Dear all,

I have problem that I don't understand. Some years ago I think my user was been locked because it was not a proper username according to Wikipedia's criteria. Then I have changed the username and now it seems ok, but I have still a problem in the Wikipedia portal on the Italian language. It seems that there my user is locked because of lock action of some years ago, even if the username has been changed. Could you tell me why or help me in some ways? In this way I can't write any article. I have also asked to an administrator but I didn't receive answers. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pam955 (talk • contribs) 14:20, 10 June 2015 (UTC) Pam955 (talk) 12:34, 11 June 2015 (UTC)Pam955

@Pam955: This isn't the right page for your request. You should ask Xeno, who changed your username, to investigate. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:02, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

wiki, my name is Jason Adelman and I was alerted by my business managers my Wikipedia was deleted after over a decade of it being published. I have been an actor, for decades starring in movies such as the Talisman, Must Be The Music (which won several awards), Uncle Sam (a cult hit) as well as recurring roles on network shows such as American Dreams where I co starred, S Club 7 in LA where I Guest Starred, The Client (guest starred) to name a few. I starred in one of the most watched and award winning videos Daniel Powters "bad day", co starred in The Back to the Future Trilogy with Kirk Cameron, co starred in the Gift with Laura Dern and Mary Steinbrgen, etc.. Last week my managers saw the wiki up for deletion due to sources not being cited so they cited all things. Then your editors stated my claim to fame was being engaged to Karina Smirnoff (which was recent and I had a tenure of credits on Wikipedia well before that so why would this hurt me only add to my notoriety). Finally , they stated ok I fixed everything but my team cannot source. Well if that was the original issue why can't they so we can adhere to the initial alert? As of a couple days ago the wiki page was sourced and compete. I have acted in more things than the majority of actors on Wikipedia so why is my recent articles in people and tmz and Us Weekly which state I'm an actor hinder my page versus help my notoriety? I am pleading with you to reinstate my Wikipedia page as it was a few days ago as everything was sourced. Right now it stands as being deleted which is not right as I put my heart and soul in acting and have been on your wonderful site for over a decade (not to mention the bachelor is considering me on their show and reinstatement of the page could only help). Please reinstate assp and if there any concerns I would be more than happy to address them , although I believe I have already. I put my life in this industry and would mean a lot to get this back up assp l. I look forward to your response. Thanks again!! Jason Adelman . Robot19332 (talk) 22:09, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

• Robot19332, if you want to have the article restored then you need to show where you have received coverage in independent and reliable sources. The major claim was that ultimately you have not received coverage for anything other than your relationship with Smirnoff. I remember looking for sources for this and I was unable to find anything. As far as starring in various things, that isn't entirely something that would guarantee notability since you'd have to show where your role in these films/shows/videos received mention in reliable sources like newspapers and the like. Most of what I saw was in passing and most of your roles looked to be minor roles that never gained much attention anywhere, if any. Tabloid coverage (TMZ, US Weekly) isn't the type of coverage that would be considered reliable on Wikipedia, so you'd have to use something else. As far as the article helping your career, that's not a reason to restore either since Wikipedia is not supposed to be used to bolster a career. However that said, if you can show where you've received coverage then you might be able to overturn the AfD consensus. This also needs to be posted on the main page starting here. I'll give you fair warning: you will not be successful unless you show coverage in reliable sources. Making a plea based on emotions like you have here and on Davewild's talk page isn't going to cut it. I know that sounds cold, but all articles must have notability that has been shown through coverage in independent and reliable sources. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:45, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Let me try this avenue as I may be replying to the wrong place: here are some sources to show why I have been a member of Wikipedia for over a decade Imdb shows a list of my resumehttp://m.imdb.com/name/nm0011834/ Variety magazine shows my substantial role in a movie with academy award nominees Laura seen, mary Steenburgen, claire forina https://books.google.com/books?id=PS1g1rnX7rsC&pg=PR399&lpg=PR399&dq=jason+adelman+variety&source=bl&ots=0nc35TfxL5&sig=gkjZ7iW6XHld2_9uvjnAGojeI00&hl=en&sa=X&ei=-a-KVc7yLpGvogSmjqK4CA&ved=0CEMQ6AEwCg#v=onepage&q=jason%20adelman%20variety&f=false Here's another variety article about my pivotal role playing JENNY garths brother who was killed in Danielle Steels Star http://variety.com/1993/tv/reviews/danielle-steel-s-star-1200433306/ Here's more credits on celebrity net worth http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/actors/jason-adelman-net-worth/ Here is Wikipedia sown credit on one of the most viewed videos in the 2000's Bad Day where I starred in it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Day_(Daniel_Powter_song) Here's articles from people and Us about my engagement and me being an actor with Karina Smirnoff http://m.imdb.com/name/nm0011834/news If you can see on my imdb page I was a recurring co star in American Dreams , an NBC show, was in the Client , guest star;where the show revolved about James Cromwell murdering me; guest starred in S Club 7 in La the list goes on.finally I starred in an independent film winning awards and acclaimed reviews "must be the music" and cult movies like Carnasour , Uncle Sam , etc..

The Wikipedia does not exist to be an arm of your PR/marketing goals, I'm afraid. IMDB, Linkedin and social media sites are more suited for that sort of thing. This is an encyclopedia, one whose rules and guidelines change over time, and have become more conservative in terms of what it keeps and what it deletes, so something that may have been ok in 2005 may be not-ok in 2015. Notability is Wp:NOTINHERITED from more famous people you may be attached po, so anything that name-drops you in the context of this Karina Smirnoff is a non-starter. As for the acting roles, I think there's a bit of exaggeration going on here, e.g. the pivotal role playing JENNY garths brother in Danielle Steel's Star, where the IMDB page shows you 20th (out of 24) in the billing. Unless there are genuine reliable sources that are actually about you and in-depth...not 20th billings, not name-drops, not "look who so-and-so just got enraged to" that is actually covering that person, a Jason Adelman article will be deleted, swiftly.
