The Miracle of Geneva (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)

Closing admin closed as delete after only one day (rather than the customary five) claiming WP:SNOW applied, whereas it absolutely did not. WP:SNOW states that "If an issue doesn't even have a snowball's chance in hell of getting an unexpected outcome from a certain process, then there is no need to run it through that process." The article in question had a good chance of getting what the closing admin believes to be an "unexpected outcome" (keep), as there clearly was not a consensus to delete after a day of discussions on the AfD. Also many of the "delete" arguments are flawed in that the users only wanted to change or remove the title of the article, not the content.

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

I had the entry on Reductio deleted for copyright violation from the Reductio website (http://reductiotest.org/). I own the copyright to this website so I simply thought I'd copy some of the informative text to Wikipedia, but after reading around, I learned that I must release this text under the GFDL, which is fine by me and I have done exactly this. This can be confirmed by observing the reference to GFDL on all pages of the website at hand. Please restore the contents of the Reductio article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dibblego (talkcontribs) 03:50, June 18, 2008 (UTC)

Please restore the article to User:Geaugagrrl/sandbox so I can work on it to attempt to address the problems that led to deletion. Many thanks ∞☼Geaugagrrl(T)/(C) 12:23, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment agreed. But it can still be put in the sandbox as a starting point for the editor to get up to quality, right?--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:56, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How can I see the page history? What evidence of copyright is needed? Who was the original contributor? Thanks. ∞☼Geaugagrrl(T)/(C) 13:53, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
National Express West Midlands route 283 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)

Or any other area. the articles in question also include National Express West Midlands route 82 and 87 Dudleybusplease talkwith the UK Transport Wiki 11:03, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support my own decision. This is one of a myriad articles about non-notable company bus routes. This is the kind of trainspotting fancruft that should be in the UK Transport Wiki, not in Wikipedia. If anything, there should probably be a mass AfD for the entire mess of them; I only deleted the first couple I ran across. It would be absurd to say there shouldn't be an article about transport in Brum; but there shouldn't be an article about route 283, for the same reason there shouldn't be an article about bus route 19 in Milwaukee; all such articles are speediable under A7, to my way of thinking. --Orange Mike | Talk 12:45, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

various cure album covers

I've noticed that several cure albums are missing cover images. Apparently, the fair use rationals weren't filled out, and it was easier to just delete than to correct the problem. However, the rationales should be fairly obvious (just like every other album), some of these are limited editions which would be difficult to replace, and the replacements would be identical anyway. So I'd like to request these images be undeleted to fix this hole in our coverage:
