Hi, Just got your message. > I don't know how there are duplicate accounts, so sorry. > I am not very internet savvy so to speak and need to delete the other user yet too dull to know how. > The original page was supposed to be deleted some 4 years ago after some discussions with a wiki admin who was very aggressive despite me asking for simple advice. > Fans of the band pointed out that the page was still alive so I wanted to refresh it, with references also. > > Am I asking too much ? > Regards, > ICICLE65 — Preceding unsigned comment added by ICICLE65 (talk • contribs) 16:36, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * I just left an explanation of the problem at 's talk page (in simple terms that this clearly inexperienced editor will hopefully understand). Rather than bite the newcomer, I think he should at least be given an opportunity to present independent reliable sources to establish notability for his favourite band — or, alternatively, to find other subjects to write on.  I don't really see the change of account name as bald sockpuppetry; after all, he was instructed (see User talk:SOUNDSTORMER) that if he were going to stay here, he would need to switch to a less obviously promotional user name.  Given the overall situation, I'm inclined to say this doesn't really belong at SPI, and further action should depend on whether ICICLE65 follows the rules after having now been given a (hopefully) clear and patient explanation of what the problem is and how he should change his behaviour to meet our requirements.  —  Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 06:39, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
