Usernames for administrator attention

This page is intended for reports of usernames that are blatant and serious violations of the username policy requiring an immediate block. Reports will be assessed in accordance with the username policy, the UAA instructions, and the following bullet points. Please ensure you are familiar with the assessment criteria before making a report. Except in the instance of an egregious name violation, please do not report accounts with no edits or those who have not edited in the preceding 2 weeks. Real names are permitted, except when the editor implies they are someone other than themselves, such as impersonating a notable living person. Promotional names require evidence to be blocked. Do not report a username merely because it "appears" promotional. For libellous usernames or usernames that contain another editor's nonpublic personal information, please contact an oversighter and do not report it here. Discuss less-serious violations with the user on their talk page so that they can rename or abandon their account in good faith. Templates such as {{Uw-username}} or {{Uw-coi-username}} may be used. If, after discussion with a user, the problem still seems unresolved, a username request for comment may be in order. Do not leave a username warning on a user's talk page and also immediately report them here. Do one or the other, and not both simultaneously. Patrollers are asked to remove reports that have been declined, are bot-reported false positives or are otherwise non-blatant or stale reports. You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Note: Patrollers may wish to monitor usernames flagged by filters 54, 148 and 149; private filters 102, 354, 499, 579; and this recent changes filter tag.

  Being discussed with the user. (See #6 of the UAA instructions in the orange box above.) Since their edit wasn't spammy, we can wait to see if and how they respond first. DanCherek (talk) 03:35, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

  They've not promoted anything with that name? Secretlondon (talk) 09:10, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

• Deeproutepress (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. Obvious role account Deeproute likely meaning Deeproute.ai and press meaning communications office. Since public relations role accounts are often created, then only used to push what they want, this account should be locked. . Graywalls (talk) 08:34, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

  • Stale: This account has not been used in the last 2–3 weeks. Secretlondon (talk) 09:09, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

    @Secretlondon:, I'm aware. Look at how long it took before it made their first edit after the account was created. It's rather common for public relations effort to create a role account only to get used for when they need to do PR edits. Graywalls (talk) 15:19, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

• Wyatt sicks (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. A username that relates to a group of characters in WWE. w^{L<speak·check>} 09:37, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

  The article on Wyatt Family makes it sound like a former grouping (so why would someone be promoting it?) but an article on a member says that it exists under this name, so presumably the Wyatt Family article needs updating. Regardless that's spending 10 minutes of my time on professional wrestling I'll never get back. Maybe this is just a fan? Is the uncle thing on their user page in kayfabe?
