Your username

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created User:Stereoids, and I noticed that your username, "Stereoids", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a change of username, by completing this form, that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 14:37, 11 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

 

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Stereoids, 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 can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: Click here to contest this speedy deletion which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 331dot (talk) 14:45, 11 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Contested deletion

edit

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... We are fulfilling all requirements for having a wikipedia entry in the english and german encyclopedia since we have worked with national and international artists, won a gold award, sold morte than 150.000 units, were featured on several no. 1 albums in germany and are now working with artists from the united states. It is necessary people from the states can get an impression by a wikipedia entry. Thanks for not deleting this serious entry. Dominic--Stereoids (talk) 14:48, 11 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Please note that your userpage is not article space(which is why it has "User:" in the title) It could be moved to article space, but since you are affiliated with this band and have a conflict of interest, I would suggest you submit this through Articles for Creation where it can be reviewed before posting. I would first suggest, though, that you change your username; usernames cannot be that of a group per the username policy(please see my post at the top for instructions on how to change it, there is no need to start over). 331dot (talk) 14:54, 11 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
