How to remove my juvenile work from IMSLP

[jordanmholloway]

Hello,

Ten years ago, when I was 15, I created an IMSLP page (https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Holloway,_Jordan_Murray) and submitted 24 pieces. The pieces are very very bad, but I thought it was very cool to have my music on the internet, so I posted away without realizing the seemingly irreversible nature of such a thing.

I would really like to contribute to IMSLP, I have a bunch of arrangements and editions of works (and my own pieces, which have very much improved) that I would really like to submit, but I just can't bring myself to add them to the same page that hosts a piece called "Have My Saliva is a Thing That Gnarlferd Lincoln Said".

Is there any way I can make these pieces go away so that I can post more recent stuff to my page? I thought of maybe replacing the files and changing all of the info for each piece, but I think that wouldn't really work as well as I think and also probably wouldn't be cool with the admins.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

If you submitted your works when you were under 18, we can remove any compositions that you created during that time at your request. Once you submitted a work that was created 18 years old and later the files stay on here permanently.

You will need to mark which pages you want to have removed if they were composed before 18 years old then in "Edit" on each workpage using the Delete template up top.

The only thing is if all of them you want removed from your category page, I would recommend uploading at least one new work in order to avoid having your category page deleted.

Fantastic, I've just done as you've said with all of my old pieces and uploaded one new one. Thanks so much for your help!

One follow-up on this; it looks like my category page was protected on December 7th, 2014, because I was using the upload tool improperly. Is there any way I can appeal to have that reversed so that I can have the option to add to/edit my category page?

Ok I removed the block.
