Your submission at Articles for creation: Prime Ministers (Band) (January 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Not satisfying our basic standards and there's no automatic inherited notability from anything or anyone.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Remove all external links from body.Article looks promotional.Also, the citations do not justify why they pass the notability criterion.

On an unrelated note, you may want to re-consider the claim you made tonight on IRC about not working for the band. I have ample evidence (which I won't publish since I don't want to out you) of who you are, and I do not think that claim was correct. Since you thus also violated the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use regarding undisclosed paid editing, I'd be fully justified in simply blocking you from making any further edits. See also WP:PAID. Huon (talk) 01:39, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked from editing

Since you did not disclose your connection with the band but persisted in the at best deliberately misleading "friend of a friend" claims, I have blocked this account indefinitely from editing. You are welcome to appeal the block by adding the code {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} to this page. I'll privately supply the information confirming your connection to the band to any admin who wants to take a look at the evidence in the course of evaluating an unblock request. Huon (talk) 00:22, 9 February 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).

Your reason here GROOVEGURUS (talk) 13:55, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

As per my comments below. Yamla (talk) 14:27, 9 February 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.

Hello, i am currently working for the band's music label (www.Space52.com) as a consultant. I would greatly appreciate it if you would unblock this account. I have been helping out their label head with the wiki page translation, i was referred to this person by a friend, i apologize if i wasn't stating this clearly. I am happy to privately provide an email address to the head of that label, should you wish to verify. Thank you for your consideration.

That's totally inappropriate. See WP:PROMO, WP:COI, and in particular, WP:PAID. --Yamla (talk) 14:27, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And for the record, I don't think even this is a full disclosure. Huon (talk) 19:26, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Huon, what more information would you need from me? This is pretty much all the pertinent information i can think to offer you, since i was asked to help with the project in the last 2 weeks.

As I said, I have ample evidence of who you are, and I've read what function the band says you perform for them. That's not "consultant", much less "asked to help with the project in the last 2 weeks" or "referred to this person by a friend". Remember your uploads to the Wikimedia Commons where you took personal credit for images like File:Prime Ministers Photo, 2017.jpg, much older than two weeks and used on the label's Facebook page (also much earlier than two weeks ago). That's not the full extent of the evidence I hhave found, but it already shows your claims are at best inconsistent. Huon (talk) 18:31, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
