Speedy deletion nomination of Al Carbee

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 Al Carbee 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 person or group of people, 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. GSK ✉ ✓ 19:46, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

melooo123 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I now understand what I did wrong. I was overly excited to join and submit someone I (and others I know) genuinely believe should be on wikipedia. As I started to explore my eyes were opened to wikipedia though and I realize that this was somewhat selfish and not in the spirit of wikipedia. I created my user page in haste but now I hope to become an editor and contribute to the wikipedia community. I'd like to take the tour and slow down a bit. If you would let me prove myself I'd like to edit other articles. I would really be upset if my ip address got blocked for good. Thanks and I hope you will consider this appeal

Decline reason:

Purely because the new username selected is a bit too close to comfort to that of an existing user (Melooo182). However, I'm not averse to lifting your block if you choose another username, and will take it up with the blocking admin now. Yunshui 雲‍水 08:41, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock request

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Requested username:

Request reason:

I now understand what I did wrong. I was overly excited to join and submit someone I (and others I know) genuinely believe should be on wikipedia. As I started to explore my eyes were opened to wikipedia though and I realize that this was somewhat selfish and not in the spirit of wikipedia. I created my user page in haste but now I hope to become an editor and contribute to the wikipedia community. I'd like to take the tour and slow down a bit. If you would let me prove myself I'd like to edit other articles right away. I've changed my new user name as well. I would really be upset if my ip address got blocked for good. Thanks and I hope you will consider this appeal

Accept reason:

Per discussion below: unblocking to allow username change to requested username. Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. Yunshui 雲‍水 14:12, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of questions, before unblocking. On your userpage, you state that it is your aim "to tell the world that Al Carbee is important." Your unblock request gives me some hope, but just to be clear: Do you understand that Wikipedia is not a platform for soapboxing like this, and will you abide by the best practice guidelines when writing about Carbee? Could you also state whether you have any direct personal connection to Carbee (you don't have to post anything that might identify you, just clarify whether or not you have any professional, familial or other personal relationship with him)? You should note that any edits you make regarding Al Carbee will be scrutinised, and any indication of promotion will probably see you blocked again. Yunshui 雲‍水 08:46, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Yunshui. I understand all of your concerns. I really was hasty in getting on wikipedia and just wanted to add Carbee. I have no relation to Carbee and I have never met him. I saw the movie Magical Universe which really touched me. I think that I would take a little hiatus from editing Carbee even though I have more articles to back up the info on there that I couldn't add due to the block. I understand that there should be rigorous scrutiny on Carbee and anything I do in general. I hope to do the wikipedia adventure right after being unblocked, if you so choose, so I can learn more. Then maybe I can edit a bit and prove myself. Thanks. MagicalUniverse

We can unblock this guy now. Daniel Case (talk) 13:51, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rename

Hi, KomodoDragon3000! As you can see, your rename request has been completed; be sure to use this as your username when you log in from now on. Thanks! Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 12:30, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
