Tosin Salako (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. Has declared that they are not Tosin Salako but are representing him professionally. They must change their user name. The only way to ensure this is a warning shot. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 21:04, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
The account is representing an artist by that name. We allow real names, but in this case it's their employer's/client's real name rather than their own. What do others think? Secretlondon (talk) 22:43, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
Well, WP:REALNAME states Do not edit under a name that is likely to imply that you are (or are related to) a specific, identifiable person, unless it is your real name. Think that's pretty clear. For example, what if Salako splits from this person. Who controls the account? — rsjaffe 🗣️ 22:51, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
On top of that, WP:REALNAME states: "If a username implies that the user is, or is related to, a notable, identifiable or well-known person, the account may be blocked as a precaution against impersonation until the user's proof of identity is provided." Anyone can claim to be a representative of a well-known person, so such a claim would also require proof to satisfy this portion of the policy. I'm holding off from immediately blocking due to the discussion initiated at User talk:Tosin Salako § Immediate action required, but the account should be blocked if its username is not changed to a policy-compliant one in a reasonable amount of time. — Newslinger talk 21:35, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
Should be blocked if they are not the named person(even if they are a representative). 331dot (talk) 09:10, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

Not a violation of the username policy. Stage names and pen names are permitted except when they imply that the editor is a specific living person they are not. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. — Newslinger talk 13:24, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
