Robert Héliès

Hello. I understand you deleted the article Robert Héliès because a banned user had created the article. But could you please at least let me re-create the article? Where can I find its wikitext? Thank you. 22:15, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

The same thing goes for René Vigliani. Paul Vaurie (talk) 22:22, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

@Paul Vaurie: Hi, you are free to recreate the articles, of course. A copy of the text for each can be found here and here. ✗plicit 23:54, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! Paul Vaurie (talk) 00:08, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Hey Explicit. Can you please show me all the articles that you deleted due to the banned user? I would like to recreate more of them. Thank you. Paul Vaurie (talk) 14:32, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

@Paul Vaurie: Sure. It's quite the list.

✗plicit 01:10, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Wow, I didn't expect that. Thank you. Where can I find the wikitexts? I'm looking to re-create at least just Marcel Bacou but I might do more. Thank you. Paul Vaurie (talk) 01:30, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

@Paul Vaurie: Unfortunately, only administrators have access to the deleted content. You will have to request copies of the text for each page. ✗plicit 02:19, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

you are an admin, correct? Can I please have the text for Marcel Bacou? Thank you. Paul Vaurie (talk) 14:31, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Restoration of File:Microsoft_Edge_Screenshot_(2018).png

Firstly, does this file also have a screenshot of the Edge Chromium browser?

Secondly, if it does, can this file be restored? A screenshot of Edge Chromium was uploaded to Wikimedia Commons but the uploader apparently did not understand that doing so would be in violation of Commons deletion policy as it is non-free, and only the Chromium browser is BSD licensed, not Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge Chromium.

@Awesome Aasim:  Done, file restored. ✗plicit 00:50, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Francisca James and Nguyễn Trần Khánh Vân

Francisca James and Nguyễn Trần Khánh Vân are not a notable beauty pageant winner, the page was not giving the readers much more information, many unsourced miss-leading information and lack of sources legitimacy, and lack of interest for Wikipedian user to discuss about this page. Please delete those non-notable person pages.--125.164.51.144 (talk) 12:59, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Geetha Nagu

Hi, I understand this page was deleted as a promotional, but the idea was not to. It was to create a page for this motivational speaker who is well known in the Tamil community from India. Please let me know what to delete and recreate the page. https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Draft:Geetha_Nagu&action=edit&redlink=1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bearcubscout (talk • contribs) 04:54, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

@Bearcubscout: Hi, the core issue with your draft was that it read more like a résumé more than an encyclopedic article about the subject. Wikipedia does not accept such content. In regards to writing an article about her, the pertinent notability guideline is WP:BIO. Looking over the references now, there are seven distinct references. Three of them—vikaasa.edu.in, sunindustriesglobal.com, and news18.com—did not mention Geetha Nagu at all. Two of them—wef.org.in and vikatan.com—were not independent from her. That is to say, because she was involved in the Women Economic Forum as a speaker, the blurb written about her on their website is considered a primary source and does not contribute to notability. The latter source appears to be a direct interview with her. Again, a primary source. What remains is the awards given by GOPIO and Global Entrepreneur Council. These are a little more difficult to assess because the organizations may be notable, but the awards themselves may not be notable (notability is not inherited). In general, a topic is considered notable "when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Please see the general notability guideline for further information. ✗plicit 07:24, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

@Explicit: Thanks very much for taking the time and for the detailed response! Truly appreciate it. I'm new at this, and I'll submit a new version only if it is a biographic version that conforms to the notability guidelines with additional notable secondary sources. Thanks again.

Thanks

Hello, I just wanted to thank you for deleting the deluge of old stuff I had in my userspace that I just mass-nominated for deletion! I hope it wasn't too much of a time-waster. Gluons12 ^t|c 14:13, 23 April 2021 (UTC).

@Gluons12: Not a problem! No time wasted at all. ✗plicit 14:16, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

CSD's

Hi. And thanks for all the effort you put in on the grunt work of an admin. I'd like you to reconsider your decision of several CSD's your recently rejected. I hadn't seen your decision, and had responded on the talk pages (see Talk:Warning (Sejeong song) for my rationale. Of course, I'll respect your decision, but I do not think that socks should ever be encouraged. Thanks. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:00, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

@Onel5969: Hi, the rejections were not an easy decision to make, especially as I hold the exact opposite view of my actions. I had to go back and forth in deciding between deleting the pages or declining the deletions. I revisited WP:CSD#G5 and WP:BP#Enforcement by reverting, taking note of the argument that G5 deletions have been restored on behalf of other editors' request in the past—which held true in cases like Michael Spavor and Secoo, which spectacularly undermine the criterion. I'm guessing a handful of admins hold a similar view to this. I ultimately decided to err on the side of caution.

I'm open to a compromise if you and Silver seren are open to it: allow him to copy the pages' contents, have an administrator to delete the pages under G5, and simply recreate them. ✗plicit 14:29, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

@Explicit: Hi admin, if possible can you also restore I'm (EP) and Plant (EP)? Both are Kim Se-jeong EP, I didn't have the time to contested to it because I was offline at that time when it was deleted. By the time, I was online, I was already deleted 1-2 hours ago. I'm okay with this solution (to copy the pages' contents, have an administrator to delete the pages under G5, and simply recreate them) as well if you could restore both article, I will copy them to sandbox, initial G5 by myself and recreate it or move it to mainspace from sandbox. Both article meets WP:NMG as per Kim Se-jeong#Discography. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 14:41, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the detailed explanation. As I said, I respect your decision, but disagree with the concept of rewarding socks. We spend way too much time on enforcing their WP violations. I almost always disagree when articles which have been G5'd are restored. If an editor is interested in creating the article, then create it, but don't reward the sock. The one exception is when their is honest disagreement about how much other editors have contributed to the article. That's a matter of interpretation, and different editors have different measures. But other than that, I appreciate your views on the subject. I don't know how many hours I've wasted in either reviewing articles by socks, which later get deleted, or in researching and reporting socks, or in marking the G5's. Regarding that other editor has taken to following me around after we had a disagreement a couple of weeks ago, so doubtful there's a genuine compromise. Again, thanks for your explanation, and all the hard work you do on the project. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:48, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

@Onel5969: Hopefully, you're not referring to me. I just came here because Explicit rejected the various CSD for Korean-related articles hence I'm just requesting if it is possible for restore the two deleted EP articles. My advance apologies if you're not referring to me, just want to clear the air. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 14:55, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Paper9oll, absolutely not. You have an actual interest in Korean arts topics. I was referring to the editor mentioned by Explicit. And apologies to them for clogging their talk page. I've said my piece. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:57, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

(edit conflict × 3) @Paper9oll: Restoration is out of the question. Instead, I have copied the contents for those two pages here and here. You can work on these in your sandbox until they are ready for mainspace. These articles aren't exactly stellar. ✗plicit 15:02, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

@Explicit: Hi admin, thanks a lot. I have downloaded both code. Once again, thanks a lot. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 15:04, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

PROD deluge

Hello, Explicit,

We often cross paths in deletion areas on Wikipedia lately and I wanted to give you a head's up that there are over 300 articles nominated for deletion next Saturday (see Category:Proposed deletion as of 24 April 2021). I also posted a note to GB fan who also patrols PRODs. I have asked the nominator to pace themselves to maybe 20-30 PROD'd articles a day but there are a lot of these village articles to be deleted. I didn't expect there to be several hundred to evaluate in one day. All hands on deck next weekend if you are free. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:28, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Review requests

Hi there! Can you perhaps review these page if you don't mind, or maybe just tell me are these article notable enough? Article 1 | Article 2

Thank you! Byy2 (talk) 09:57, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

@Byy2: Hi, Jang Dae-hyeon easily passes WP:SINGER #2. On the other hand, Kim Dong-hyun (singer, born 1998) doesn't seem to pass either WP:SINGER or WP:NACTOR. He has released a few songs and has been in a few series that were nothing of note. If we exclude everything from his career with AB6IX and MXM, we're left with "In early 2021, Kim starred as one of male lead in a web series called Fling at Convenience Store. He also sang the soundtrack for the series, which was co-produced by him." That isn't sufficient to demonstrate notability. ✗plicit 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Ah, okay then. I'm going to come up with something to make the Kim Dong-hyun article notable. Thank you for responding! Byy2 (talk) 14:26, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Request block

@Explicit: Hi admin, could you block this user Cedric Peridot? User was warned many times prior since 2019 to not remove content without providing a valid reason in doing so, however user continued to do so to various articles and recently to various Red Velvet-related articles. In addition, to removing content without providing a valid reason, user also added several failed verification content such as to Russian Roulette (Red Velvet song) where user denotes that 2016 Melon Music Awards – Best Music Video was awarded to director Shin Hee-won which isn't true as per the source in the body section and Naver search doesn't show such indications as well, so does the YouTube live recording of the event displayed as such.

User also fail to communicate to issued warnings by various editors and even to written message by other editor as seen in user talk page. Contributions log also shows that user has never tried to communicate with other users and this includes moving 2 mainspace article (both Red Velvet compilation album article) that isn't stub-start class to draftspace without providing a valid reason previously and not even communicating on what the reason was for making the move. Such warnings has stacked up since 2019 and it doesn't seem user is even caring about it as recent and overtime behavior shows user have no intention to comply. I have filed report on WP:AIV however no admin responded to it and the bot just clear them after few hours. A report was also filed yesterday by fellow editor EN-Jungwon and same results, the bot just clear it after few hours. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 14:49, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Feedback needed

Hello and hi. For the past 4 to 5 months, I have been participating in several AFD discussions. So now I believe I have the enough experience to close the uncontroversial AFD's. I already did some. Now I really want a feedback from your side whether I had done any mistakes. If so, please tell me how can improve myself to make good decisions while closing AFD's. Because I really want to help in that area of this project. I will show you all the AFD's which I closed. Please see [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22]. Please tell me which among these do you think I should not have closed. I would be grateful if you have some time to spare for me. Regards. Kichu🐘 ^{Need any help?} 14:58, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

@Kashmorwiki: Hi, these all seem like fine closures, except for potentially Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Legitimate Wise Guy. The nom plus one other participant is generally not enough to determine a consensus, especially if the two opinions don't match as in this discussion. I would have relisted it for additionally participation. ✗plicit 00:22, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for you valuable feeback. From now on I will be watching over your closures to learn and get more experience for future AFD closures from my side. And I hope I can contact you at anytime regarding any doubts. Regards:) Kichu🐘 ^{Need any help?} 00:27, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Promising drafts

Hi, why are you deleting drafts that have been tagged as promising drafts ? regards, Atlantic306 (talk) 01:13, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

@Atlantic306: Hi, please the documentation for {{promising draft}}. The template is only meant to postpone G13 deletions, it doesn't make drafts immune to deletion per the consensus at this RFC. Patrolling admins make the necessary edits to drafts tagged with the template (like this one) to allow the grace period of an additional six months, but they can not avoid deletion if no improvements are made in a year. ✗plicit 07:12, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Deletion review for Template:Cute news

Sligo Montage.jpg

I understand you deleted the file File:Sligo Montage.jpg today, which seems long standing. Are you able to explain a little about what initiated this action and more especially the reason for the deletion. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 02:43, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

@Djm-leighpark: Hi, File:Sligo Montage.jpg was marked as a non-free file by the uploader in 2013 and it was a montage of existing structures, a statue, and scenery of Sligo. The user wrote in the description that the images were found through a Google Image search. The file was tagged with {{di-replaceable fair use}} with the following rationale: "Existing place, plenty of free images on Commons (c:Category:Sligo) which can be used to make a montage like this". This proved true, as some of the subjects in this collage included the Glasshouse Hotel {free image here) and River Garavogue (free image here). I deleted the file in accordance to WP:NFCC#1. ✗plicit 09:13, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Thankyou for the explanation. To a degree following the image deletion simply by looking at the talk on the Sligo article the information "Existing place, plenty of free images on Commons (c:Category:Sligo) which can be used to make a montage like this" was lost with the deletion of the file and there was also no pre-warning of the deletion. I'll probably add this info on the article talk page. Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 09:24, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

File:British Beekeepers Association Logo.jpg

Hi Explicit. You previously deleted File:British Beekeepers Association Logo.jpg per F5, but it’s been re-uploaded because now there’s an article where the file can be used to meet WP:NFCC#7. My question is whether it would’ve been better for the uploader to go to WP:REFUND instead of simply re-uploading the logo. Does it matter that the file history for the deleted version is not part of the file history for the re-uploaded version? — Marchjuly (talk) 16:08, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: Th deleted content was all by the same uploader, so I'm not sure if it makes a difference... ✗plicit 00:17, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi,

An image that I uploaded to this article last week - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Gudinski has been deleted by you.
