Wikipedia talk:Deletion review/Log/2020 September 5

I'll get at least a couple of these per day. Restore-a-lot isn't an issue; the images need to be put back into their articles, or they immediately become speedy deletion candidates (with a 7-day delay). Care also has to be taken to either not restore old versions of the file, or to immediately revdelete them.

I'll also likely re-FFD some, though not immediately; while my threshold for WP:NFCC#8 is much lower than your average FFD regular's, I doubt that the one I just restored that's used in a gallery and has no more sourced commentary than "As the <new organization name>, it adopted a new logo in 2007" will be the last. —Cryptic 23:20, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cryptic: can you undelete a few, 10 or so, for me? As the Dutch say, "vele handen maken licht werk". (literal translation: many hands make light work)

Pinging @Govvy, GiantSnowman, Ymblanter, Black Kite Pinging @Davey2010, Mazca, Awesome Aasim, Swarm, Masem if you adopt a few as well this'll be done in no time. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 00:21, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, I can't anymore, because User:DESiegel mass-undeleted all of them without restoring them to articles, redeleting old revisions, or even removing the FFD tags. —Cryptic 00:42, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Or talk pages. What a clusterfuck. —Cryptic 00:48, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've gotten the old revisions, and the ffd tags, and the talk pages. Restored to articles up to and including File:PHXold.svg (plus maybe a scattering of others that were on the same articles, though I think I caught up to them all). I'll trudge through the rest tomorrow; I saw this literally on my way to bed. —Cryptic 02:07, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have done five more, up to and including File:Whalers 10th Anniversary Logo.png--Ymblanter (talk) 06:39, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies Cryptic, Ymblanter, and others. Thank you for cleaning up. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 14:03, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cryptic: Thanks for bringing attention to this. Restore-a-lot was made to undelete pages, nothing more, but I agree that associated talk pages should be restored as well. Unfortunately, this would be somewhat complicated (though not impossible) to fix on the script level. (it would be easier for *just* English I guess) I opened Restore/delete associated talk page (API) on Phabricator to request a function for this in the API. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 23:26, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
