Speedy deletion nomination of User:Mosaicsband/sandbox[edit]

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Mosaicsband/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. — O Fortuna!^{Imperatrix mundi.} 15:19, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There have been two problems identified with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:

Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. So Why 15:22, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

holdtheonion (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I was only intending on adding the profile - with refs - of a band from San Francisco. I'm not sure exactly how that is advertising. I read your gudelines and I see other artists and bands everywhere - is it because there has to be more than one author/contributor for an artist to qualify as relevant to wiki and/or is it because I am not a regular contributor? OR was it simply because the username was the band name and that's an issue? I find Wiki to be really hard to understand as far as contributing. I also tried to do the email recovery but it never sent me an email. ThanksMosaicsband (talk) 18:05, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Decline reason:

If you honestly thought your contribution was objective and encyclopedic, and not outright marketing, I worry that you lack the competence required to edit Wikipedia. However, if you have no intention of writing about this band any more and instead, wish to edit other articles for which you have no problem with WP:COI and WP:PAID and WP:PROMO, you are welcome to let us know what sorts of edits you'd be making.
