Speedy deletion nomination of Overseas (band)[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Overseas (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. smileguy91^talk 01:28, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Issues[edit]

So, jamminjimmy certainly was hounding you, and breaking sockpuppet rules, but it does appear that you have a likely conflict of interest in the topics you are editing. Please read WP:COI. Additionally, I believe your username is in violation of our username policy as a promotional username due to the UTOW suffix. Wikipedia:Username_policy#Promotional_names I have notified the admin noticeboard of usernames, and as a result you may be blocked for your username. However, this block is easily remedied by requesting a user name change. You are welcome to self identify by using Bob Andrews as your username (assuming it is not already taken). If blocked, the block message will include instructions on how to request a user name change. Please comment here or on my talk page if you have any questions.

On further reading of Wikipedia:ISU#Usernames_implying_shared_use your name may be acceptable. The admins will make a call, but you may wish to comment at Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention Gaijin42 (talk) 18:43, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that the admins have determined that your name is not in violation. Carry on. Gaijin42 (talk) 19:42, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the advice. i appreciate the recent help from the wiki community. at this point i'd like to see the wiki article about me deleted. i realize it's not wiki material and i'm not sure why it was created in the first place. the article about undertow perhaps has merit to stay? it's not meant as a promotional tool. only as info and history of a long standing independent label and the associated notable artists. Very much like articles about other indie record labels like Merge Records, Saddle Creek Records, Barsuk Records, Polyvinyl Records, etc. But I'll leave that up to the wiki community to decide. Thanks again for the help. Bob Andrews UTOW (talk) 19:55, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As your article is currently nominated for deletion, feel free to comment that as the subject you would like it deleted. The article seems borderline, and that could push it over the edge. Gaijin42 (talk) 20:00, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

May 2013[edit]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Undertow Music may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 21:48, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Bob Andrews (artist manager)[edit]

Hi,

According to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bob Andrews UTOW/Archive, you're Highberry (talk · contribs). According to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bob Andrews (artist manager) (2nd nomination), you want Bob Andrews (artist manager) to be deleted.

The only significant contributions to that article are made by Highberry, and WP:CSD#G7 allows for an article to be speedy-deleted if the person who made the only substantial contributions wants it gone.

To request this, you'll need to log in as your Highberry account (otherwise there's no evidence that that's actually you other than your claim at WP:SI), and add something like the following to the article:

{{db-author|rationale=I am the subject and sole significant contributor of this article. The only edits made by other editors are covered in the following diffs: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bob_Andrews_%28artist_manager%29&diff=334807643&oldid=332398976][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bob_Andrews_(artist_manager)&diff=557594164&oldid=334966857]. I am now editing as {{User|Bob Andrews UTOW}}, but have logged into this account to prove that I am the sole significant author. ~~~~}}

With that at the top of the article, I expect it would be deleted pretty promptly per WP:CSD.
