Question on Article Deletion

I don't really understand how the article was anymore promotional than any other article of someone living that is on Wikipedia. I was actively editing the article when you deleted it so you didn't even delete it based on the final product. I want to recreate this page but Wikipedia says I need to talk to you first. Page in question was for Canadian entrepreneur, engineer, musician Andrew Forde. I am new to editing on Wikipedia and I just cannot figure out how to cite things fast enough before you guys keep deleting them. Atgrif --Atgrif (talk) 05:40, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

This is not housekeeping, nor non-controversial

Please restore the redirect at File:An Earthbound Misfit I.jpg and stop deleting it. The image was originally located there but was moved. It should remain a redirect for those looking for it at its old location. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 23:14, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Very well, I've adjusted the deletion log accordingly. Please refrain from recreating this redirect. The vast majority of users do not search for files using redirects. If someone is looking for this file under it's original title (highly unlikely considering that there are only 3 non-image links to the file), the current search extension will either find the new title or give the user a link to the deleted title, in which the move log entry of the image will be visible. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 00:40, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

No, the redirect should remain. The file was originally uploaded at that location. I will take this to ANI if I need to, unless you can provide some logical and reasonable reason for not providing a redirect. Why should readers have to filter through a deletion log? Completely rediculous. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 01:59, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Redirects Wikipedia:REDIRECT only parenthetically mentions one person talking about file redirects. I can't imagine the scenario whereby someone is searching for the old filename and can't find it, but I suppose stranger things have happened. I guess I don't really have a horse in this race, but I appreciate the notification. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 11:24, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

I think we have a duty to provide the redirect. But the question is, why delete it? So somebody else can upload a file under that meaningless poetic name only for it to be eventually filemoved? To keep things tidy? If its the latter than its unfortunate where priorities lie on wikipedia (deleting convenience redirects post-haste based on unwritten rules, but twiddling thumbs on the requirement for sourcing or the consistency of citations). - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 14:54, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

The Superhero in the Alley, G12

Hi. The contributor who tagged this article for speedy deletion dropped by my talk page to talk about copyright concerns with it. On investigation, I have restored it for processing through the copyright problems board. It isn't likely that the article was copied from the defunct site flagged: the earliest date on the website flagged is October 2010; our article predates that by 8 months. Moreover, in the first listing on that page, they acknowledge copying Wikipedia. It seems to have actually been copied from Wikia, which could be repaired with attribution (although it's far too long!), but I'll look into the matter further before restoring the content. If you find articles tagged for G12 that are not unambiguous, please just convert them to {{copyvio}} and list them at WP:CP. Thanks. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:39, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Sure thing, I'll keep that in mind. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 22:28, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of Harry Potter Returns to Hogwarts page

You deleted this page this morning using the reason that it was a hoax. I spent time explaining on the talk page of this article that the fact that it was a hoax was the whole point. I have a group of seventh graders who copy large slabs of information from the internet with no concern for its accuracy and submit this as their own work for assessments. I constructed this article to show them how easy it is to post inaccurate information on the internet. I explained all of this on the talk page and asked that the page be left until after the lesson, which is later today. Unfortunately, you did not read this explanation and have deleted my morning's preparation for that lesson. I also stipulated that I would happily delete the page myself following the lesson. Given my explanation and the imminent deletion of the page by my own hand, I do not see that it would have done anyone a great deal of harm in the 3 or so hours it would have existed.

Query on article deletion

Hi. I'm new as a Wikipedia editor. I registered a few days ago, soon after discovering that a valuable article that I had consulted previously had been deleted. The article is about a contemporary philosopher, Stephen Palmquist, who, in my opinion, is one of the leading experts on Kant’s philosophy. I located the deleted version, then read the Talk page that ended in the initial deletion decision. I then uploaded my significantly revised version, with numerous changes that I believe satisify all the requirements of Wikipedia's Notability rules, as I understand them. Can you please restore the deleted page, as it is not even close to being identical to the previously uploaded page? If Ozob or others wish to conduct a further discussion for deletion of this new page, that is fine. But as I understand Wikipedia's accepted procedures, my new page should not have been deleted without any discussion of the merits of its significant revisions! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dao4Andrej (talk • contribs) 08:17, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello Fastily, I would like to understand why the page IDIT I.D.I. Technologies was deleted. I was not the one who has created it (I don't know the username). The only thing I found out is that the reason for deletion was "non-notable company" and I would like to add the necessary reliable independent/third party sources and any other information that may be missing to reinstate the original page back in Wikipedia.

On your recent deletion of Hankuk Academy of Foreign Studies

Hello, Fastily! I was searching for Hankuk Academy of Foreign Studies today when I saw that you had deleted the article as a blatant hoax. Now from what I've seen of the article (which was several weeks ago), it was very ill-written, but I am certain the school is not a hoax - in fact, it's a very famous school in South Korea. This is the school website, and I've actually visited the place myself, and found it very much real. :P Having retired from Wikipedia for nearly a year, please forgive me if you had reasons for deleting it that I've missed. I would very much appreciate an explanation, though, as I'm rather confused. Thank you very much for your attention on this matter. Warmly, Clementina talk 11:23, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

File help

This file is from Getty images but whether it is under fair use for 'commentary' I am not sure of. I have tagged it for a dated speedy for no license. Matthew Thompson ^{talk to me bro!} 11:58, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) He's a living public figure, so getting a free picture of him would be easy enough. This wouldn't pass the fair use requirements. I suppose that licensing it and listing it at FfD would take just as long and result in the same outcome, and I wouldn't lie by creating a fair use rationale that I don't believe is valid, so I suppose that the status quo is fine here.

^{Superscript text}==coade caesar ii== Pls note that Caesar II is a very well known and widely used pipe stress analysis commersial engineering software package. Pipe stress analysis is a specialised mechanical engineering topic, but this particular software is almost exclusively used in the industry when it comes to pipe stress. I am of the opinion it should be un-deleted. Googling it gives for example this and this but most information can be found on the Coade site. It is to a great degree a "scientific" software package and i could say that the third-party wikipedia rule does not fully apply here. The article could just be a summmary of the info provided by Coade and still be usefull for wikipedia readers.
