- Reason: COI has been identified as username was created that seems like it applies to a group of people and not to an individual. This is somewhat true. Change must happen in order for steps to be taken to move created article to Organizations WikiProject. Consultation and advice provided to Palladiainc has been provided by other users and administrators, and has been taken to heart. New account will not be used to edit the one article but will be used to contribute and edit similar articles/articles about similar things, as well as within the WikiProject. COI and implications therein are understood. No abuse of Wiki rules intended. Misericordia? Palladiainc (talk) 21:27, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Please note that returning after exercising courtesy vanishing may be met with automatic relinking of the new account with the old one. If you are just interested in retiring, an extended vacation, or are considering a clean start in the future, placing {{retired}} on your user and/or talk page(s) and abandoning the account is the better option. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 15:59, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

- Datestamp: 09:44, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
- Reason: I have been advised I can't edit under the current name since all my edits will be look into as biased. We can all hide behind usernames. That doesn't mean that musicians, actors or others aren't editing their own pages behind elaborate usernames. The information that I entered was genuine however I understand your policies and guidelines and the necessity of a neutral point of view. Nonetheless, after cleaning the page and leaving only the necessary details to make it relevant yet neutral, I find the same template over and over again in the page, which results in me thinking, well I can't go much further with a name like "kaykamusic". I guess it wouldn't be suitable for editing anything that has to do with music, which is a shame given my broad knowledge of the subject. I won't be contributing again. Thanks.
