• Overturn - 1) I question the qualification of ChrisO (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) to take an admin action because of his one-sided activism; 2) I don't see how the discussion and the vote at the AFD page suggest the deletion. ←Humus sapiens ^ну? 23:09, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I nominate to undelete because it's more than a temporary come-and-go-again "meme," which was the reason it was deleted. I recently saw a TV documentary about it, even though this event happened years ago.  Chantessy  12:11, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

• Reluctant endorse. I don't like the BLP rationale used by the delete side (and "not convicted?" neither was OJ) and would have been happy had this been decided the other way. Unfortunately, the result is not a violation of the discussion's consensus. Also, unless you can be more specific about what documentary you saw, we can't know if you saw a new documentary or a rerun. --Groggy Dice T | C 13:06, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Suburban Secrets, 2007.  Chantessy  13:32, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

• endorse per identical logic to that of Groggy Dice. If on the other hand sources can be produced indicating that the case was either discussed well after the matter was over or that the case had some form of long-term effects(say a new law passing or a substantial alteration to police procedures), then we will have grounds for overturning.

I've never done an undelete before, so what are you guys "endorsing" here?  Chantessy  17:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

When someone says "endorse" they are endorsing the last decision made - in this case the decision to delete. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 17:59, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

• Endorse deletion per valid AfD. A common crime with one unusual feature--that the accused had a LiveJournal. At this point, seems unlikely to remain a part of either criminal history or internet history. While the fact that she wasn't convicted is not in itself compelling reason to delete this, it does add weight to the already-solid reasoning against this having its own article.

• Overturn and relist Deleted against policy. There were many more unusual features, as a start, it was hardly a "common" crime: she was accused of killing her mother. Unreasonable following of consensus as opposed to policy is a reason to overturn. DGG (talk) 20:39, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Actually, it's normal to follow consensus instead of policy, that's one of our most basic foundations (see Wikipedia:Five pillars). Besides, no policy states we *must* have an article on this anyway: murdering a family member is unfortunatly not all that rare, and in any case she was aquitted even of that.

Moonpod

Moonpod (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)

Sufficient notability evidence exists (print articles) although was not cited in article. Speedy page deletion appears not to have been proposed by admin, so deletion review should be first port of call. Flumpaphone 11:14, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

• • Comment to nominator I don't quite understand your reasoning. The admin may not have proposed speedy deletion, but he carreid it out, and thereby approved it. The usual procedure is to attempt discussion with the deleting admin first -- it appears you didn't even notify the deleting admin. I have done so. I might add that I have found the particular deleting admin in this case to be receptive to discussing and reconsidering deletion decisions, although I have disagreed with him in at least some instances. DES ^(talk) 15:39, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Mistake on my part - confused nominator with admin. Thanks for the correction. - Flumpaphone

• Overturn and list -- Speedy delete WP:CSD#A7 importance or significance of Moonpod established with the statement in the article that, "Their first release, Starscape, won the coveted Game Tunnel 'Independent Game of the Year' award 2003." The Moonpod article has been around since 18 February 2006. AfD might be a better option. I don't think it should survive AfD's since the topic's lack of independent reliable sources makes it not notable. The only thing I could find on Moonpod (company) was Nava, Ahmed Kamal. (April 21, 2003) New Straits Times. Escape from alien's world. Page 21. (discussing Moonpod's game Starscape). There is something called Neff's Moonpods (2002), which I believe is artwork. The hallucinogenic/lethal seeds of the night-blooming moonflower are called "moonpods." In any event, the article should be given a five day review at AfD. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 12:06, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
• Overturn. Have partly maintained this article so have some vested interest. However believe should have time to respond to the 'significance' and 'notability' requirements with evidence that needs adding to the article before a permanent delete decision is reached. There is plenty of circumstantial (though outside WP notability guidelines) evidence available by googling 'Moonpod' and the general fact of the number of indie games companies on WP (reason which prompted article creation) - unless of course they are considered for deletion based on notability. Though there are plenty of 'hard copy' articles that fit wikipedia's guidlelines: Edge Magazine quoting company founder Mark Featherstone (sorry, cannot find issue yet), Mr. Robot featuring in PC Format 2007 awards. (relatively) high scores (8-9) of Moonpod's games in print publications. - Flumpaphone
• Overturn As Jreferee says, the award mention alone was clearly an assertion of significance sufficient that an A7 speedy deelte was improper. What might happen at an AfD and how the article might be edited during an AfD is hard to predict, and DRV shouldn't try. I don't understand why an admin speedy deleted this in this state. DES ^(talk) 15:33, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
• Comment I will restore it, although the editor who brought it here never even bothered to notify me, so these further sources can be added, but (a) the "award" is a red-link (not apparently notable enough), and (b) how this meets WP:CORP was and is not discussed, such as ghits etc. of non WP:RSes, but this can happen at Afd just as easily. Carlossuarez46 19:54, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
  • I have no idea if this awared is truly notable or not, but I cautuion that it is risky to asume that anything that is a redslink is therefore established to be non-notable. Lots of notable topics we haven't gotten to yet. DES ^(talk) 20:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I uploaded an image and provided source, licensing information, and detailed fair use rationale. The reasons given for immediate deletion of the image were AP photos are blatant copyvio and AP photos are not fair-use. The article in which the image was used now is at AfD and the admin who deleted the image has participated significantly in that AfD. I do not believe that immediate deletion of the image was appropriate, particularly in view of the detailed fair use rationale provided for the image's use. I would like a review of this matter. Since the image may affect the AfD, I ask for a speedy restoration of the image while this DRV is going on if that is an appropriate action. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 11:09, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

• Endorse deletion and deny temp. restoration. While it isn't necessarily true that AP photos are always copyright violations, this photo should extremely easy to replace. Buy one of the t-shirts and take a picture of it. Of course, the photo of the student is less easy to replicate, but that is not the primary focus of the fair use claim for the deleted image. By focusing the fair use rationale primarily on a t-shirt, an inanimate object easily photographed, the up-loader made a mistake. The fact that the article is headed for deletion -- for reasons of sourcing, not lack of image -- doesn't help the request. Xoloz 13:40, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

• Although your !Vote does not support overturning the deletion, your reasoning supports my request that the fair use claim for the deleted image should be reviewed at IfD, not speedy deletion. Since the image is delete, it does not allow editors to verify your statement that the fair use rationale focused primarily on a t-shirt, which would not be a basis for speedy deletion even if true. The argument that a photo of the specific T-shirt and person wearing the T-shirt who both were the subject of the Federal lawsuit taken seven years ago at a time when the Federal law suit was ongoing is a replaceable image at seven years after the event is something that should be addressed at IfD, not through speedy deletion. Also, the deletion of the Straight pride article after a three day AfD and a one day review of the significant sourced changes to that article should not play into whether it was correct to speedy delete the image, especially since there are hundreds of reliable source material from which to develop the Straight pride article. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 20:08, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

• You have a point regarding the "straight pride" article -- you should definitely consider a DRV nomination for it. However, at this point, I don't see much of argument for restoring the image to satisfy process requirements. Any IfD on this image that begins within the next five days would be distracted by the question of whether the parent article should exist. Contrary to your final assertion, I see no reasonable encyclopedic use for this image outside of the "straight pride" context. The image's utility to WP depends on the article's existence.

• endorse deletion per Xoloz. JoshuaZ 14:46, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
