    Usernames for administrator attention
    Shortcuts

    This page is intended for reports of usernames that are blatant and serious violations of the username policy requiring an immediate block. Reports will be assessed in accordance with the username policy, the UAA instructions, and the following bullet points. Please ensure you are familiar with the assessment criteria before making a report.

    1. Except in the instance of an egregious name violation, please do not report accounts with no edits or those who have not edited in the preceding 2 weeks.
    2. Real names are permitted, except when the editor implies they are someone other than themselves, such as impersonating a notable living person.
    3. Promotional names require evidence to be blocked. Do not report a username merely because it "appears" promotional.
    4. For libellous usernames or usernames that contain another editor's nonpublic personal information, please contact an oversighter and do not report it here.
    5. Discuss less-serious violations with the user on their talk page so that they can rename or abandon their account in good faith. Templates such as {{Uw-username}} or {{Uw-coi-username}} may be used. If, after discussion with a user, the problem still seems unresolved, a username request for comment may be in order.
    6. Do not leave a username warning on a user's talk page and also immediately report them here. Do one or the other, and not both simultaneously.
    7. Patrollers are asked to remove reports that have been declined, are bot-reported false positives or are otherwise non-blatant or stale reports.
    You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.
    Note: Patrollers may wish to monitor usernames flagged by filters 54, 148 and 149; private filters 102, 354, 499, 579; and this recent changes filter tag.

    User-reported[edit]

    The film is titled Oru Anveshanathinte Thudakkam, and it's a single-purpose account to create a "movie page" about it. Wikishovel (talk) 11:13, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes indeed. I should probably have written " ... unacceptable connection". Does this really come under WP:CORPNAME, "Usernames that unambiguously represent the name of a ... product"? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:22, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd say yes if I reported this though. It is pretty obvious. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:26, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It seems unambiguous to me, but YMMV. I'll defer to your judgment on this, and thanks for asking. Wikishovel (talk) 11:28, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    COI yes, but the name itself isn't promotional enough as you wouldn't know what oat stood for, unless you knew the name of the movie. Secretlondon (talk) 15:36, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not overtly promotional on its own, but I would say it definitely falls under CORPNAME as a role account. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 22:37, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
