Requested username:

new username (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Hello! I saw the reason for my decline to unblock was due to the fact that I hadn't changed my username. As I said in my username change request, I spent the greater portion of the day studying Wikipedia, and realize all of my errors. My last name was misleading, and that simply was not my intention. I'm just trying to get information out there, and there is a huge learning curb! Apologies for not taking the time to fully understand now this community works to begin with, but I do hope I'm given the opportunity to help expand on my offerings to Wikipedia, should my block be lifted. In no way would I have intentionally broken the guidelines of Wikipedia. Nora5516 (talk) 04:42, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

Accept reason:

New name looks fine, so I have unblocked. Welcome back. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:46, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

This page does not represent a group, organization, or website, nor does it edit or create for promotional gains, and therefore, does not interfere with the conflict of interest policy. Its purpose was to create pages for coaches who have a high public interest, that currently don't exist. I can understand the constant flagging, however, Wikipedia is vast, and there's a learning curve. When a freelancer suggests a page, that freelancer is a sportswriter looking for an easy resource, however, this is not an organization. MediaMGT (talk) 18:10, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Procedural decline; you have not picked a new username. Yamla (talk) 19:47, 20 March 2017 (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.

Thank you, Domdeparis for your notes. The article does meet the scope of WP:Gridiron, and is not a vanity page. MediaMGT is in the process of procuring information on additional coaches to create pages, however, even we realize a person has to have a career worth presenting via Wiki. Admittedly, this was the first Wikipedia page our team of freelancers created (who are in sports media at some capacity), and we initially created an account for Mr. Whitt to give autonomy. The outcome provided a teachable moment, and we moved forward with more thoroughly researched approach.

You mention that the sources don't mention him, or mention him in passing, however, we have offered strong evidence that the work of Mr. Whitt satisfactorily meets the interest of the general public through the links we have provided, and will continue to provide. We ask anyone considering to vote on deletion to please reconsider, as more evidence supporting Mr. Whitt's validity is forthcoming, as are pages of additional coaches whose work meets Wikipedia guidelines, and public interest. Mr. Whitt is a highly discussed person of interest in the subject of American Football, and this page provides a significant value to the football community.

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.

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. Thank you.
