User talk:Deadbeatsltd

The article Dead Beats has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

Username sounds like an organization[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: It sounds like a role account. . After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 22:51, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou for the prompt reply todd, i can assure you my username is not a role account, it represents me alone, on my mac, at home and not Dead Beats itself in any way, although i am part of the team. I intend to continue using this account for any other edits or new pages i may create.

I do not intend to use Wikipedia as an advertising ploy to promote Dead Beats, as we are non-profit, we only give things away for free - i appreciate my original page format was heavily promoting dead beats and, being honest, i copied it directly from an article i wrote for leeds met student wiki (http://thestudentwiki.org/dead_beats) which is operated by our university and we had been told we could promote the site on there, i didnt stop to think when i put it on wikipedia. i have removed all of what wikipedia stated was 'blatant advertising' from the page.

I'd also like to say why i feel Dead Beats deserves a mention on wikipedia. wikipedia is the worlds most highly respected resource for the documentation of all things informative and i realise that doesnt mean that it is a business directory, but dead beats as an organisation working with the local community, in particular the massive student community, is information worth documenting. if wikipedia does not feel we are as 'significant' as any of the other UK independant record labels you have listed on here, then by all means 'speedily delete' the page. Upon what is significance judged though? Im sure i could find enough people in the Leeds area alone who would endorse us.

thanks again
