The article Sonnenberger (surname) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No evidence of notability for the name, and not a good name disambiguation as it only contains redlinks

Discussion at Administrators' Noticeboard
[edit]I have started a discussion about your edits at WP:ANI#Similar issues with User:BrownDan101?. You are welcome to present your side of the facts there, as such a discussion may lead to blocks or other sanctions. Fram (talk) 08:04, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

[edit]You have been indefinitely blocked from editing in article space for disruptive editing. Specifically, you have created several hoax articles, probably using some form of AI. Please respond to these concerns at WP:ANI, and read the Guide to appealing blocks. Cullen328 (talk) 18:02, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
AI
[edit]FYI: AI Is not so much an OR issue as it is a WP:HOAX issue. The way an AI works is it just makes up whatever looks the most like what you ask it to make. It doesn't check whether what it produces is, you know, real. What we currently call AI isn't really capable of using logic, it's just a program that has become really really good at predicting what we expect a certain block of text to look like. So what you end up with is a perfectly-fine looking article with citations and coherent sentences and everything, but whether any of it is actually true or real is completely up to random chance. --Licks-rocks (talk) 19:59, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- That definitely makes sense. It 100% fooled me- all of the articles that it made looked very legit with good info. Maybe in the future it will get good enough to at least help us make articles. Thanks! BrownDan101 (talk) 20:09, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- (PS: I think a good way to score a point with us right now and make your being unblocked a bit more likely is by helping you go through your old edits. think pointing us to edits that you recall were AI-generated or pointing us to when you started doing it (Rather before than after that point, in case you're not entirely sure!!!😬😬), that kind of thing) --Licks-rocks (talk) 10:00, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- The times I used AI was to make the articles St. Ann’s Church, SS Chemnitz, Alfred University Football, Kaisertown, Sonnenberger (Surname), and Tino Mancabelli. All the other edits I’ve ever made have been pretty minor stuff that I did by myself like changing teams of players that either get traded or sign with a new team. Should I post this on the admin page? BrownDan101 (talk) 17:59, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- I definitely would. EDIT: I've taken the liberty of doing so on your behalf. I don't believe they had found Alfred University Football yet, so this is very helpful! ^_^ --Licks-rocks (talk) 14:22, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot I appreciate that and all the help so far!! BrownDan101 (talk) 17:18, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
I realize now that using AI to write articles is an extremely detrimental to what wikipedia is about. I can assure the community I will never make this mistake again. In the 11 months that I have had my account i have only made minor edits, so I was not too familiar with the guidelines. I have since reviewed them and now realize my actions were wrong, and would like to correct them in being a member of the community and making edits that are 100% correct and that help the site as a whole BrownDan101 (talk) 5:59 pm, 1 April 2023, last Saturday (4 days ago) (UTC−4)
