Phase Five article[edit]

Thanks for creating this article. There were some problems with it I've fixed:

You can't include promotional content on Wikipedia. This is a decent Wikipedia article, what you wrote is a press release. Seriously, you're lucky I didn't just mark your article for immediate deletion. Any further addition of content like that and I will.
Your username is a problem since it implies that you work for or are the group, and that kind of username isn't allowed on Wikipedia. I'm about to add below this some automated text which explains this.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Blythwood (talk) 22:45, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Messages about editing[edit]

Hello, Phasefive. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Phase Five, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Phase Five, and I noticed that your username, "Phasefive", 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.

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

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.

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.

Please note that Wikipedia has a very distinct policy on editing with a conflict of interest, and that all articles must be presented from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not to be used for promotion, but for factual coverage of notable subjects. If your sole purpose here is to promote your band, then I'm afraid Wikipedia is not for you; if you are willing to work within the policies and guidelines to help steer an article on a notable subject (the band does appear to be potentially notable by Wikipedia's definition of notability) then please submit a change-of-username request so that moving forwards that can be done. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:06, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion about Phase Five[edit]

Hello, Phasefive,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Phase Five should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phase Five .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, Blythwood (talk) 23:11, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Phase Five[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 Phase Five requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.
