User talk:TheBestPeople9

Welcome![edit]

Hello, TheBestPeople9, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:TheBestPeople9, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:TheBestPeople9[edit]

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 User:TheBestPeople9, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://sites.google.com/view/the-best-people. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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 "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 deleted 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.

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --TheBestPeople9 (talk) 07:51, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We have been flagged for copyright of text on our very own website. We own the website https://sites.google.com/view/the-best-people/home and took our mission statement from there for our Wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheBestPeople9 (talk • contribs) November 11, 2021 (UTC)

The website https://sites.google.com/view/the-best-people is "§ Copyright © The Best People 2021 All Rights Reserved ® §" Wikipedia cannot use it unless it is released for public use. Read the above warning to see how to confirm your identity and donate copyrighted material.

But that's not the only problem:

The material is promotional and should not be on Wikipedia. Userspace is not free webspace for you to use to promote your site.
User accounts are only to be used by a single person. Since you are using "we" you appear to be sharing this account.
Your user name appears to promotional. Bob at TheBestPeople would be acceptable, but not simply the name of the group. Meters (talk) 08:01, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --TheBestPeople9 (talk) 08:08, 11 November 2021 (UTC) 1. The text we posted DID NOT have a link to the site and was not promoting it. The text was an introduction and did was not promoting anything. 2. We use we because we have Dissociative identity disorder and we want to be referred to as such 3. The Best People is our name. Please respect that. We are not part of a group! The website has been "donated" to Wikipedia, if that helps. We own the site and all information and text on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheBestPeople9 (talk • contribs) 08:08, November 11, 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No you didn't post a link to the page, but it does not have to have a link to be a problem. It's webhosting. The text is clearly promoting the group TheBestPeople. It is a verbatim copy of the copyrighted material from the webpage (it took me only a few seconds to find the page). Your user page has been reported as being webhosting and a copyright violation. Your username has been reported as a violation as a promotional user name. We'll see what the admins who deal with this think. Meters (talk) 08:29, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

Thank you. —Cryptic 09:49, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
