Proposed deletion of Urban pop culture

edit
 

The article Urban pop culture has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Wikipedia is not for dictionary definitions.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of MVB Records

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on MVB Records, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the 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 visit the page's talk 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 render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:51, 18 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Where is the vandalism? What attack? Can someone help me understand whats going on? It seems I'm the one being attacked. Jamrahkid 02:45, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Perhaps the wrong reason was chosen from the pull-down menu, but this block is legitimate. You created one article that was a completely unsourced essay on topics we already have articles on, and another on a record label that might be notable. Then you got all querulous when they were deleted per the notices you had been given. And you kept doing this after getting warnings to stop. — Daniel Case (talk) 05:15, 19 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Thank you for responding Daniel. The notice I was given for my article on "Urban pop culture" was that Wikipedia is not a dictionary, so I completely changed the reading format of the article . The notice I received for my "MVB Records" article was about unambiguous advertising, so I completely rewrote the article paying close attention to other record label articles on Wikipedia. The only information I kept from the previous article I wrote mentioned current activity of the label. I recently took a survey for Wikipedia and ironically a question asked specifically about this situation; if an article I created was to be deleted, and I was given the reason so I could better rewrite the article, would I be upset? My answer was a whopping no. I like the premiss that Wikipedia stands on, and I would not jeopardize my account by blatantly disregarding Wiki's policies. This has been a horrible experience for me. Thank you for your time. Jamrahkid 17:17, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

After 12 days you have not responded to the message below. I am declining this request for now, to safe administrators from wasting time coming back to check it. Please feel welcome to post another unblock request when you have responded to the questions below. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:43, 31 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry that you've had a negative experience so far at Wikipedia. I wasn't able to tell clearly by reading this request: have you read the guidelines for creating new articles now? Do you have a clearer understanding of what subjects are useful for new articles, so you won't trip over any other rules in the future? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:17, 19 December 2011 (UTC)Reply


I too am sorry that you have had such a negative initial experience, and I do hope that you can move forward from it and have a better experience here from now on. I have unblocked other editors who have had a similar bad start, and some of them have gone on to make very useful contributions to Wikipedia, so I am certainly willing to consider doing the same for you. However, I do have one or two concerns, and, to help me decide, perhaps, as well as answering FisherQueen's questions, you can comment on this edit, in which you removed another user's talk page comment. On the face of it, that looks like simply trying to suppress a comment you didn't like, but perhaps you have a better explanation. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:38, 29 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
