Speedy deletion nomination of User:ShanaHalligan


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:ShanaHalligan, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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 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, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --ShanaHalligan (talk) 20:45, 15 July 2016 (UTC) I am the manager for singer/songwriter Shana Halligan. She's the former lead singer of the band Bitter:Sweet. Whenever I would search for her on Wikipedia it would automatically redirect to Bitter:Sweet. She has not been with that band in years and has a solo career. I am simply trying to provide updated information on Shana and create a new page for her.

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... I am simply trying to provide updated background information on the singer/songwriter Shana Halligan. Although a bit more biographical, her page does not look much different than your page. If her page does not conform with Wikipedia standard, please let me know what changes I need to make to be in compliance, as Shana is an accomplished musician whose history should be reflected in Wikipedia. -- ShanaHalligan (talk) 20:54, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Your account name
This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, ShanaHalligan, matches the name of a well-known, living person.

If you are the person represented by this username, please note that the practice of blocking such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated, not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. You may choose to edit under a new username (see information below), but keep in mind that you are welcome to continue to edit under this username. If you choose to do so, we ask the following:
 * Please be willing and able to prove your identity to Wikipedia.
 * Please send an e-mail to info-en[[Image:At sign.svg|15px|@]]wikimedia.org. Be aware that the volunteer response team that handles e-mail is indeed operated entirely by volunteers, and the reply may not be immediate.

If you are not the person represented by this username, you are welcome to choose a new username (see below).'''

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:29, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Your draft
 The content at your userpage has been deleted because it was a copyright violation from your website. It was also promotional and violated WP:FAKEARTICLE.

However, the subject may be notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Please read WP:42, Your first article, and if you are related to the subject, Plain and simple conflict of interest guide also. Then, you may recreate the draft article about your organization by preparing it via Articles for creation. Write neutrally, in your own words, based on the sources, with no copy pasting from the sources. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:29, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

I have unblocked you. Here are some important things to read about:


 * A simple notability guideline
 * Your first article
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * Peacock and weasel words
 * Reliable sources
 * Original research
 * Neutral point of view
 * Copyright violations

If there is anything you ever need or have any questions, please ask. Thank you, and happy editing.
