Proposed deletion of Oz Chiri[edit]

The article Oz Chiri has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. —C.Fred (talk) 06:25, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Blue Embrace (band)[edit]

The article Blue Embrace (band) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Advertisement for a band that doesn't appear to meet WP:BAND

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Blue Embrace conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Hardrock4ever. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Blue Embrace (band), you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

Rinkle gorge (talk) 20:22, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop removing Articles for deletion notices or comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages as you did with this edit to Blue Embrace (band). If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Mz7 (talk) 20:28, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Oz Chiri for deletion[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Oz Chiri is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oz Chiri until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Rinkle gorge (talk) 20:33, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. The next time you remove an Articles for deletion notice or a comment from an AfD discussion, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Excirial^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 20:44, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for persistent vandalism. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Excirial^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 20:45, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Hardrock4ever (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I am not related to anyone in Blue Embrace or Oz Chiri. I am simply a fan and a follower of the group and artist. Please do not delete the pages, I'm not vandalizing and I'm just making a wiki page for the group. And if there is a way to remove the ban. Thanks. Hardrock4ever (talk) 21:08, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

As noted below, the block was because you persistently removed the Articles for Deletion notification template from the article. Removing the template does not stop the discussion; it just makes editors unaware of the ongoing discussion. Because you were warned repeatedly not to remove the template but still did, you were blocked. You can either wait out the block (24 hours), or you can place another request demonstrating that you understand that AfD templates may not be removed and that you agree to not remove any more such templates. —C.Fred (talk) 00:04, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Perhaps the block template should have been somewhat more specific. You're currently blocked from editing because you continuously removed Articles for deletion templates from both pages, despite having been told multiple times not to do so. Excirial^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 21:14, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- To answer the question you just asked: Your account is currently blocked from editing for 24 hours. Unless the block is modified or removed your account will be able to edit again once this timeframe has passed. I would note though that persistent removal of AFD templates after this block expires will most likely lead to an indefinite block.

As for the pages in question: Both are currently marked with an article's for deletion template. Articles for deletion (AFD) is a process where editors discuss whether a page is in line with the various policies that apply to article's. If the subject is deemed notable for inclusion the page is kept. If not the page itself will be deleted. As of current the answer would thus be "That depends on the outcome of the AFD discussion".

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I am not affiliated with Blue Embrace or Oz Chiri. I recieved a message from C.Fred saying I have a connection with the person named Kj198, but I do not know who the person is and do not have connections with that person either. Hardrock4ever (talk) 12:21 am, Today (UTC+0)

Decline reason:

Does not address reason for block. Yunshui 雲‍水 09:53, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

It was never suggested that you're affiliated with either. You were blocked for removing a notification template from the article. I'll leave it for another admin to consider, but I would not unblock you, since you have not addressed the reason for your block.

Yes, I mentioned you in a user talk message to Excirial, where I asked him if he thought it was coincidence that you and Kj198 were editing the same articles or possibly abuse of multiple accounts. —C.Fred (talk) 01:33, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for February 27[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Blue Embrace (band), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fenix (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:05, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
