I moved this comment of yours here, because you asked for email, and I don't conduct Wikipedia business via email unless it involves privacy issues.

Hello I am Joey a manager at Forever17 Record Labels and I have heard that one of my artist Shabazz Sallier name has been banned from wiki! Fans tell me that you and your great site claimed that the page they have created was to much promotion, so I have a question for you if I give you guys information about my artist Shabazz Sallier can you unlock his name and add the information onto your site the best way you can without anything sounding like it's trying to promote my artist Shabazz Sallier because he deserves a page just like anyone else on this planet. Please let me know all of the options that I will have thanks so much Wikipedia I really appreciate it a lot you can always email at [email deleted] Joeysevenforever (talk) 22:50, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello @Joeysevenforever: Please understand that nobody "deserves a page just like anyone else on the planet". Wikipedia isn't a publicity medium, should never be used for that purpose, and has strict guidelines for inclusion of articles about people. If you just want a page, then please use Facebook.

WP:MUSICBIO describes criteria that a musician must meet before meriting an article on Wikipedia. And for an article (especially a biography article) to be accepted, it must meet the requirements summarized in Wikipedia:Golden rule.

The deleted article had been restored by request and resubmitted through Wikipedia:Articles for creation, but it was rejected as being promotional and having absolutely no reliable sources. Subsequently, the user who tried to improve it was banned for block evasion, and the draft article was deleted (users who evade a block have their contributions removed). Sending me similar material will not get an article created; if it isn't acceptable, it cannot be posted to article space.

You are welcome to go to Wikipedia:Articles for creation and try again. This is the only realistic venue for someone with a conflict of interest such as yourself. Bear in mind the criteria at WP:MUSICBIO for the artist, and Wikipedia:Golden rule for the article itself. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:17, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

Hello, Joeysevenforever. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:21, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
