The article CandyWare has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No assertion that anyone but Martin Bestawros has ever released anything under such a license; fails WP:GNG.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Martin Bestawros

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
A tag has been placed on Martin Bestawros requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you can assert the importance of the subject, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. NereusAJ (talk) 04:07, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Request reason:
I have been blocked by Reaper Eternal for the following reason(s): Deliberately triggering the Edit filter. I just made an account yesterday and kept getting this error. I did not do it DELIBERATELY and I didn't no it was a crime! please reconsiderRmartin271 (talk) 17:12, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Accept reason:
I'm terribly sorry about this. I must have accidentally looked at the wrong edit filter log entry somehow. I thought you were trying to post "poop" vandalism to an article. Again, I'm sorry about this, and I have unblocked you. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:04, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- I think Reaper was a little overzealous with the block, however I would suggest you read Wikipedia:Notability (people). Simply put, Wikipedia describes a notable subject, not makes one notable. —Jeremy v^_^v Components:V S M 17:37, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Block message:
Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Rmartin271". The reason given for Rmartin271's block is: "Deliberately triggering the Edit filter".
- Blocking administrator: Reaper Eternal (talk • blocks)
Decline reason: You have an open and active unblock request already above - one at a time, and as you're blocked directly, the above is the correct one to use (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 10:07, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- You are directly blocked. The only unblock request on this page should be the one above, since undoing the autoblock won't help you in the slightest. —Jeremy v^_^v Components:V S M 00:04, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello Rmartin271. I noticed you, or another editor created a Requests for Adminship page under your name, and I was wondering as to what the status of that request might be. Please note that new users are rarely successful at RfA and that the Wikipedia editing community sets an extremely high bar for potential administrator candidates. That being said, I strongly urge you to read Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship, Wikipedia:Adminship is not for new users, and Wikipedia:Not now, and ask you to reconsider whether you really do wish to go through with your candidacy; please understand that you stand very little to no chance of passing RfA at this point and that you are strongly discouraged from running for adminship. If you are still intent on running for adminship with that request and are absolutely positive this is what you want, please do let me know; otherwise, I'll go ahead and delete the RfA page for you in about a week or so from today. Eagles 24/7 (C) 20:37, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- I was wondering the same thing, as well. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 22:57, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
