Proposed deletion of Ryan Hurst (UK)

The article Ryan Hurst (UK) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. reddogsix (talk) 15:20, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. This is mainly because the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia's content policy, but in addition it is clear from both your editing and your username that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. If you would like to have a personal account in order to make useful contributions about some topic other than your organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of this page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:

Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below.

Before making any unblock request, you should read the guide to appealing blocks. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:50, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I believe I have been unfairly blocked. I am a first time editor on Wikipedia and don't understand the reasoning given for my block, can you please clarify? I was creating a page for a UK actor with a 30 year career in the industry, he is currently working on a number of projects that will see him propelled into the spotlight, so wanted to be the first to create a page for him (I have always admired his work). I was given the reasons for the block were self promotion - I am unclear how supporting an actor as a fan is self promotion, and my username - which is a reference to Freud's structural model of the psyche. Can you clarify this? I am very curious as to why JamesBWatson has the monopoly on using a pseudonym, I am unable to contact him directly as his mail is closed due to trolling, he advises to post on his page, but as I am blocked for editing it is not possible to do this. My page did not have citations and sources yet (I mistakenly SAVED before adding them) and was in the process when I was blocked, I had 14 in total. I had spent ages on this page (I am not very computer literate) and have been disheartened from being a contributor in the future.

Decline reason:

Your username suggests that this account belongs to dasEsArts PRODUCTIONS, a production company of which Ryan Hurst is the Artistic Director. Wikipedia does not allow shared or "company" accouts; see WP:CORPNAME for the relevant part of the username policy. You're welcome to use a pseudonym, but not one that suggests the account is used jointly by multiple people. Huon (talk) 21:22, 4 June 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.

You can't write on JamesBWatson's talk page, but you can WP:ping him (I am pinging him now: @JamesBWatson:). Vanjagenije (talk) 20:23, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It would appear from this Twitter link that dasEsArts is Ryan Hurst's outfit. Favonian (talk) 20:49, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

GriffinKemp97 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

@JamesBWatson: @Favion: @Huon: Hi all, please accept my apologies, the last thing I want to do is commit any Wikipedia faux pas. Can someone please help me, or advise me. As I explained in my original unblock request, I am a fan of Ryan Hurst (UK), and am surprised no one has tried to do this before - although I am finding it difficult, so this could be the reason. I was creating a page for a UK actor with a 30 year career in the industry, he is currently working on a number of projects that will see him propelled into the spotlight, so wanted to be the first to create a page for him (I have always admired his work). He does run a guerrilla theatre company (called dasEsArts PRODUCTIONS)specialising in Invisible Theatre, this is theatre that is unadvertised and unbeknownst to audiences they are even watching it, it is a social experiment. It is because I am a fan of him and his work that I chose the username and gmail of dasesarts, I am in no way affiliated with his company, nor do I wish to get him or his work any negative response. I know understand Wikipedia does not allow shared or "company" accounts, and that this is how it may appear. Can you please try to help me move forward? How can I create an article about this actor? Is it as simple as changing my username? Thanks in advance.

Accept reason:

I have unblocked your account. However, your current user name is unacceptable, as it gives the misleading impression that you are editing on behalf of a company that you tell us you are not connected to. Therefore, you must not continue to edit under this user name, but you should request a change of user. To see how to do that, please read Wikipedia:Changing username. (By the way, nowhere did I say that you were blocked for "self promotion".) The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 09:07, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Favion:@Huon:@JamesBWatson: Thanks for the help and for unblocking. I will change username immediately. (By the way, blocked for "self promotion" , is what came up in the warning box. No worries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.97.231.201 (talk • contribs) 13:30, 5 June 2017‎

Are you sure? It should have said "Using Wikipedia for promotion, and username policy violation", with no mention of "self promotion". I have checked by logging into an account which was blocked with exactly the same block that I gave you, and sure enough there was no mention of the word "self" in the resulting notice. I can't imagine any reason why the software would have inserted that word into a notice relating to a block where there was no use of the word in the block log reason, let alone any reason why it would do it for your account and not for another one with an identical block.

Speedy deletion nomination of Ryan Hurst (UK)

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

A tag has been placed on Ryan Hurst (UK) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

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.
