Notability of Vastry
A tag has been placed on Vastry 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. Adolphus (talk) 23:42, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Conflict of interest note
By your user name, it appears that you represent a company or organization. Please read our conflict of interest guidelines as well as our FAQ for businesses. We welcome your contributions here, but please refrain from writing about your own company's services and personnel. Thanks, and happy editing!  AK Radecki Speaketh  02:00, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Your 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 FAQ/Organization and Conflict of interest''.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and forbidden by policies, and also violates our username policy.

However, if you feel that there has been a mistake in your blocking, please appeal this block by adding the text   or email 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). Please check that your new username has not already been taken by checking this list. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 05:55, 2 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm the admin who deleted it, and I'm concerned about the musician edits, as well. The article was written as if you were either the musician or someone paid to promote him. You posted cover images, claiming to be the copyright owner, which could only be true if you were indeed professionally connected. If you aren't, then you would be in serious jeopardy of a block for blatant copyvio. It's not nice to take something that belongs to someone else and claim that it is your own. I'd like to see an explanation before anything goes further here.  AK Radecki Speaketh  16:09, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * You haven't addressed the issue that you lied about owning the copyrights of the images you uploaded.  AK Radecki Speaketh  15:33, 9 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I have unblocked you on some specific conditions: 1) you don't go near the Vastry article. 2) You do not upload any images unless you have taken them personally with your own camera. You need to understand that even though you bought the CDs, you do not own the rights to the music nor to the cover art. They are protected by copyright, and to claim that you own the copyright when you don't, as you did, is actually a crime in the U.S., where the Wikipedia servers are located. You are free to edit other articles, and I hope you have an enjoyable time from here on out contributing to the encyclopedia.  AK Radecki Speaketh  14:27, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Amr mostafa


The article Amr mostafa has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Not notable. Insignificant coverage in secondary sources.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Bladeofgrass (talk) 17:38, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Vastry! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:
