Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion

Welcome. Please note that this page is NOT for challenging the outcome of deletion discussions nor to address the pending deletion of any page.

Requests for undeletion is a process intended to assist users in restoring pages or files that were uncontroversially deleted via proposed deletion, under certain speedy deletion criteria (such as maintenance deletions), or in "articles for deletion" debates with little or no participation other than the nominator. This page is also intended to serve as a central location to request that deleted content be userfied or emailed to you so the content can be improved upon prior to re-insertion into the mainspace, or used elsewhere (you may also make a request directly to one of the administrators listed here). This means that content deleted after discussion—at articles for deletion, categories for discussion, or miscellany for deletion among other deletion processes—may in some cases be provided to you, but such controversial page deletions will not be overturned through this process.

This page is only for requesting undeletion of articles or files which have already been deleted. If the article you are concerned about is still visible, but has a warning message (template) at the top, please do not post here, but follow the instructions on the template or on your talk page.

Note that requests for undeletion is not a replacement for deletion review. If you feel an administrator has erred in closing a deletion discussion or in applying a speedy deletion criterion, please contact them directly. If you discuss but are unable to resolve the issue on their talk page, it should be raised at Wikipedia:Deletion review, rather than here.

THERE IS A PARK IN BAY RIDGE NAMES Owl's Head Park. The history is correct. -142.255.95.67 (talk) 22:11, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

 Question: But is it notable? Existence is not being questions, notability is. I recognize that this is an expired PROD, but undeleting it will lead to immediate re-deletion (✉→BWilkins←✎) 08:52, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

http://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/OwlsHeadPark/history covers the park in general, news items such as http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=7w00AAAAIBAJ&sjid=qCMIAAAAIBAJ&pg=1586,2878705&dq=owls-head-park&hl=en abound.

If the park is not notable in its own right the content could usefully be used to seed a Parks of Brooklyn article. Rich Farmbrough, 14:54, 3 November 2012 (UTC).

Recreated article is currently at AfD. The version speedily deleted on 14 February 2011 may contain some useful text which could be incorporated into the current article, providing guidance for seeking sources contrtibuting to demonstrating notability of the subject. My request is for this to be restored to user space, in order to avoid conflict with the recreated article. Apologies if deletion review is the more appropriate forum, but WP:DEL#Undeletion "It should be used to appeal most instances of ... speedy deletion" seems to be ambiguous regarding CSDs when read in conjunction with this page and DELREV. I'd contact the deleting admin, but s/he {{can't retire}} and hasn't edited since Dec 2011. Thanks. --- Trevj (talk) 13:05, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Selena Rose is a popular pornographic actress and I created a Wikipedia article for her with reliable sources. I spent at least two hours working on that page but it was deleted within a few minutes after I saved it. There are pornographic actresses who are a lot less popular than Selena Rose and they have a Wikipedia page, so why was Selena Rose's page deleted? I'll be glad to continue researching her and expand her page and include citations if her article is restored. -Rebecca1990 (talk) 03:54, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia lists Liliana Gil as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, yet the page was deleted for her not being notable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Young_Global_Leaders

She is also a regular news contributor on MSNBC and CNN en Español weekly on issues of minorities and women. http://video.msnbc.msn.com/martin-bashir/49109422 http://video.msnbc.msn.com/martin-bashir/49573549/ Can the page be undeleted and supported with all these new sources?

 Not done. From a look at that list , it is clear that being a "World Economic Forum Young Global Leader" is not enough for notability, and your two links just show that she contributes. What is really needed is independent comment about her, see WP:42. In any case, this was deleted after a deletion debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Liliana Gil so, as stated at the top of this page, it will not be undeleted here. If you can find good references you should approach user Jclemens (talk), the administrator who closed the discussion; then, if your concerns are not addressed, you can go to WP:Deletion review.

Pexco, LLC

• Pexco, LLC · ( talk | logs | links | watch | afd ) · [revisions]

I am a newbie to Wikipedia and am writing to see if the possibility exists to either un-delete and userfy an article or incubate it as a user-space draft. The article was Pexco, LLC.

Since starting the article, I've engaged with contributors to learn more about what makes an article Wiki-worthy. The admin who deleted it disagreed with certain aspects of the article, and I now see he has some valid reasons for it. For instance, I see that sources was a concern and have since identified alternative reputable sources to most of the citations that seemed to be the ones in question.

Having a much better sense now of what makes a solid article, I am asking for the chance to make the necessary changes and properly address the concerns that were raised. Please let me know what might be possible. Wikipedia is certainly an interesting world, and I look forward to learning even more.

Thanks for the consideration. S harp44 (talk) -204.60.123.11 (talk) 18:46, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Not done - As announced at the top of the page, this process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially and has no applicability to articles deleted after any deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pexco, LLC, it cannot be undeleted through this process. Nevertheless, if you believe that the consensus found at the discussion was in error, or that significant new information has come to light since the deletion, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user Mark Arsten (talk · contribs). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review.--Orange Mike | Talk 19:53, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

As a fan of Demigodz group, I would like to request that the group's page be undeleted. They are a very relevant hip hop group that has existed for several year, has toured internationally, and gained a large following. The leading Demigods members Apathy and Celph Titled have a following of over 60,000 fans on Facebook alone. The group has worked with several prominent hip hop groups and artists including DJ Premiere, Army of the Pharaohs, RA The Rugged Man, Diabolic, Vinnie Paz, Cyprus Hill, Jedi Mind Tricks, Fort Minor, and many many more.

The removal of the page is insulting to the thousands of supporters of Demigodz and other underground music, and counterproductive to the Wikipedia's credibility as an encyclopedia that includes artists and musicians. I strongly urge Wikipedia to reverse this action and continue to provide information about one of the most influential and well-regarded groups in underground hip hop.

Thank you - Trevor -69.137.255.183 (talk) 22:26, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

I am looking at this, but considering Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Demigodz (2nd nomination). Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Demigodz had a no consensus. The recent recreations were also copyright violations. Cindamuse should reconsider the G4 deletion, because the article is different, and has many more new references, so G4 does not apply.

There are many articles about sons of businessmen on wikipedia and people who are less relevent in the media.

I suspect that Fastily screwed up with edit comments. Alternatively, somewhere along the road a good page was replaced with a bad redirect and subsequently deleted. In any case, it appears that the truth may be learned only from deleted article histories. I'd like to have these articles restored in my user space, for investigation. Thanks, Staszek Lem (talk) 21:23, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

 Done. What a mess. Fastily's edit summaries were OK, it is your second guess that is right: after a lot of argument and a tangle of moves, someone redirected the article in June 2011 to a page which then or later was deleted, resulting in a chain of redirects ending in a red-link. Six months later, Fastily cleaned up that chain of redirects-to-non-existent page.

The actual content ended up in the history of Medieval Islamic sociology and I have userfied that for you to User:Staszek Lem/Medieval Islamic sociology and restored the last version that had content. The history, and the talk page, show a lot of argument about the content and may help you understand what went on. If you think of restoring it, you should probably consult with those involved; that may restart the arguments, but you'll get those anyway sooner or later. JohnCD (talk) 23:02, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Comment for anyone else interested: the reason why all this stuff was reduced to redirects and effectively deleted was that it was all based on OR and, worse, misrepresentation of sources by Jagged 85 (talk · contribs) who was eventually banned - for details, see WP:Requests for comment/Jagged 85 and its talk page.
