A tag has been placed on Peaxman/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thanks for your contributions to Terry Waya. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability and it is promotional and reads like an advertisement. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Reading Beans (talk) 02:22, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
Okay I will work on the observations you raised and also tag other editors to contribute. Thank you.
Moving a draft to an article, then not liking something and moving it back to Draft is disruptive, and needs to stop. Either Waya is an article or it is not. What you created, however was biased in favour of Waya, a convicted criminal. This was absent from your article. This leads me to believe that you have an association with Waya. I am about to ask you a formal question, one that requires an answer. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:37, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello Peaxman. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Peaxman. The template ((Paid)) can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: ((paid|user=Peaxman|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName))
. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:38, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
I am interested in joining any ongoing learning projects on Wikipedia. It could be a joint creation or edit. I would also love to work with @ Joyous. Looking forward to your reply and suggestions 🥰 Peaxman (talk) 09:05, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Terry Waya until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Thanks for your contributions to The African Times USA. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because This lacks sourcing with significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. Please research sources diligently and write what they say in your own words. Do not embellish anything. No reference, no fact.. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Request reason:
Hello, I am completely shocked with what is going here. I think there is a mistake somewhere as I don't have any affiliation or connection with the User/Brill who I am alleged to be a sock puppet of. I am seeing that account for the first time and the account has been here two years ago. I joined Wikipedia August 2023. Two years ago, I didn't know anyone can be an editor in Wikipedia. I only read articles here during research. Kindly do a review to confirm. To be clear, I am not a sock puppet of User/Brill and I don't have multiple accounts. I only have this account with which I access Wikipedia and Wiki commons. Please check. Thank You. Peaxman (talk) 20:55, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
Decline reason:
We don't do checkuser investigations at the request of blocked sockpuppetry suspects since there's really no way to prove innocence through them. — Daniel Case (talk) 06:49, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
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.
Hi, kindly do an investigation and confirm. I want to state clearly that I am a sock puppet of UniBrill. I don't have any other account aside this which I learnt can be used at Wiki commons too. Just here on Wikipedia and then Wiki commons. I am barely two months here. With no idea of what I am being accused of. I am enjoying my sojourn here until this notification. Please kindly review. Thank you Peaxman (talk) 21:03, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi @Joyous!
I kindly need your guide as always. I logged to my account and found out that I had been blocked by @Spicy for being a sock puppet to a certain User/Brill. I checked out the meaning of sock puppetry and I am sure I didn't do that and neither do I have any connection with the User/Brill. I have only searched for articles to improve as you advised and worked on them even though I know I am still learning and have a long way to go. I don't have any multiple accounts as alleged. I only have this for Wikipedia and Wiki commons. Does this mean that my journey on this platform has ended ? Thanks and best regards. Peaxman (talk) 21:33, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
@Daniel Case How then can I prove my innocence in the case of allegations of being a socket puppet of a user I know nothing about. Are there any ways I can submit a photo ID or any account verification system on Wikipedia? Thanks Peaxman (talk) 07:02, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Peaxman. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "The African Times USA".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 06:51, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
