Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2011 January 13
Somewhat unusually, this is a request for a deletion review of a deletion review. The article in question is Slovio, which was very recently at DRV here. I have tried to discuss the matter with the DRV closer, JzG, and I invite you to review the relevant section of his talk page here. You will see from the talk page discussion that JzG closed the deletion review on the grounds that the nominator had a conflict of interest, and in JzG's words, "I am not big on giving spammers what they want." This is understandable and I don't dispute that part of it at all. However, my position is that the DRV did unearth sources and it ought to be possible to create a fresh article based on the sources we found during the DRV. I am willing to do this, and as a starting point, I would use a translation of de.wiki's article on the subject, which you can review here.
It is arguable that this DRV is unnecessary because I can create a fresh article that overcomes the reason for deletion, but since the article has been deleted several times and a very recent DRV has confirmed the deletion, and I do not want to be accused of an end-run around process, I thought it would be wiser to gain the community's view first. —S Marshall T/C 18:22, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
