Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reno R. Rolle

edit

Hello, if you are willing to write a detailed report about who contacted you offering "protection", then I expect it would be helpful in preventing this kind of abuse. You'd have to send it through email since private information such as IP addresses should not be discussed publicly on Wikipedia. I am still looking into where the best place would be for you to send it -- whether the arbitration committee, or WMF, or elsewhere. I'll get back to you on that. In the meantime, you could focus on making your report as concise as possible (volunteers are often repelled by walls of text) while giving specific evidence (IP addresses, headers, etc.).

In other news, you should be aware that your username violates the username policy, in particular WP:ORGNAME. You should request a name change as soon as possible, probably via the first option here.

Also, since you mentioned that you are employed by the subject of the article, take care to follow Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure and/or Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

And finally, I have some bad news. It doesn't appear the Rolle article meets the notability requirements for Wikipedia. It's truly unfortunate that this potential extortionist, for all the wrong reasons, happened to do the technically correct thing by submitting the AfD. You'll have some time before it gets resubmitted to AfD in case you can find more/better sources, but the prospects don't look good. I thought you should know.
