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.

Shortcuts

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.

Please enter the page's title to request its undeletion:

Kimberly Freeman

Kimberly Freeman · ( talk | logs | links | watch | afd ) · [revisions]

The reason I think the page should be undeleted is because Kimberly Freeman is a pretty famous singer. I have seen the reason this page was deleted and it is because she is not notable enough. Kimberly Freeman had published 6 albums and 9 singles. She has also received many awards and has been featured in magazines. She also appeared in AdventureQuest Worlds,(a massive online role playing game) and on Americas Got Talent. She have around 1400 Facebook fans, 7000 twitter followers, 26000 Myspace friends, 3000 Youtube subscribers, over 7000,000 views on her music videos and thousands of videos made by her fans. She even have a website for her band One Eyed Doll where you can by her music and merchandise. I think that makes her pretty notable. -174.1.215.93 (talk) 02:41, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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/Kimberly Freeman, 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 Spartaz (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. Skier Dude (talk) 07:05, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not done - this article has not been restored because it does not appear to meet our guidelines for inclusion of articles concerning music. In general, Wikipedia considers a topic to be notable if there exist multiple reliable sources of information on the topic, external to the subject itself. Articles concerning musicians or music groups will be deleted on sight if they are considered to be unambiguous advertising or promotion, or if they do not contain a credible assertion of the significance of the subject. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:14, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

BOFI Advisor

BOFI Advisor · ( talk | logs | links | watch ) · [revisions]

The information about BOFI Advisor is well within the parameters laid down by Wikipedia. If the term “institution” has been interpreted to mean “school”, then I would like to point out that “institution” in the context of BOFI Advisor was used just to imply a financial or banking institution. Many established banks are classified as “financial or banking institutions” in industry communication and numerous media platforms.

BOFI is a pioneer of internet banking and in this respect it deserves to be in the Wikipedia encyclopedia. In this age of internet banking the significance or importance of one of the pioneers of this form of banking cannot be underscored. The readers would appreciate this bit of information that Wikipedia has not covered till date -Jwaite87 (talk) 16:32, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not done - this article has not been restored because it does not appear to meet our guidelines for inclusion of articles concerning companies.

this is one of the country's oldest local sororities. I am currently an active member of this sorority at the Illinois Institute of Technology, and by having this page exist, we can better represent ourselves and what we stand for to the public. It is an important organization, and should have a page. Thank you very much. -76.202.211.39 (talk) 23:10, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. I will notify user Neutrality (talk), who proposed it, and who may choose to nominate it at WP:Articles for deletion, which would start a debate lasting seven days to which you could contribute. Wikipedia is not here to help you represent yourselves to the public; if the article is to be kept, it needs to establish Wikipedia:Notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Experience suggests that local sororities and fraternities are unlikely to be notable in Wikipedia's sense: see Wikipedia:College and university article guidelines, particularly the section Student life.

Valitor

Valitor · ( talk | logs | history | links | watch | afd ) · [revisions]

I request an admin userfy this article and its entire history so I can review it and work on it. The article was deleted for "G11: Blatant advertising" -Bensin (talk) 06:12, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. It was not only spammy ("We are focused on delivering quality service... " etc., plus address and phone number), it was copied from their website at http://www.valitor.com, so it cannot be restored. The history was simple: it was posted on 30 April 2008, the automatic Coren Searchbot at once flagged it as a copyright violation, and 15 minutes later NawlinWiki (talk) zapped it. You will have to start from scratch. JohnCD (talk) 09:19, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would have preferred to re-work the deleted article, even if it meant a complete overhaul. If nothing else then for the preservation of the article history so that everybody can se who did what. --Bensin (talk) 10:58, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The text was a copyright violation, so it cannot be restored, even temporarily. I will email it to you if you like, and if you enable email on your account (at the bottom of the "User profile" tab under "My preferences") but it really won't help you much - it was five lines of the sort of stuff you will see on their website, plus their address, phone number and website. The history is not illuminating or helpful either: it was posted by Stigurv (talk · contribs), flagged as a copyvio by CorenSearchBot, and tagged {{db-spam}} by Dekisugi (talk · contribs), all in the same minute at 15:16, 30 April 2008, and deleted as advertising by NawlinWiki (talk · contribs) at 15:30. JohnCD (talk) 15:55, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's OK. I really appreciate your offer though! I prefer preservation of the article history whenever possible so that anyone who is interested can review the history when they want to. I understand your position on why the article can't be restored, but I'm not sure I share it. If someone adds copyrighted material to an existing article we simply revert that edit and move on. I may be wrong, but as far as I know we rarely oversight that edit but the old version is instead still available in the article history, so there appears to be a discrepancy in policy enforcement there. Anyway, I'll rewrite the article from scratch. Thank you for taking your time to explain your position, for looking into the history and letting me know the details. --Bensin (talk) 09:23, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. This article was deleted as a result of the deletion discussion at WP:Articles for deletion/Types of cities by geographical region so, as clearly stated at the top of this page, it will not be restored here. If you think the debate was wrongly decided, or you have new information, you should approach user The Bushranger (talk), the administrator who closed the discussion; then, if your concerns are not addressed, you can take them to WP:Deletion review. Before doing that, you should read WP:NOTESSAY, WP:No original research and WP:Verifiability to understand why this is unlikely to be an acceptable Wikipedia article.

Done. Any biography of a living person is deleted after ten days if it does not have at least one reliable source to confirm what it says. The subject's own website is not considered reliable for this purpose. I have restored the page and reset the ten-day clock. If the article is to be kept in the longer term, it needs to establish Wikipedia:Notability by references that show "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", see also WP:42 and WP:CREATIVE.

Not done. The page has not been deleted, your contribution is still there in the history, but another editor, DoriSmith (talk · contribs) redirected it, for the reason given in her edit summary: "Redirect to existing band page until there's something encyclopedic to say about him." Looking at the content before that, I have to say I agree with her: "Old school metalhead who's been seen swinging his studded belt at laholmsägen, Halmstad. Used to frequent a mid nineties bar called BM... " etc is material for a gossip column or a fan-site, not an encyclopedia. Unless there are references to show WP:Notability independent of his band, a redirect to its article is the best way to cover him. But this is a matter for editing and discussion. More advice on your talk page soon. JohnCD (talk) 22:51, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

the article was deleted based on G11 using speedy deletion process. Note that G11 reads "Pages that are exclusively promotional, and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic. Note: An article about a company or a product which describes its subject from a neutral point of view does not qualify for this criterion" - this article was about a company. I am not affiliated with the company in any way yet want to do research on the company - the page should be restored. If the page was out of compliance in that it was not considered neutral, my reading of the deletion guidelines suggest that a "blanking" of the page would make more sense. -carol sue haney (talk) 19:42, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

April Jeanette · ( talk | logs | history | links | watch ) · [revisions]

An editor by the name of Anthony Appleyard deleted a page for AJ Lee. He first renamed it from 'AJ Lee (wrestler)" to 'April Jeanette' (so April Jeanette was the article's final name I think), before deleting it. He then created a new page called April Jeanette and made it a redirect. So right now the entire article is gone. The page was in the process of a requested name change before this delete happened. There was no reason for this article to be deleted and must have been some mistake. -Wrestling0101 (talk) 23:41, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. The article was deleted after a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eric Townsend, but due to low participation the closing administrator made it a WP:SOFTDELETE so, as with a WP:PROD, it has been restored on request. It may still be re-nominated: the main claim to fame presented in the present article is a list of people he has worked with, but Wikipedia:Notability is not inherited, what is needed is references about him that show "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."
