List of Windows Phone 8 devices (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (XfD|restore) Result contradicts consensus set by Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison of Android devices, and discussion did not contain enough viewpoints. Recommend a relisting with wider opinions from those involved with articles for other operating systems. ViperSnake151  Talk  23:40, 25 October 2014 (UTC) As closing admin, I will just say the consensus was unquestionably to keep and I endorse my own close. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison of Android devices doesn't matter. It isn't the same kind of article in any way, and we don't use precedence like courts do here. Even though it was the nom, that comparison wasn't considered in the tally, per WP:WAX. Dennis - 2¢ 23:54, 25 October 2014 (UTC) Endorse. A single AfD produces a consensus in respect of the article being discussed. No further. There is no overriding policy or guideline here that compelled the closing admin to set aside a very clear consensus to keep. Given the overwhelming consensus in that direction, and the near impossibility of reversing it with further discussion, a re-listing would be an unnecessary clogging-up of the daily AfD log. --Mkativerata (talk) 10:27, 26 October 2014 (UTC) Endorse - it's a list, with no policy reason for deletion, with a strong headcount in favour of keeping (and since listing is mostly content organisation, rather than inclusion/exclusion, headcount weighs more heavily). The nomination statement includes the demonstratably false assertion that it's an indiscriminate list, and then makes a couple of assertions that are essentially unrelated to the matter at hand - i.e., the only delete argument is based on a factually incorrect assertion. There's no way to close this as anything other than keep. WilyD 16:47, 27 October 2014 (UTC) Endorse. Most appropriate close by Dennis Brown, as explained above. The consensus was unanimous at the discussion, and the topic is educational and encyclopedic. — Cirt (talk) 03:31, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

File:PCAGlobalGenetic.gif (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (article|restore) Copyright permission given by author. Deleted with no discussion. Peasant in Suit (talk) 14:31, 25 October 2014 (UTC) The file wasn't uploaded on en wikipedia, but on wikipedia commons so admins here can't restore or see the image. As I've no idea what the permission said it's pretty difficult to tell. If it said "you can use this on wikipedia", then the deletion on Commons was fine, Commons only accepts free images i.e. those with broader licenses for everyone to use including for commercial purposes. En wikipedia has a similar policy, though in some circumstances fair use claims can be made. --86.2.216.5 (talk) 15:42, 25 October 2014 (UTC) Close I agree with 86. The file was speedy deleted on Commons as "copyright violation". To request its undeletion on Commons go to commons:COM:UR. Thincat (talk) 18:30, 25 October 2014 (UTC) Looks like the nominator has been blocked as a sock - [1] --86.2.216.5 (talk) 19:45, 25 October 2014 (UTC) Close as wrong forum The file was deleted by User:INeverCry on Commons. If the uploader disputes the deletion, the dispute should take place on Commons instead. --Stefan2 (talk) 00:09, 26 October 2014 (UTC) Close As a commons' admin I've just seen File:PCAGlobalGenetic.gif. It's absolutely clear. File is slolen from here. --Gruznov (talk) 09:21, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
