Master account User:Smatamusicgroup was banned due to violation of having promotional username via WP:UAA and creation of WP:PROMOTIONAL article Draft:James Nemesis. Immediately, after block a new account User:Jamesnemesis again submitted Draft:James Nemesis (see Special:Contributions/Jamesnemesis for proof) with a statement within draft saying Hi ! THIS IS NOT AN UNDISCLOSED PAID WORK. SMATA MUSIC GROUP IS JAMES NEMESIS, MYSELF. I CREATED THIS MUSIC LABEL MYSELF ON DISTROKID TO DISTRIBUTE MY MUSIC. SORRY FOR THE MISUNDERSTANDING. BUT I'M DOING EVERYTHING MYSELF. SO, I CREATED A NEW WIKIPEDIA ACCOUNT WITH MY STAGE NAME TO DO THINGS RIGHT. THANK YOU !'. ~ Amkgp ✉  12:44, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Dear Sir, Dear Madam,

I'm deeply sorry you suspect me of such a thing. I simply wanted to do things professionally.

Indeed, I'm in self-production. So I created the music label "Smata Music Group", because it's a prerequisite at distrokid.com, in order to distribute my music on music streaming services.

So, I created a wikipedia account with the name "Smatamusicgroup", to represent the artist I am.

I regret that you couldn't make the distinction between the artist and the producer. I am an independent artist, and my own producer and art director.

If I created a new wikipedia account with my artist name or stage name, it's because someone accused me of making a wikipedia article and getting paid for it. Witch is untrue, obviously, since I'm my own producer.

I created this new account with my artist name, because not only was this accusation made against me, but also because I couldn't or I didn't know how to defend myself on Wikipedia, since my account "smatamusicgroup" has been blocked.

But now I'm defending myself against an accusation of Sockpuppet. Which is completely false and insane.

I hope I made it clear, I don't think I made any mistake. Because from the very beginning, I've been transparent : I marked in the description of my user account "Smatamusicgroup" : "Samata music group represents James Nemesis", and then "Smata Music Group is James Nemesis".

To conclude, dear ~ Amkgp  ✉, you accused me of a terrible thing. I expect an apology from you.

You have deeply offended me.

- James Nemesis, Smatamusicgroup.

P.S : Dear ~ Amkgp  ✉, have you created your own rules in Wikipedia against the real rules ? "I'm writing about myself, or a close person/subject" See this in : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_wizard/CommonMistakes. That's correct, right ?

Do not remove my comment. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesnemesis (talk • contribs) 14:49, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

 * I think this SPI is completely without merit; when the original account was blocked, it was a softblock with the encouragement to create a new account that wasn't promotionally named. Jamesnemesis did exactly that, so there is no reason for the new account to be blocked. Primefac (talk) 14:53, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Primefac is correct - creating a new account after softblocking is permitted (and, in fact, the softblock explicitly mentions that as an option). The article was hopelessly promotional, but that's not an issue for SPI. Closing without further action. creffett (talk) 14:56, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
