Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Brandon Michaels. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Brandon T Michaels. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Brandon T Michaels – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. EricEnfermero (Talk) 06:04, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Don't create multiple copies of the same article. We can create redirects if there are other likely titles for the same subject. Meters (talk) 06:21, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article seems to blatantly exaggerate the person's achievements. So, what are his claims of notability?

He "starred" (read: played as an uncredited extra) in a TV episode.
He was invited to Junior Olympic Games in water polo. The claim is unrefrerenced; if the claim refers to the Junior Olympic Games organized by Amateur Athletic Union, then as far as I can tell, there wasn't a water polo event in the 2014 Junior Olympic Games. (I note that the article says that he was "invited" to Junior Olympic Games, not that he "participated".)
He had "many nominations and awards" with no details or references.
He "made a debut on ESPN" with no further details, and with a link to ESPN coverage of the 2016 Olympic Games in water polo which doesn't mention the person.
And finally, which is the whole purpose of the article, he is the founder and head of a minor company which cooperates with (as of now) three YouTubers and sells custom T-shirts and other items. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 06:26, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have reviewed the second version of the article. While you have removed the most blatantly promotional parts, the key reasons why the article isn't suitable for an encyclopedia remain. First of all, you need to understand that the primary inclusion criterion is coverage in reliable third-party sources; this goes together with the policy of verifiability.

You make a lot from the fact that you at the age of 9 appeared on TV in the reality show 'Say Yes to the Dress'. To that I note that the star of the show are the store owners. If anybody from the customer family could be called a star, it's the bride - not a 9-year-old child. (I also find it suspect that the episode's IMDB summary mentions you by your full name; no such phrasing appears either in the previous episode's summary, nor in the following one, nor in any summary of that episode on another website that I could find. You didn't happen to submit an edit request to IMDB - did you?) The same applies to your "guest appearance" in one of the next episodes. (I don't think that any of the customers of the store would warrant an article just by the virtue of their appearance on reality TV.)
The claim that you have participated at water polo Junior Olympics [1] is still unreferenced; the result archives only list the team names. It doesn't seem that the event has attracted much third-party coverage, unlike the real deal. Let alone the individual team members!
Then you claim that you "debut[ed] on ESPN" with no further details, and with a link to ESPN coverage of water polo at 2016 Olympic Games which still doesn't mention you.
Finally, CrowdCaptures. I sincerely doubt that you have made any partnership with YouTube (or with Google which is the owner of YouTube). You describe your company with buzzwords like "outsourced independent conglomerate", but the fact remains: it is a minor company which supports (as of now) three YouTubers by selling custom T-shirts and similar items.

Enough is enough. I have deleted the article, and protected it from re-creation. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 20:51, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

September 2016[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Guy (Help!) 22:50, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The reason for the block is that you are here only to promote someone, and you will not take "no" for an answer. Guy (Help!) 22:51, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Guy that wasn't so nice.... I think your wrong by the way and me not taking no for an answer is me just being more passionate about the subject of my article then you simply are.

Respectfully The Guy's week you just ruined. (Business of Today (talk) 03:11, 23 September 2016 (UTC))[reply]

Sorry, but that article was nothing but blatant self-promotion. Passion is awesome, but some of that passion should have been directed to studying the rules and policies of the place you chose to promote yourself. Drmies (talk) 14:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
