Speedy deletion of Zebra & Giraffe
A tag has been placed on Zebra & Giraffe, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Largo Plazo (talk) 17:41, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

About deletion
Thanks for your note on my talkpage. Rachelle, do you have any reliable, secondary sources that have written about Zebra and Giraffe? Has anyone ever written a review (independently and unpaid) of Carlin's work? If not, there is little to no chance of the article being recreated. Wikipedia is not in the business of "creating notability", we are of the service to write about things/events/people/bands/etc that are already notable, have already been written about. We then write about them encyclopedically as a reference. The fact that you said "the new band Zebra and Giraffe" does not exude confidence that you are attempting to do anything other than to promote a new band (there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of these "band" articles written every week). Link me to a review or two that write about Z&G, I'll help you along. In my preliminary searches, (what I do before I ever delete anythin)I haven't found any, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. Keeper &#448;  76  18:56, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Article restored
As you probably noticed, I quickly restored the article based on the reviews that you posted on my talkpage. I have added the reviews to the article that you wrote. However, you will notice that I've also nominated the article for deletion. What that means is that the article has been brought to the attention of the wider Wikipedia community (instead of it just being "my" decision, it's now up to the community to decide if it stays or goes). I hope you have no hard feelings about the deletion, I honestly did a search for sources and was pleasantly surprised when you produced as many as you did! The deletion discussion (which will stay open for a minimum of 5 days in order to get a consensus, is located at Articles for deletion/Zebra & Giraffe. You are more than welcome to add your thoughts to that discussion explaining to the community why you feel the article should stay on wikipedia.  Cheers,   Keeper  &#448;  76  20:50, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Rachelle crous. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Rachelle crous~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:35, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
