overview of what we expect. Thanks. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:45, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

With a few rare exceptions, everything you write in Wikipedia must be entirely in your own words.

Speedy deletion nomination of Rand Rusher


A tag has been placed on Rand Rusher, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion which appears inside the speedy deletion notice.

Speedy deletion nomination of Rand Rusher


A tag has been placed on Rand Rusher, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

Conflict of interest
Hello, PPCsteph. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page David R. Raiklen, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. – Athaenara ✉  06:22, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Blocked
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. – Athaenara ✉  06:22, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

You say that you "do not have a personal relationship with anyone that I posted about"; do you have a non-personal relationship, such as a professional relationship? 331dot (talk) 18:13, 28 October 2019 (UTC)


 * This editor has a history of posting articles that have been declined in AFC to main space, and creating copyvio content, requiring others to clean up afterward. Overall I am not seeing unblocking as a net benefit for the Wikipedia project unless this editor agrees to change past practices. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:59, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
