KOKU ADOMDZA

As indicated in the deletion log, I have deleted the page as a promotional under the speedy deletion criterion WP:CSD#G11. It cited no references, and was filled with promotional language like "world's leading pioneer". (In addition, I suspect that the content may have been copied from an outside source, which would go against the Wikipedia copyright policies.) If you disagree with the deletion, you can challenge it at deletion review. (By the way, the proper page title would be Koku Adomza - page titles are case-sensitive. Likewise, it is considered bad form to type in all-caps, as it is seen as an equivalent of shouting.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 19:04, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

• I take back the comment about the lack of references; I must have misremembered. The all-caps title wasn't the reason for deletion (if I saw the page as otherwise appropriate for Wikipedia, I would have simply moved it); however, it was what brought it to my attention at the new page log. Regarding the actual reasons for deletion: first, given your style of comments on my talk page, I doubt that you are the actual author of the submitted article. (The reference list is also suspicious: the incomplete links and words like "Cached" suggest that it has been copy-and-pasted from search engine results.) Second, it wasn't written in an appropriate style for Wikipedia. All Wikipedia articles are to be written in a neutral, factual manner (see the policy of neutrality); your article clearly wasn't, to an extent that I believe it meets the speedy deletion criterion I already linked. (The specific problem I mentioned in my previous comment was the promotional language, or what is sometimes referred to as "peacock terms"; see the relevant entry at the manual of style. You should have a look at the rest of manual of style, too.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 20:00, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
• I emphatically didn't take back my opinion that the article had met the speedy deletion criteria; had I changed my mind on that point, I would have restored it. As for copyright, I still don't believe that you are the original writer of the text, given the quality of your English language as compared to the article.
  Regarding the actual contents of the article, the exact problem was that the page wasn't written in a neutral and factual manner. In fact the style guideline I have linked for you demonstrates the difference: "Bob Dylan is the defining figure of the 1960s counterculture and the greatest songwriter of all time" is a statement of opinion, inappropriate in a Wikipedia article; "Bob Dylan was included in Time's 100: The Most Important People of the Century, where he was called 'master poet, caustic social critic and intrepid, guiding spirit of the counterculture generation'. By the mid-1970s, his songs had already been covered by hundreds of other artists" is an encyclopedic statement of fact.
  So what should you do now? I consider the article to be unsalvageable, and won't restore it (if you disagree with my judgement, feel free to challenge it at deletion review). If Wikipedia is to have an article about Koku Adomza, then I recommend you to start it again from the scratch (preferably as a user space draft, e.g. User:Dunamispower/Koku Adomza), and to stick to the facts in the writing. If you need further advice on the article, you can ask for help by adding {{helpme}} to your talk page, or at Wikipedia:Editor assistance/Requests. (If you need the text of the deleted article and didn't save it, just e-mail me and I'll send it to you. I have my e-mail address displayed on my user page, though in an obfuscated manner - "remove-to-reply" is not a part of my e-mail.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 22:01, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Username Unblock Request

I don't see a conflict of interest either; I'll notify the blocking administrator; if he agrees, or if we get another one or two admins here who agree, we can unblock you. Magog the Ogre (talk) 03:37, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

I am in agreement with Magog the Ogre here. The only references I can find about "Dunamis Power" is concerned with Christianity - which the deleted article was not (see, for example, Dunamis Men of Dynamite Power). I'm assuming that the blocking admin thought that the name "Dunamis Power" was the name of a power company! -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 08:32, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

I was specifically referring to http://www.dunamispower.com/ a website advertising a promotional speaker. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:32, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
