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:

List of K.O.3an Guo characters

List of K.O.3an Guo characters · ( talk | logs | history | links | watch ) · [revisions]

When the article got deleted, it was stated in the reasons as 'Entirely in-universe, no secondary sources.' The thing is, this article, it is just an extended article for the drama K.O.3an Guo, where more information about the characters can be found, of course there will not have any secondary sources for it. Most/majority of the information are fictitious, it's not even real at all. Please restore this page back, it's kind of hard to understand what the drama is talking about/know more about the characters by just watching the show. -Virgo8994 (talk) 10:36, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done The merits don't matter as long as the article does not fall under CSD and does not have BLP issues. PROD was created for a very specific purpose, and it would be a slippery slope to start denying requests like this. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:54, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not done and will not be done This is your third request on this page, the first answered by Nyttend and then by me, without anything in your second and now this one indicating you had already received a previous answer. Review shopping by multiple requests is no going to work and it's unfortunately clear you are not taking in those answers, nor do you care that we are spending more time on each answer than it took for you to write the one sentence article that was deleted and did not comply with our policies.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 11:30, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly meets WP:POLITICIAN and received significant press coverage. The page was speedily deleted without WP:AFD -Voidz (talk) 02:51, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. The references are (a) two local newspaper accounts with one-line quotes from him on the need for a playground fence and a primary school, (b) four which show his name in lists of councillors, (c) his own LinkedIn page. That is nothing like enough to show notability. The note to WP:POLITICIAN #2 says "A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists." The WP:GNG says: ""Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail... Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention" See also WP:42 for what is required. JohnCD (talk) 14:25, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are many news coverages like this[1]. I don't understand ...has been written about, in depth,... because if already written about then why people would need to search in Wikipedia? - Voidz (t·c) 17:23, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's not indepth, and the content must be 90% O'Reilly's own words so its a primary not a secodary source. Spartaz ^Humbug! 17:34, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

18th Battalion Memorial Rifle Club · ( talk | logs | links | watch | afd ) · [revisions]

Decision based on a Google search which may not be the best metric available.

Wiki search for "rifle club" returns 3,289 for rifle club.

On acceptance there is new and expanded information as to the history of the club and the historic Hornsby rifle range in use since 1858, which is only one of two long distance (800m) shooting ranges located in Sydney NSW, Australia.

Thank you.

Gore Slut concern mentioned was: 'Non-notable musical group. Only reference appears to be the personal website of one of the members. No evidence of charting or awards.'

However, this band did exist,released records via Stickman Records and Virgin Records http://www.discogs.com/artist/Gore+Slut http://www.last.fm/music/Gore+Slut

Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. I will notify user Stuartyeates (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 would be welcome to contribute. If the article is to be kept, it needs references showing significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources to demonstrate how it meets the notability standard of WP:BAND.

Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_Avakian · ( talk | logs | links | watch ) · [revisions]

This should have not been deleted. There are many references and cross links across Wikipedia previously established. The article shouls appear as follows: Erik Avakian is an established ASCAP singer-songwriter, arranger, producer, and recording engineer. Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, Erik has toured the country with some of the most successful bands in the business. In the early part of his career, Erik was vocalist and keyboardist for the top New England touring band Sunshyne, which not only had a number one hit on Boston radio stations, but was composed of some of New England's most talented and successful players including Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch and Mary J. Blige former drummer, Pookie Coles.

Erik has recorded lead vocal, background vocal, and keyboard tracks in recording studios throughout the country and has collaborated extensively with some of the most influential musicians of our era including Nicko McBrain, drummer for Iron Maiden. Erik is a former member of the rock band Fuel (1993 - 1996) and has collaborated and recorded keyboard tracks on several of Fuel's originals including the Top 10 Billboard hit song Shimmer. His background vocals and keyboard work are prominently featured and credited on many of the tracks from the pre-Fuel release Small the Joy up to and including Fuel's next two self-titled releases including the album Porcelain. Several audio Samples that feature Erik's work can be downloaded directly from Fuel's website. A songwriter at heart, Erik has written and produced hundreds of songs and continues to write and record his own material in his Protools recording studio.

Not done - As announced at the top of the page, this Requests for Undeletion process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially, and does not apply to articles deleted after a deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Erik Avakian, it cannot be undeleted through this process. However, if you believe that the outcome of the discussion did not reflect the consensus of the participants, or that significant new information has come to light since the article was deleted, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user Cirt (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.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 16:11, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. A page on this subject at Smritokotha was redirected to Ssejsantokotha and deleted after a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ssejsantokotha, so it will not be restored here. If you consider that the deletion discussion was wrongly decided, or you have new information, you should first approach user Wizardman (talk), the administrator who closed the discussion, or user Jimfbleak (talk) who deleted your recent version, and ask them to look at your sandbox version; then, if your concerns are not addressed, you can go to WP:Deletion review. In order to be kept, the article will need to show references to significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources to establish notability.

It is stated that "04:45, 3 January 2012 'The Blade of the Northern Lights' deleted page Sundown Mountain (A7: Article about a company, corporation, organization, or group, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject)"

Others disagree with this and state that Sundown Mountain was deleted because it is a business but it is a ski area and is a very important part of Iowa and the tri-state area. If the article were to stay active, I trust that the wiki community would continue to add relevant facts to increase the significance of the content and article. -AP (talk) 00:59, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

I will notify the users 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 would be welcome to contribute. What is wrong with it, from Wikipedia's point of view, is that there are no references to establish that it is notable enough to have an encyclopedia article - see WP:NEO for the policy on neologisms: "Articles on neologisms are commonly deleted, as these articles are often created in an attempt to use Wikipedia to increase usage of the term... To support an article about a particular term or concept we must cite what reliable secondary sources, such as books and papers, say about the term or concept, not books and papers that use the term."

Not done - this article has not been restored because it does not appear to meet our guidelines for inclusion of articles about people. 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 people 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. This is cobbled together from the subject's own statements and favorable coverage from websites that support him.

Done - I have "userfied" the page for you to User:Drm04008/Nathan Ryan. As the image is a free one from Commons, it is not necessary to remove it while the page is in user space. Before you put a lot of effort into this, understand that the Wikipedia:Notability requirement is to show references to "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." See WP:Notability (summary). Youtube, Myspace, Twitter etc are not reliable sources. The test is, have people not connected with him thought him important enough to write substantial content about? Check out WP:MUSICBIO. JohnCD (talk) 23:01, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

John - thanks so much for your help (this is user drm04008 - sorry I couldn't log in from where I am) ... I have put up a number of 3rd party independent sources that have written about him, and made the changes necessary so that the article meets the WP:MUSICBIO expectatations.

This page was for a Darts tournament and was being updated with each years' winners. I have no idea of the reasons for its deletion, or who deleted it, nor are the procedures clear as to what to do about it. For anyone other than a wiki expert the procedures are gobbledygook and unintelligable. I would like this page to be restored as I can see no reason for its deletion and it provided useful information to darts players. -178.208.196.229 (talk) 15:15, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. This was one of a number of similar articles deleted after a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colorado Open (darts). The reason was lack of notability. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia is selective about subjects for articles: the test used is called Wikipedia:Notability and is not a matter of saying so but of references showing significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources.

Since the article was deleted after a deletion discussion, it will not be restored here: if you think the discussion was wrongly decided, or you have new information, you should approach user J04n (talk), the administrator who closed it; then, if your concerns are not addressed, you can go to WP:Deletion review.

Alternatively, you could set up your own wiki on Wikia, perhaps in conjunction with some of the other darts tournaments whose pages were deleted at the same AfD, to record each year's winners. JohnCD (talk) 18:06, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Page originally deleted because nominator was the only one commenting -no conversation with page editor/user who made most recent changes. Admin notes that the changes made by the user in question were recent and not substantial, and they not introduce the problems stated in complaint.

Hi, Am not very much experienced in doing things in Wikipedia. I am a customer of Drupion and not finding information about them decided to create a page for this company. The page was not much different from lot's of other company pages like, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquia and frankly saying I don't understand why http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drupion got deleted. Please give me the opportunity to copy my text at least. But I would appreciate if anyone could explain why it was removed in the first place and give me some cluse how it can be reinstated. I've already read the guidelines and requirements and don't see anything in my post for Drupion, that would not comply with them.

Not done the article was deleted because it read like an advertisement for the company. That makes sense since you copied the text of http://drupion.com/about to create the article. For you to create an article that would survive you would need to find sources that discuss the company. These sources would have to be independent of the company. You can use the company web site for basic information, but you have to include sources from others.

Not done - As announced at the top of the page, this Requests for Undeletion process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially, and does not apply to articles deleted after a deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1953 Fitzgerald Report, it cannot be undeleted through this process. However, if you believe that the outcome of the discussion did not reflect the consensus of the participants, or that significant new information has come to light since the article was deleted, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user Michig (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. JohnCD (talk) 09:56, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Free University of NYC

The Free University of NYC · ( talk | logs | history | links | watch ) · [revisions]

I created a new page for The Free University of NYC, as it was on the same page as Free University of New York and was incorrectly labeled as the same organization. Free University of New York and The Free University of NYC are two completely separate things. One was a front for the Maoist PLP Party in the last 1960's. The other was a one day even that was party of the Occupy movement. Their names are close, but they are not the same thing at all. I went back and did the proper WP:SPLIT process. It was flagged for speedy delete, and despite my explanation on the talk page through the speedy delete process, it was deleted anyway. Presently, The Free University of NYC redirects to Free University of New York. When I pointed this out to the editor who speedy deleted it, he agreed, and send me here to get it restored. That conversation is on the talk page here: User_talk:Smileguy91#Speedy_Deletion_of_The_Free_University_of_NYC -Theredproject (talk) 03:00, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Redirection ≠ deletion. Please see Bold Revert Discuss for advice about dealing with a disagreement over content. Looking at what you had you need to be aware that this won't survive any kind of deletion discussion as there is no evidence this meets our inclusion standard. Spartaz ^Humbug! 07:33, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Spartaz, two questions: 1. As per Bold Revert Discuss, after I engage a conversation on the talk page, where do I go to ask for the Redirection to be removed (if that is the consensus.) The original speedy deleter actually didn't know where the right place was, as he sent me to the WP:ADMINNOTICEBOARD. 2. What is the issue re notability? Is it a question of not having enough sources, period? Is it a question of not having sources that explicitly state "The Free University of NYC has nothing to do with the Free University of New York?" The organizers of the 2012 project never mention FUNY in their materials, is that enough? Thanks.--Theredproject (talk) 15:48, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Spartaz and Redproject, I was the user who marked the article for speedy deletion. I deleted the page originally because I believed that the Free University of New York and the Free University of NYC were the same thing, which apparently is false, because I did not view the sources before CSD-tagging it with Twinkle. As for your comments, Redproject, notability does not increase or decrease with number of citations used. The reason for WP:GNG undeletion denial was because, at the time of deletion, the article did not explicitly say why the article's subject was notable; thus does not fit Wikipedia notability standards. Articles that do not explain why the article's subject is notable are promptly tagged for deletion by recent changes patrollers. Regards, smileguy91^talk 17:45, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
