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 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, restored as a draft 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. Copyright violations and attack pages will not be provided at all.
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 in the template or on your talk page. Please do not request that articles deleted under speedy deletion criteria A7 or G11 be undeleted here.
Note that requests for undeletion are 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. |

James R. Fitzgerald
Speedy deletion bot mindlessly detected identical text from a legal document pertaining to a case wherein the subject of the page (James R. Fitzgerald) testified as an expert witness. The text was James Fitzgerald's CV, as CVs and other information pertaining to the qualifications of expert witnesses are a matter of record. The court document cited as the source is also *not* the origin of the text in question, but rather includes it as a reference. In other words, the supposed 'source' is itself a copy-paste of the CV provided by James Fitzgerald to the court in order to establish his credentials as an expert witness, as is standard practice. In sum, the page seems to have been deleted for 'infringing' on a 'source' that was in reality just a reference to a document that is not subject to copyright in the first place. There is simply no copyright violation here because there is (a) no copyright in question, and (b) the supposed source detected by the bot *is not the source*. Furthermore, content from the CV is used with clear, verifiable permission from James R. Fitzgerald. If this article is to be deleted, I would like to know what the specific source is that is being infringed as well as how it is a copyright issue in the first place. —Jlw280 (talk) 21:23, 7 August 2017 (UTC) Jlw280 (talk) 21:23, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
- Some points:
- I don't know of any instance where a CV is considered a public domain document.
- While federal court rulings are considered public domain, it isn't clear to me that this applies to civil district court rulings, which is what this is.
- Fitzgerald may have given the court permission to reproduce that document, but I see no evidence that he released it into the public domain or under an acceptable free license.
- As such, Fitzgerald has not given the Wikimedia Foundation permission to reproduce the material.
- The website it's hosted on claims in the footer a copyright "2017 NOLA Media Group" with a very clear notice that "The material on this site may not be reproduced, distributed, transmitted, cached or otherwise used, except with the prior written permission of NOLA Media Group." Has this permission been granted to the Wikimedia Foundation?
- Sorry, while I agree with the logic of your argument, I cannot agree that deleting as a copyvio was a clear-cut error. Maybe restoring it without the CV material? ~Anachronist (talk) 21:50, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
- I think some of these points are covered by the fact that (a) any claim to copyright ownership of Mr. Fitzgerald's CV by "NOLA Media Group" or the Civil District Court of Orleans, Louisiana would be preposterous, because (b) neither the website nor the court document is the source. The CV is not the property of that Website or the aforementioned civil court. The CV exists independent of both the court record and "NOLA Media Group". It was given to me by the subject himself as personal correspondence.
- If anything, "NOLA Media Group" is violating Mr. Fitzgerald's IP rights by reproducing his CV and making it available to the public without his permission. A website can't just claim rights to someone's CV or resume by publishing a document including it as a reference. Speedy deletion bot did its job, but what it detected in this instance is clearly not a copyright violation.
- Thanks for getting back to me on this! (Sorry for all of the edits to this. I'm new :/)
- Jlw280 (talk) 00:50, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
- Since you didn't write the text yourself we would need evidence that the copyright holder has made the text available under the licence that Wikipedia uses. Otherwise we'll have to assume you are violating copyright. You said above that you have permission from the copyright holder, but I'm afraid that just saying that isn't sufficient as evidence, as you could be anybody and you haven't supplied any evidence. To use the content you would have to follow these instructions to prove you have permission. I suggest you just rewrite the article without using the copyrighted material, as it would need substantial rewriting anyway. (Wikipedia articles aren't CVs, so content copied verbatim from CVs doesn't fit very well.) Hut 8.5 06:50, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback! I think I will just rewrite it after all, as Hut 8.5 suggested. Doing so will make it a better Wikipedia article, anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlw280 (talk • contribs) 00:52, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Please see WP:PAID for details. Please get into compliance, then contact me or re-request here, and we can restore the article to draft space, not main space. Editors with a conflict of interest, like you have, should be using Wikipedia:Articles for creation to submit draft articles for review, not creating them directly in main article space. ~Anachronist (talk) 18:00, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

The Lexicon
There was no advertising material present on the page at all. The page was based on a shopping centre. I didn't include any advertising at all. This is the first Wikipedia page I have made, and so would appreciate any advise on how to ensure this no longer happens. —BracknellSince85 (talk) 08:40, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
- @BracknellSince85: Not done – this page was deleted as a blatant advertisement under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion and Wikipedia is not to be used as a vehicle for promotion. This does not necessarily mean a suitable article on this topic cannot be created. If it is a notable topic, e.g., multiple reliable, secondary, published sources that are entirely independent of the subject have written about it in substantive detail (not just mere mentions), then a neutrally written article may be possible. This one was written like a commercial.
- More specifically, your use of unsubstantiated puffery words like "excellent" and "state of the art", and the overall presentation that reads like a company brochure, clearly indicates that the article was created for the purpose of publicity or promotion. Also, please see WP:PAID and comply with it, if you are associated with The Lexicon, you must disclose it.
- Furthermore, if you have an association with The Lexicon, you have a conflict of interest. See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for more guidance. As an editor with a conflict of interest, you shouldn't create and edit articles in the main article space directly. It is preferable for you to create the article in your sandbox or in draft space, and submit it for review via Wikipedia:Articles for creation before it can be published in main space.
- Once you publicly disclose your association per WP:PAID (or if you are not receiving compensation, disclose your conflict of interest), we can restore the article to draft space for you to work on. You may contact me once you've made that disclosure. ~Anachronist (talk) 18:10, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
Hi. Would you be able to undelete it, and I will remove words such as "excellent" and "state of the art" please?
I also have no association with The Lexicon. I am just a local resident. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BracknellSince85 (talk • contribs) 16:05, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
- @BracknellSince85: I have restored the article to draft space. Please work on improving Draft:The Lexicon and submit it for review using the button in the gray box at the top. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:48, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
Christopher Freeze
Could you please undelete, or move my draft space, the just-deleted Christopher Freeze article. I put a lot of work into improving the content and referencing of the original deleted version I found, and would like to continue developing it some more, as it was my first article and the guy seems to be notable. Thank you for your time and consideration. Mrg00dbar (talk) 16:31, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Mrg00dbar: because the most recent deletion constituted an agreement by an administrator that your version probably wasn't different enough from the previously deleted version, I'm reluctant to override the deletion decision without a response from the deleting administrator. Please contact the deleting admin Spinningspark (talk · contribs) and ask if he's OK with restoring the article to draft space for further improvement. I can see that you did a good amount of work on it, so I think you have a good case. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:07, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
- I already have reached out with no response. I would be content with restoration to a draft space, and am glad you recognize the improvements. Mrg00dbar (talk) 17:12, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
- That was only an hour before the response above. So please give them a chance! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:48, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
- 48 hours, and no response for the original admin. Mrg00dbar (talk) 15:52, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
- I've put it into draft space, but this probably should go back to AFD for reconsideration if it comes back to mainspace more or less as it is. SpinningSpark 22:54, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

User:Morty_C-137/SPI-Case (2nd request)
Deletion was inappropriate and done in a manner calculated to harass. I was CURRENTLY working on that material. —Morty C-137 (talk) 18:56, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
- You cannot work on that type of material over the course of months. It's usually allowed only over the course of 1-2 weeks. I tried to blank it, so you had temporary access to the history, but you reverted that. I'll undelete temporarily, for a few minutes, so you can copy everything offline. But then I'm redeleting. --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:00, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
- I provided you the diff of an admin saying otherwise, but you'd prefer to beat me up. Now I see why admins are considered suck stuck up jerks on wikipedia. Morty C-137 (talk) 19:05, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Morty C-137: if you want this restored then I suggest you go to deletion review. This deletion is actually out of process as the given reason is not one of the criteria for speedy deletion, this kind of material should be dealt with at WP:MFD rather than through a single admin deleting the page. I think it's quite likely that the page would be deleted if sent to MFD though. Hut 8.5 19:38, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
- This page is covered both by WP:POLEMIC (a policy), and WP:CSD#G10 (a speedy deletion criterion that references WP:ATP, a slightly different but essentially similar policy page). I referenced the first policy in the deletion log, kind of assuming the link to G10 was clear, but if that's too lazy and if it helps in dotting the i's and crossing the t's, consider it deleted per WP:CSD#G10. We generally haven't considered short-term compilation of evidence an attack page, but they aren't allowed to linger in user space for a long time; in this case over a month, plus a week since its undeletion. From WP:ATP: "keeping a "list of enemies" or "list of everything bad user:XXX did" on your user space is neither constructive nor appropriate". If it's going to take a long time to compile evidence, that should be done offline. Morty now has this material offline if he chooses to use it. If an admin thinks WP:POLEMIC/WP:CSD#G10/WP:ATP doesn't apply here, they can certainly undelete (I'll say as much at ANI in a moment). Or ditto if Morty wants to take it to WP:DELREV instead. But it pretty clearly qualifies to me. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:46, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
- I agree this material isn't appropriate in userspace, at least not in the long term, but I think it would have been better to send it to WP:MFD instead of speedily deleting it. That is what usually happens for pages alleged to have violated POLEMIC (which is a guideline, not a policy). I think that arguing that it's an attack page is a little dubious, pages such as SPIs are not considered attack pages if filed in good faith so a draft of one won't be an attack page either. Plus if it is an attack page then the timescales are irrelevant and we shouldn't have waited a month to delete it. The author has now filed an SPI using some of the information on the page, so this is now moot. Hut 8.5 21:10, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
- That's covered in WP:ATP too "However, this policy is not usually meant to apply to requests for comment, requests for mediation, and similar processes". POLEMIC and ATP are basically saying very similar things, it's just one is clearly referenced in G10 and one isn't. My experience is different, I've seen pages like this speedied several times before (sometimes while an MFD is in progress), but it probably won't shock anyone that sometimes similar things are handled in different ways on WP, so I don't doubt you're right that you often see these go to MFD. If you think ATP (and therefore G10) doesn't apply, feel free to undelete, I trust your judgement. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:19, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
- It's mostly a moot point now but a lot of hurt feelings could have been avoided if Floquenbeam had so much as left a message on my talk page or a decent explanation somewhere instead of expecting me to read their mind when they blanked the page and gave no explanation at all that would make sense to anyone. Morty C-137 (talk) 21:21, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
- I think a pretty good case can be made that when in the past various editors have tried to discuss things with you your responses have ranged from aggressive to insulting. Also, you did get an explanation. It was posted in your recent ANI case.
- Why do you feel that this material must be where other editors can read it? When I gather evidence, I keep it in a text file on my computer. If I need to work on formatting, I paste it to my sandbox, edit it until it looks right, then save it to my text file and leave the sandbox without saving. Is there any reason why you cannot do the same? --Guy Macon (talk) 07:24, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
- Go away. You know you only posted that garbage to harass me. Morty C-137 (talk) 12:21, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

@Floquenbeam: @Guy Macon: The proper place for this page is as one of the many sub-pages of Wikipedia:Long-term abuse. It needs to be trimmed significantly to be in line with the guidelines described on Wikipedia:Long-term abuse (specifically be careful not to include too much evidence), but in my opinion, that's where it belongs, not user space. Any objection to restoring it to a sub-page there? ~Anachronist (talk) 17:32, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
- I disagree. The contents of this page have now been copied to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Cjhard, so it no longer needs to be restored. From what I understand at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Cjhard, no one has definitively shown that this editor is linked to an LTA. If it is eventually proven (I really have no idea whether it will be or not), then the SPI would probably stand on its own, but if it is standard procedure to save this as an LTA subpage after the SPI closes (I don't think it is, but I could be wrong), then I wouldn't object. But that would probably be an SPI clerk who does it, not you or me. And anyway, then the material would probably be copied over from the SPI. There are other possible actions (f.ex if Cjhard is not an LTA, maybe some of this info could be added to an LTA page about the LTAs who are pestering Morty, scrubbed of Cjhard's name), but we should wait for the SPI to conclude before trying to do so. --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:47, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
- I would have no objections to that, but would advise waiting until the open SPI case closes. --Guy Macon (talk) 17:47, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
How has User:Morty C-137 created so much drama and gathered so much evidence in 4 months? This isn't a problem that resolves itself with a deleted page nor is it a problem typically seen with brand new users. --DHeyward (talk) 23:15, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Cjhard has now been closed: "Checkuser finds nothing interesting connecting Cjhard with any of these accounts or with any problematic accounts at all." Meanwhile Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Attack page? is still open. I suggest that this be closed any further comments be made there. --Guy Macon (talk) 11:26, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

rich riley
He is CEO of a popular app (Shazam) used by hundreds of millions of people around the world, and executive producer of a popular TV show (Beat Shazam), among many other credits; he also had a Wiki page for many years without incident —Nikolaievans (talk) 15:55, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
- Not done, nothing to undelete. Rich Riley is currently a redirect, and if you go to that redirect, all the history is there. It was converted to a redirect due to WP:BLP1E, and a subsequent request by an editor with a conflict of interest, archived at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2016_December 5, was also denied. You also seem to be a single purpose account; what is your association with Mr. Riley? ~Anachronist (talk) 17:23, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply. I'm actually not at all associated with him, but I am a reporter who was doing some research on him and was shocked to see that he didn't have a Wiki page when I checked here for the basics. I've seen it and referred to it several times in the past so I was surprised to not see it here and hoping to use it as a baseline for info on him. I also actually think he is not just notable for a single event, especially with the Beat Shazam show and other things in the past. To be honest, I signed up just to request undeletion and got through the process, as I thought it had been deleted. It would be a very helpful page for me and other reporters or...really any tech industry people. Is there any way to simply restore it?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikolaievans (talk • contribs) 17:51, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
- Every edit ever made to that article is available in the history of the redirect page: https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Rich_Riley&action=history
- Keeping in mind that notability is not inherited (that is, just because he produced a notable TV show doesn't mean he is notable too), feel free to pick one of those versions and expand on it if you feel that he's notable for more than just one thing. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:05, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexicable
I am requesting the restoration of this article since it discussed a public transport system in Mexico City´s metropolitan area. This was a page I was working on, and it is important that Wikipedia displays the information about this system, because people might be interested in its history, characteristics and other information in order to use this transport, specially because it was in spanish, which is the language of people that most likely would be interested in this page. According to user "Alelapenya" it was a "vanity page", which I must disagree (this user's profile seems to have a history of previous disputes regarding the elimination of other pages). I don't know the user reasons to consider it under this category, perhaps it was because it metioned the politicians that attended the inaugural event of the "Mexicable" (something I did not add). If this was the case, I think deleting the whole article was an exaggeration, since this user could have deleted just the sentence referring to the politicians (something I would be fine with).The dismissal of other valuable contributions in that page because of a small mistake seems outrageous to me. If the "vanity page" accusation was not because of the politicians, then its removal is even more absurd. I hope this is resolved soon and that, whatever the answer is, it turns out to be the best for the Wikipedia community. —Aninonimo (talk) 16:25, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

One of the reasons cited for deletion of the page was that the label was using the page as a promotional vehicle, it merely listed it's back catalogue as many record label pages do. If this is an unacceptable format it should have been requested that it was changed.
Houndstooth is a record label from fabric Records, the label has a Wikipedia discography page and the club has also has it's own Wikipedia page. A number of the artists on the label have their own Wikipedia pages.
Houndstooth has been in existence for 4 1/2 years, releasing some notable albums in the electronic music world. The sites discussed that it had been given credit by include Resident Advisor the worlds's leading electronic music site. Being voted label of the month is a very high honour, that only 12 labels a year receive, given the hundreds of labels in existence this should be given far more credit than was disputed. Other sites including Tiny Mix Tapes, Dazed, Dummy and XLR8R are all significant sites in the music industry.
