New Listing.[edit]

How do you add a new person.

Welcome. I added our standard welcome to your talk page. It has some places to start for you. We don't add people, we add articles about notable subject, some of whom are people. If a subject is notable, it can have an article. If a subject is not notable, it cannot have an article: this includes articles about people. We have a very peculiar and specific definition of "notable": see WP:N. Any attempt to add an article about a non-notable subject will only end in frustration. If you find that you person is notable, then come back here and we can help further.-Arch dude (talk) 05:26, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How to request permanent ban[edit]

I request for a globally permanent ban of my username. How can I do? --Marcello Gianola (talk) 10:15, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Marcello Gianola: meta:Global bans are not made on user request. Why do you want it? You can just make a strong password and stop editing. PrimeHunter (talk) 10:34, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm here to formally complain.[edit]

A few years ago, the NOW Music team located in the UK and members of Virgin EMI created Wikipedia pages of the albums within the series. All this effort has been removed, and it's very infuriating. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.222.140.21 (talk) 15:40, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your complaint is hereby formally acknowledged. Please read WP:PAID, WP:COI, and WP:N (and specifically WP:NMUSIC), which you were instructed to read before you went to all that effort in the first place. Please read each article's deletion discussion.If you feel the deletions were not compliant with our policies, then contact the administrator that deleted them using that admin's talk page and you can then initiate a deletion review. -Arch dude (talk) 16:46, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Please look at Now That's What I Call Music!, and in particular at the block at the bottom of the page. That block shows links to a large number of individual album articles. Are these the articles you are looking for? It appears that the ones you are interested in have been renamed, not deleted. I looked at a quasi-random sample of these. Almost all of them should be deleted as they do not meet our notability criteria (or at least do not assert notability). I will not nominate them for deletion myself as I am not all that interested in this subject. -Arch dude (talk) 02:30, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
