Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names
Navigation: Archives • Instructions for closing administrators • |
This page is for bringing attention to usernames which may be in violation of Wikipedia's username policy. Before listing a username here, consider if it should be more appropriately reported elsewhere, or if it needs to be reported at all:
- Report blatantly inappropriate usernames, such as usernames that are obscene or inflammatory, to Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention.
- For other cases involving vandalism, personal attacks or other urgent issues, try Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents; blatant vandalism can also be reported at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, which is sometimes a better option.
Do NOT post here if:
- the user in question has made no recent edits.
- you wish to have the block of a user reviewed. Instead, discuss the block with the blocking administrator (see also Wikipedia:Blocking policy § Unblocking).
Before adding a name here you MUST ensure that the user in question:
- has been warned about their username (with e.g. {{subst:uw-username}}) and has been allowed time to address the concern on their user talk page.
- has disagreed with the concern, refused to change their username and/or continued to edit without replying to the warning.
- is not already blocked.
If, after having followed all the steps above, you still believe the username violates Wikipedia's username policy, you may list it here with an explanation of which part of the username policy you think has been violated. After posting, please alert the user of the discussion (with e.g. {{subst:UsernameDiscussion}}). You may also invite others who have expressed concern about the username to comment on the discussion by use of this template.
Add new requests below, using the syntax {{subst:rfcn1|username|2=reason ~~~~}}.

Lloyd Bank$ (talk · contribs)
This kind, considerate user vandalized my user page. I left a message on their talk page a week or so, warning them about vandalism. I've just noticed that this username is that of a rapper, Lloyd Banks. What should be done about this user? Acalamari 21:49, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Disallow - should be done about that user. The Behnam 21:50, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Disallow - per WP:U. Too close to Lloyd Banks & vandalism-only account anyway - Alison☺ 21:52, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Disallow - this is more than obvious. Enough to be speedied (again). NikoSilver 21:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Disallow based only on WP:U. --Kukini hablame aqui 23:16, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Disallow as deceptively similar to a public figure, unless the user can prove that's they are in fact the public figure. Philippe Beaudette 23:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy Disallow eh oh yeah - not to mention the risk of phishing attacks!!! Cheers Lethaniol 00:05, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
