Your submission at Articles for creation: Esmond Million (band) (December 15)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by SK2242 were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Esmond Million (band) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Esmond Million (band), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Esmond Million! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

December 2020

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.

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).

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

Request reason:

Insert your reason to be unblocked here Esmond Million (talk) 18:29, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You haven't indicated why you should be unblocked. Further, please understand that Wikipedia is not a means of promoting your band. We have standards for inclusion of articles about musical groups located at WP:BAND. The draft you created does not show any signs of approaching that standard, nor have you included any citations to reliable sources that might indicate a reason that we would include this article in the project. You also need to read our conflict of interest guideline. Lastly, your username implies shared use, which is not an acceptable username here. Please address these concerns in any future unblock request. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 18:42, 19 December 2020 (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.

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).

Request reason:

Your reason here Hi Hammersoft, Thank you for taking the time to clarify things for me and apologies for not knowing how to use wikipedia correctly, both in the writing of the page and in my first 'unblock' request which I didn't see I had to fill in. I would really like the chance to have another go at writing a page for Esmond Million. I understand what you mean about my first effort reading like an advertisement. I would keep any future content purely factual and would be happy for someone to review it before publishing. The band are as yet unsigned and only formed in November 2020, so there is no corroborative referencing available yet. I look forward to hearing from you as to whether it will be possible to try again. Thanks again for your time on this. Esmond Million (talk) 10:49, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You have not proposed a new username. You also were told that your band does not meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable band, and you concede there are no independent reliable sources that discuss it, yet you say you will edit about it and thus continue to violate WP:COI. Wikipedia is not a place for you to tell the world about your band, that's what social media is for. As you are not heeding our advice, there are no grounds to remove the block, and as such I am declining your request. You will likely only get one more on this page. 331dot (talk) 11:53, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Esmond Million (band)

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted.
