Notability of Screams of terror
A tag has been placed on Screams of terror requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, 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. &mdash; 72.75.110.31 (talk) 21:29, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to Horror fiction magazine constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 21:34, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Block
This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See Business' FAQ and Conflict of interest.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia policies. In addition, the use of a username like yours violates our username policy.

You may appeal this block by adding the text  or emailing the administrator who blocked you. Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. Cirt (talk) 21:52, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Barry, could I suggest you have a look a the notability guideline? I suspect the Screams of Terror zine doesn't fulfill our requirements for inclusion. If you disagree, you could post some links to reliable sources that establish notability - for example press coverage or books about the subject. Also, could you clarify whether you interested in contributing to other articles. Thanks! PhilKnight (talk) 22:58, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your kind reply. I do not have any issue with Screams of Terror not being included in the Wiki, while nice, it is not necessary for any particular reason.  Any press coverage of Screams of Terror was on radio or in print magazines such as Haunted Times Magazine.  The only link I can think of is more about me than the magazine although remains on topic: Westword Magazine: X-phile  I do however still wish to be unblocked.  The edits that I have made were all appropriate and were related to the articles that I added to and had nothing to do with spam or spamming.  --Screams of Terror (talk) 23:20, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * You won't be unblocked under this username because it violates the policy. You will have to request a change of username before you can be unblocked.Templarion (talk) 02:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm all set to approve your unblock since you seem to have dropped your pursuit of an article on your own magazine, and you've chosen an available and appropriate new username. I just wanted to make sure you read Conflict of Interest and the FAQ for businesses and acknowledge them first.  Mango juice talk 03:28, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll defer to on this one. Cirt (talk) 04:19, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I have read and completely agree to both the COI and the FAQ for businesses. I have submitted a change of username to Cirt via e-mail since I am unable to use the change username in Wiki. Screams of Terror (talk) 06:27, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Note that I am unsure that your username by itself would violate the username policy. As long as you wish to improve the encyclopedia, and don't promote your e-zine, this is fine by me. -- lucasbfr  talk 11:17, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
