Your submission at Articles for creation: The Red River Ramblers (November 30)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I don't see anything notability of this band, please check WP:BAND.

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 after they have been resolved.

Blocked as a sockpuppet

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:Theredriverramblers per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Theredriverramblers. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Spicy (talk) 23:47, 5 December 2024 (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:

User Cullen328 has also questioned the accusations made by user Royiswariii. Royiswariii first denied the article based on their claim that the band was not notable. They cited the Wikipedia criteria for notability. Their own source clearly stated that the band did meet the criteria, having been nominated for a Juno award as traditional Indigenous artists. Royiswariii was not willing to admit their mistake, but instead doubled down and claimed that the article was not allowed because the band is alive. You can see this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Royiswariii#c-Royiswariii-20241201144300-JohnBrazeau-20241201142200 This is laziness, and ignorance, and now it has become a petty keyboard fight. What should matter is the contents of the article. I have written an article for this band. They know me because I work with a local charity that provides food and shelter to marginalized Indigenous people, for which they have donated to in the past to help the Indigenous community. That is the extent of our relationship, and I have written many articles and blogs in the past. This is why they have asked me to help them. I am not their manager, I am not receiving payment, I am just trying to help an Indigenous band establish a small part of Wikipedia of which they are fully entitled to based on their accomplishments. You are also not taking into consideration the importance of elders in our culture. There is no good reason why I shouldn't be able to write a basic and neutral article for this band. It is not an advertisements, the content of the article is neutral, and all facts. There is no subjective language, it literally just focuses on the events of the band, the facts, and their work and accomplishments. You can see Cullen328's questioning of the attack on myself and this band by Royiswariii and others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive_1242#c-Royiswariii-20241202012900-Draft:The_Red_River_Ramblers No one has provided constructive or valid criticism of the article. They have only blocked the article based on invalid claims and laziness. JohnBrazeau (talk) 00:50, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
the block is no longer necessary because you:
1. understand what you have been blocked for,
2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information.. Please also review WP:NOTTHEM before posting another appeal. Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:27, 8 December 2024 (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 there! Thank you for your unblock request. At present, you are not blocked because of your edits but rather due to being a sockpuppet. This occurs when one person illegitimately creates multiple accounts. Your editing and technical evidence connect you to users Dominicbois and Theredriverramblers, as shown at the relevant sockpuppet investigation. In your unblock request, you should address this charge. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:37, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
