Speedy deletion nomination of 2023 Ballon d’Or

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as 2023 Ballon d’Or, is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

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. Fram (talk) 17:04, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

The stated reason for the block is sock puppetry, but you do not discuss this in your request. 331dot (talk) 09:36, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:

If Sockpuppetry means me making too much accounts which is what I understood from that, it’s not just me making the accounts I have friends on the same IP aswell. I will not do this again I just thought I was making sandbox articles. BallonDORfooty (talk) 09:53, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

This does not come close to addressing the sockpuppetry, I'm afraid. See WP:SOCK and WP:UNBAN. You should make the request from your original account. Yamla (talk) 11:13, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
