Flatlander (band)[edit]

A tag has been placed on Flatlander (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. justinfr (talk) 15:52, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from articles you have created, as you did with Flatlander (band). If you wish to contest the speedy deletion nomination, use the {{hangon}} tag beneath the notice instead, then make your case on the article's talk page. I have fixed the page to reflect this guideline. justinfr (talk) 15:59, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Flatlander (band)[edit]

A tag has been placed on Flatlander (band), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. — Matt Eason ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 16:42, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Even if your band meets WP:MUSIC, the article lacks any third-party sources to back up your claims. The article is clearly promotional in tone - phrases like "Flatlander draws on varied geographical and musical backgrounds, humor, and a love of music to create an atmosphere that makes you want to dance and sing along with each song" and including the email address of your booking agent aren't encyclopaedic. I'd strongly encourage you to take a look at WP:COI. — Matt Eason ^{(Talk  Contribs)} 17:08, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Dickeymcc. You have new messages at Justinfr's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

The page has been deleted now, but briefly - the onus is on you, the author of the article, to provide specific citations to reliable, verifiable sources. You can't just say "this is notable, go look it up!" and expect the reader to search everything ever published in the hope of maybe coming across something relevant. I'd also say that putting the email address of your booking agent in the article is pretty self-serving. — Matt Eason ^{(Talk  Contribs)} 17:53, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Flatlander (band)[edit]

I have nominated Flatlander (band), an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flatlander (band). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? — Matt Eason ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 22:40, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Flatlander (band)[edit]

Why do you persist in recreating this article without taking into account any of the suggestions by other editors? There have been plenty of them at your talk, the deletion discussion, User talk:Bewildebeast, and and User talk:Justinfr. Wikipedia works on consensus. Please, either take other editors into account or stop being disruptive. justinfr (talk) 14:49, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

August 2008[edit]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. Tan ǀ 39 15:49, 20 August 2008 (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).

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

Request reason:

there has been no review of my deleted article(s). reasons given have all been arbitrary and those deleting credible articles are utilizing double-standards. further, i have never been given any sort of formal review which i requested.

Decline reason:

First, I'm sorry you weren't informed promptly about deletion review which is where requests like yours to undo deletions should really be placed. That said, you were asked repeatedly not to recreate the article but you just kept doing it. Furthermore, the article was totally uncited, and doesn't demonstrate the typical minimal standards for notability; in addition, the article was an advertisement. That's why you're blocked and I see no reason to believe you wouldn't return to such behavior if I were to unblock you early. Note, though, that your block is temporary: in 48 hours your block will expire and then you can return. When you do, don't re-create the article again or you'll be blocked for longer and longer periods. Use WP:DRV instead. Mango juice^talk 16:42, 20 August 2008 (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.

Note to reviewing admin: There was a deletion discussion here, with a result of speedy delete. Tan ǀ 39 15:59, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Second note: This user has shown a persistent resistance to receiving any kind of advice, instead just re-creating the same article and trying to circumvent other editors. Please see discussion on my talk page. justinfr (talk) 16:02, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to unblock decline: User was template-notified about the AfD discussion, upon creation of said discussion, here. Also, both articles have been salted to prevent recreation. Tan ǀ 39 16:48, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm merely apologizing that WP:DRV wasn't mentioned earlier; it should have been mentioned after the first repost was deleted. Mango juice^talk 17:10, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Repost of Flatlander (musical group)[edit]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Flatlander (musical group), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Flatlander (musical group) was previously deleted as a result of an articles for deletion (or another XfD)

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Flatlander (musical group), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Folk by Association[edit]

The article Folk by Association has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 17:45, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

August 2018[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at QAnon, you may be blocked from editing. Grayfell (talk) 08:46, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
