Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion
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 rejected Articles for creation drafts), 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.
- Instructions for special cases
- G13. Abandoned Articles for creation submissions - see Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion/G13 for instructions.
To contest deletions that have have already been discussed (in particular, at Articles for deletion), or that are likely to be controversial, please make a request at Wikipedia:Deletion review instead. |

- Not done. The deleted article appears to be about a different person altogether. Feel free to register an account and create a new article. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:40, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
I am surprised the deleted article was about a different person because the link for it is from his band Aquasky's Wikipedia page. Is it possible to view the deleted article? If it just contains some inaccuracies then I will submit / edit (I am new to this!) some new information. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Helixoxford (talk • contribs) 22:13, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- It links because in the Aquasky article someone wrote [[Dave Wallace (musician)]] but the article of that name, deleted seven years ago, was about a "Guitarist / Songwriter – born Oakland, California 9/5/53" who operated mainly in LA and SF, only visiting London "where he did some minor recording" in 1984/5. Not your man. You are welcome to write a new article: read WP:Your first article and WP:MUSICBIO for advice. JohnCD (talk) 22:35, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
Many thanks for that info. I was just curious! I might consider writing a short article about the actual person. Will have a look at the first article links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Helixoxford (talk • contribs) 21:32, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Michigan Triangle
It looks like the page "The Michigan Triangle" was redirected to "Michigan Triangle" in 2011, then "Michigan Triangle" was deleted yesterday, 3/9/14, by Joe Decker with no reason given, and "The Michigan Triangle" was deleted on 3/10/14 with a note saying the redirect was not working (obviously because the page it redirects to was deleted yesterday). I thought I had visited this page before and it looked like it was working fine, so I am not sure why it was deleted today, but I would love to see it put back up. -173.160.150.153 (talk) 22:24, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
- Not done. "No reason given"? The reason given was Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michigan Triangle.

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.

- Not done - 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 after a discussion took place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DesignContest, 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 NativeForeigner (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.
- In regard to other articles, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. I see that the administrator who closed the deletion discussion offered to "userfy" the article on request, i.e. move it into a subpage in your user space where you could work on it. JohnCD (talk) 10:56, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

- Not done and will not be done because Wikipedia is not to be used for promotion or publicity, which is exactly what you were trying to do with that article. Articles must be written in a neutral tone. See Wikipedia:Neutral point of view as well as WP:42 for guidance.

This article was soft-deleted after only the nominator supported deletion in a "stealth nomination". The deletion nominator has a clear conflict of interest; he is the inventor of the Schulze method and related sub-methods, which do not pass this criterion. The criterion was originated relatively recently and is not widely cited in the academic literature, but it is discussed more and more in more ephemeral WP:RSs. Note that inclusion in Wikipedia should not be based on a judgement of whether this criterion is desirable, just on whether "it is a thing"; that is, whether it is a well-defined entity that a person well-versed in the field would know of. For instance, it shows up in surveys of voting criteria, as in [1] and [2]. I can also personally report that Arrow, Tideman, Sen, and Maskin (a few of the universally-recognised biggest "names" in this field) are all aware of this criterion. This is exactly the kind of well-defined niche technical jargon that is useful to have on Wikipedia. -Homunq (࿓) 15:13, 12 March 2014 (UTC) (Note: I also suggest that if we want broader discussion on this, somebody should post a notice on Voting system, the main topic page. I won't do so to avoid the appearance of canvassing, but I don't think this would actually be canvassing, as that page gets attention from a wide variety of viewpoints.) Homunq (࿓) 15:29, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
- Not done. Normally an article that got deleted as a result of AFD would not qualify for undeletion request on this page, although lightly-discussed AFD would merit userfying at least. However, given that this was the sixth AFD, which referenced all the previous ones, I am reluctant to restore it unilaterally. You really need to talk to the deleting admin Mark Arsten (talk · contribs) first, and if you are not satisfied with the admin's response, take it to WP:DRV. ~Amatulić (talk) 15:32, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
- Additional comments
I've tried to contact Arsten on his talk page, but it seems he's taking a few weeks away from WP: Special:Contributions/Mark_Arsten&offset=&limit=500&target=Mark+Arsten. Obviously, since I didn't even notice until now, this is not a huge rush, but I'd also rather not have this discussion take weeks. Given that he was clear that it was a SOFTDELETE, is there anyone else who could help me with this? Of course, we'd probably have to give the delete-nominator a chance to have his say, too.

Deleted because of inappropriate and fabricated content, the page details a particular type of zoophilia, which while new, is not a fabrication- simply a recognition of a specific group -Slightlyleft (talk) 22:01, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
- Note: Of the speedy deletions this article has, the most recent deletion is a A7. Articles meeting this criterion are generally not undeleted either because they require a complete rewrite or they violate our biographical or fair-use policies. The article was actually deleted under three CSD criteria, specifically A11, A7 (which can't be overturned here) and A10 (which also can't be overturned here). While the A11 can be challenged here, the A7 and A10 cannot. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 22:05, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
Gracie Barra Montreal
Please restore the page as I intend to keep on improving it. -MTK 14:33, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
- A first version of the page Gracie Barra Montreal (This is a Martial art school) was created by someone else some time ago. It was proposed for deletion for good reasons by this administrator PRehse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:PRehse .
- I noticed that the old page Gracie Barra Montreal was deleted by a second administrator (see old page log.)
- I rebuilt a new page from scratch after reading carefully the deletion archives and addressing one by one all the issues that were raised. In particular I paid special attention in proving notability with a significant number of independent and reliable references. PRehse followed this process in my sandbox with no problem.
- I recreated a new Gracie Barra Montreal page with the same title and a completely new content that addressed all the old issues.
- The new Gracie Barra Montreal page is reviewed and approved by an third administrator (see history of page).
- The new page is also approved and given a "Start class" by PRehse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:PRehse who, as a Martial artist, is in the best position to evaluate this Martial art content.
- A fourth editor (see log history) abruptly deleted the page the following day for, according to him "unambiguous advertisement".
- I contacted this fourth editor for more detailed explanation. I am however convinced that his action is indeed a mistake and I would prefere to be given a substantied warning and invited to improve the page.
- I, therefore, request that the Gracie Barra Montreal be restored and be given a chance to improve it further if indeed there is an issue that I missed.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mamadoutadioukone (talk • contribs) 14:36, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
- You should communicate the above with the deleting administrator JamesBWatson (talk · contribs) before coming here. I left him a note on his talk page.
- You re-created the article hours after it was deleted as a result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gracie Barra Montreal. However, it does appear to be a complete re-write, so wouldn't qualify for deletion under WP:CSD#G4. Then again, it does have a promotional tone, which might qualify it for speedy deletion under WP:CSD#G11 although it appears to me that the promotional content can easily be cleaned up. I am hesitant to override JamesBWatson's deletion decision until he comments here. ~Amatulić (talk) 15:02, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
- There is always disagreement over the wording of CSD G4, with some people taking "sufficiently identical and unimproved" as meaning "almost identical", some taking it as meaning something closer to "sufficiently similar that the the arguments advanced in the existing AfD still applies". My own view is that, since the purpose of having this as a speedy deletion criterion is to avoid having to go through another AfD that essentially duplicates the previous one, the only logical interpretation of "sufficiently" is "sufficiently to make the existing AfD still apply. I also think that the article is sufficiently promotional to justify deletion for that reason, and a fairly brief search failed to produce evidence of satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Nevertheless, I have restored the article, on the basis of the assurance that the editor requesting restoration will "keep on improving it". I hope that it will indeed be improved enough to justify keeping it. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 19:50, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
- The article has now been speedily deleted again, by another administrator who appears to have a similar interpretation of CSD G4 to myself, as you can see here. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 17:45, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

we are using this page as an assignment in a new media class at SFU and we need it in order to obtain grades for this project. We will make it a private page we are still learning how to create such pages. -Cmnsgroup (talk) 00:07, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- Not done. Welcome to Wikipedia, but that is not suitable material for an article page in the main encyclopedia. What you need is a Wikipedia:Course page. Read Wikipedia:Student assignments for advice on how to set one up, and other useful advice about educational projects. Please ask your instructor to read that page, too. You will need to request a change of username, because group accounts are not permitted: more advice about that on your talk page. JohnCD (talk) 12:19, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Please edit the page to address the issues raised when it was declined, and re-submit it; "Articles for creation" is not for the indefinite hosting of material found to be unsuitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Read WP:Your first article for advice, and note that just being a political candidate does not count towards WP:Notability (see WP:POLITICIAN), and an article will not be accepted unless it is writtenfrom a WP:Neutral point of view.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jonathan Ball MBE.
If it is accepted that this article is more promotional than information, I need to edit it. I am happy to do this but request it be placed back for my review and edit. I have to say though Anthony Bradbury is wrong in concluding that because a legal case has a book attached it is more about the book. Intellectual Property Rights lawyers study Ball verus Eden and Ball versus Druces & Attlee and a book about the events surrounding the case, which takes only one paragraph of the entry on Jonathan Ball MBE is wholly informational.
thank you
Daniel Nanavati-Nanavati (talk) 14:37, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- Not done. @Nanavati and Anthony Bradbury: Besides containing fairly promotional content (the text, not because of any legal case; e.g. "X has given a lifetime commitment to his local community beyond..."; neutral encyclopedic articles don't make proclamations like this), this was a blatant copyright infringement of jonathan-ball.com. Please note that copyright is not avoided by making minor cosmetic changes such as changing pronouns, as was done here, e.g., changing "I co-wrote the RNLI" to "Ball co-wrote the RNLI..." See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Note that permission from the copyright owner to use his text is not what we would need for its use here (were it suitable for inclusion at all). For us to use someone's copyrighted text it must be released under a compatible free copyright license that allows anyone in the world to freely redistribute it even for commercial purposes (except, of course, for short quotes, marked as quotations). See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for how release is obtained.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 16:00, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Because this is the history of shefacebook and it does not violate any of the articles and not copied and codings. -Irufah (talk) 15:49, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- Not done You've already re-created it ... and it still doesn't meet Wikipedia's requires for notability. Please stop promoting in this manner DP 16:08, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
The article is about a legit product that is widely known in its domain and has been around for 6+ years. The article itself was 4-5 years old, with multiple contributors updating it. It looks like a targeted speedy deletion for no specific reason, as there are many products in the same area (project management) with less notoriety present on Wikipedia. If something in the article is not correct or has to be edited - that is a different subject, and the community can work on it. But speedy deletion is not a way to deal with old legit articles. -76.182.87.119 (talk) 16:26, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- Note: The page was speedily-deleted under criterion G11. Pages deleted under that criterion are generally not undeleted because they require complete rewrites to be viable encyclopedia articles or because they violate our biographical or fair-use policies. A G11 speedy means that the article was clearly promotional and would need a total rewrite to be a viable Wikipedia article. Note that the existence of articles covering similar topics is not a valid reason for inclusion. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 18:44, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Enter your reasoning here and then click the "Save page" button below -Phismith (talk) 18:04, 16 March 2014 (UTC) The article was deleted on the grounds of 'uncontroversial copyright violation' Parts of the article were indeed based on published material, but the copyright owner of both items mentioned in the justification for deletion was myself. I would be happy to provide permission for reuse if this is what is required, or to remove the copyrighted portions of text and replace them, as needed. In any case please if at all possible give me access to the text previously created, since many of the bibliographical items were not saved. With thanks Barry Smith (Redacted)
- Note: The page was speedily-deleted under criterion G12. Pages deleted under that criterion are generally not undeleted because they require complete rewrites to be viable encyclopedia articles or because they violate our biographical or fair-use policies. If it has been published anywhere else it is automatically fully-copyrighted unless explicitly stated otherwise, per the Berne Convention. I have also taken the liberty of redacting your email address - posting an email address on a site as widely viewed as Wikipedia is an invitation to be spammed. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 18:50, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- Not done. Copyright is a very serious issue for Wikipedia, and I am sure you will understand that we cannot restore copyrighted material, even temporarily, on the basis that someone on the end of a wire says it is OK. I will email the text to you if you enable email on your account. To do that, click on "Preferences" at the top of the screen, and at the bottom of the "User profile" tab enter your email address (which will not be visible to me or to spammers) and check the box marked "Enable email from other users".
- The way to make a copyright release is described at WP:Donating copyrighted materials, but I have some doubts whether this material would be acceptable under the Wikipedia:No original research policy. More about that on your talk page. JohnCD (talk) 23:11, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

The page was speedied while I was banned from wikipedia, so I could not contest (And I don't see I was notified of deletion either). Why the label covered even the Encyclopedia of the blues was deemed nonnotable, beats me. But anyway, it is bygones. Now I am requiesting to restore the article history, since I am sure my text has some other facts, absent in the recreated one. - Altenmann >t 00:20, 17 March 2014 (UTC) -- Altenmann >t 00:20, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
