Hi, I'm Kizule, and I would like to request the undeletion of this [[WP:Drafts|draft]] deleted under [[WP:CSD#G13|CSD G13]]. Please restore the page so that I can make edits to it. Thank you. [[User:Kizule|Kizule]] ([[User talk:Kizule|talk]]) 20:44, 6 June 2022 (UTC) |
Revision as of 20:44, 6 June 2022
Requests for undeletion is a process intended to assist users in two cases. The first case is restoring pages or files that were uncontroversially deleted via proposed deletion, under certain speedy deletion criteria (such as maintenance deletions (G6) or stale Articles for creation drafts (G13)), or in deletion debates with little or no participation other than the nominator. In the second use case, this page is also intended to serve as a central location to request that deleted content be "userfied", i.e., restored as a draft or emailed to you; this way, 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 – through deletion processes – may in some cases be provided to you, but such controversial page deletions will not be overturned through this process but through deletion review instead. Copyright violations and attack pages will not be provided.
Do not request that pages deleted under speedy deletion criteria F7, F9, F11, U5, A7, A9, A11, G3, G4, G10, G11 or G12 be undeleted here.
Instructions for special cases:
- G13. Abandoned Drafts and Articles for creation submissions – see Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion/G13 for instructions.
- For JavaScript .js or .css pages, please request on the Wikipedia:Interface administrators' noticeboard.

Claude Marcel
The Proposed Deletion didn't identify anything specifically wrong with the content of the article. It might be taken as suggesting that the article was a vanity page, but Marcel seems to be a genuinely notable figure: for example he features in the two relatively recent journal articles listed below.
Tickoo, Makhan L. (June 1982). "JAMES HAMILTON AND C.V.A. MARCEL: A REVIEW OF LANGUAGE TEACHING IN THE 1820's". World Englishes. 1 (4): 174–178. doi:10.1111/j.1467-971X.1982.tb00495.x. Retrieved 24 May 2022.
Smith, Richard (18 July 2013). "Claude Marcel (1793–1876): A Neglected Applied Linguist?". Language & History. 52 (2): 171–181. doi:10.1179/175975309X452058. Retrieved 24 May 2022..
Thank you for looking into this. RW Dutton (talk) 01:39, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- The article was deleted 10 years back and did not cite any references, and may have to undergo a major rewrite. Do you want it restored in draftspace instead? Jay (talk) 05:58, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- @RW Dutton: still waiting for you to tell us if you want this to become a draft. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:14, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delay. I'd rather the full article were restored, if possible. I'll quickly cut it down to a stub with citations, but if the old article text is in the article history it's less likely to get lost and forgotten, and bits of it can probably be returned to the article over time when references are found.
- Also, I've just found Professor Richard Smith's PhD dissertation https://era.ed.ac.uk/handle/1842/6750 , and it provides a reliable source for quite a few of the original article's claims about Marcel, for example his Legion of Honour. RW Dutton (talk) 12:15, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
Restored. @RW Dutton: as I'm not sure if you know how WP:Drafts work, restoring to draft also would have brought back the old article text into the article history, so there is no difference really, except that in mainspace now, you'll have to work quickly to avoid the article getting deleted. Jay (talk) 12:24, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Fore School Of Management
This is regarding the deletion of the page of ‘FORE School of Management’ from the platform. We request you to kindly reconsider your decision for this page. It is an authentic source of information for students. They rely on this page for information related to this management institute.
We appeal to you to kindly help us understand the problematic sections of the page that raise a question mark on its credibility. If needed, we can also provide trustworthy citations to support the existence, authenticity, and factual accuracy of the information furnished on this page with respect to this management college.
Looking forward to your response." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Architgupta2323 (talk • contribs) 05:36, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
Not done. As per the WP:Articles for deletion/Fore School of Management (2nd nomination), the article was deleted as it failed to satisfy notabiliy of organizations or companies. See WP:NCORP for the criteria. It you feel the subject is notable and should not have been deleted, you may contact the deleting admin or go to WP:Deletion review with your reasoning. Also, note that repeated use of "we" may imply that multiple people are sharing your user account. User accounts are for individual use and cannot be shared (WP:Username policy#Usernames implying shared use). Jay (talk) 07:25, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Jay,
- I'm not able to reach out admin. Could you please help me with how to contact with deleting admin @Star Mississippi? Architgupta2323 (talk) 10:04, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- Post a message at her talk page - User talk:Star Mississippi. Jay (talk) 10:40, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks @Jay. @Architgupta2323 this has been deleted twice now. I will not be restoring it as the arguments you provided indicate you're not familiar with the role of Wikipedia articles, and you have not indicated that the conclusion was incorrect. You're welcome to file a Deletion Review if you believe my closure was in error. Star Mississippi 13:23, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, I would like to request the undeletion of Fore School of Management, deleted under CSD G13. Please restore the Fore School of Management page so that I can make edits to it, and will make sure that supporting with accurate information and rigid sources. I request you to kindly provide me with a protected page so that no one can make changes and add untrue information. Earlier, my competitors also made many changes and provided incorrect information. Architgupta2323 (talk) 06:08, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
- The draft was only a redirect to the deleted article, so no reason to restore it. And Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit, so we try to avoid preemptive protection. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:13, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
- You have been told above that the route to have this restored is WP:DRV. Please do so if you feel the close was in error, but it will not work if you simply want it to promote the school to students. Please also declare your Conflict of Interest as required. Star Mississippi 13:50, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
- I have duly noted your feedback and suggestions to bolster notability of the deleted page in question. In this context, please allow me to share links for “FORE School of Management” that manifests the credibility of the page. In addition, I will provide further links to support the integrity of the deleted page for your ease of reference. I would be grateful for an opportunity to mitigate the gaps as per Wikipedia guideline and therefore request you to kindly restore the deleted page so that the appropriate changes can be implemented. @Star Mississippi Architgupta2323 (talk) 05:16, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Architgupta2323 as I said, I will not be restoring the page. You're welcome to work on it in draft space if you agree to submit it for neutral review via AFC. Let me know if you agree and I will restore the draft Star Mississippi 13:36, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, if you restore the draft and I put the correct information as per Wikipedia along with rigid citations, will you consider it, and is there any chance to restore the page? Could you please help me with how can I restore this page with WP:DRV? @Star Mississippi 43.247.41.226 (talk) 17:15, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
- Architgupta2323, you may have edited without logging in to Wikipedia, it does not show your name but an IP address in the signature. Did you go through the helpful links from the Welcome message on your talk page? See Help:Your first article#Create your draft on how drafts can become articles or the WP:AFC process. You have been informed 3 times by now to go to WP:DRV ONLY IF YOU FEEL the article's deletion by the admin was an error. Given your limited understanding of Wikipedia, I doubt if you can argue that on Deletion review. I would suggest you start working on the draft once it is restored in draftspace. Jay (talk) 17:56, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
- Against my better judgement, it is here Draft:Fore School of Management. The main article is protected against creation until a neutral reviewer and/or DRV accepts it. Star Mississippi 01:25, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Vivaldi (TV series)
Soft deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vivaldi (TV series). I don't know why the article was originally deleted. I can work at providing better sources given time. I would ask it to be undeleted for me to do so. I'm a part-time user and did not notice this nomination. —Shparhtahn (talk) 18:12, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- As you need time to improve the article, would you rather want to do it in draftspace so that it is not nominated for deletion again with the same reasons as before? Jay (talk) 05:54, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Spartan: awaiting your response. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:12, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for getting back to me. I appreciate it. I suppose I could do that, not sure how to do that but I can figure it out. Thanks again for your time. Shparhtahn (talk) 16:31, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
Draftified – the page has been restored to the draft space at Draft:Vivaldi (TV series). Jay (talk) 16:52, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
Chosen Effect
Soft deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chosen Effect.LiterateFactChecker (talk) 16:46, 29 May 2022 (UTC) This article should have never been put up for deletion as this is an accomplished entertainer. For almost a decade this article has been on Wikipedia. I have been actively working to improve upon it which the article's history will show and will continue to remain dedicated to doing so. This article documents this person's life's work and deserves to live on Wikipedia as much as anyone else. Instead of deleting I would ask others to assist me in making this article better so this person's accomplishments and story can live on for others to discover, isn't that the point of Wikipedia.
- WP:INVOLVED admin here: I have no regrets about nominating this for deletion and I'm disappointed that Star Mississippi soft deleted this rather than "hard deleting" or relisting. Quality of the deleted article is so poor that I recommend restoring this to draft space, not article space. If it's back in article space, I'll nominate it for deletion again. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:24, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- I strongly disagree with you and could easily point out multiple articles from similar entertainers written in the same vain. Also if the issues are being addressed which I have been proactively doing why are you already stating you will nominate it for deletion? I have no idea why you are so determined to delete someone else's legacy so badly. LiterateFactChecker (talk) 17:46, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- Because the subject isn't notable. Please point out those other articles
written in the same vain
. If they're not notable, I'll nominate them too. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:48, 29 May 2022 (UTC)- Not notable to you but notable to me which is why I am putting the research and time in to assure it it improved upon so the 2 issues that were left to sort out are. LiterateFactChecker (talk) 18:11, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- if you want others to help you improve it, I'm happy to draftify it @LiterateFactChecker as I said in my close, but I agree with @Muboshgu that if it goes to mainspace it will likely be immediately re-nominated. @Muboshgu I knew a soft consensus wouldn't stand, and AfD is utterly flooded right now with the remains of the TV AfDs. I didn't think relisting would be helpful. Happy to revert my close and leave it for someone else, but I think keeping it out of mainspace until there are BLP compliant sourcing indicating notability would be the best path. Let me know how you'd like to proceed. Star Mississippi 00:27, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
- Star Mississippi, that makes sense as for why you didn't relist it. I don't patrol AfD. I'd say the best way to proceed is draftify, as you suggested in your close. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:38, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
- @MuboshguI'd say save your sanity and don't <g> but it's good most of the year. Like many consensus driven areas (I think I've seen you at ITN? so I know you know this overall issue) we just don't have the participation on a general day, and when it's heavy volume none of us have the spoons to weigh in on all the conversations we'd like to. @LiterateFactChecker let me know if you'd like it as a draft and I'll do so. Star Mississippi 00:42, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
- I'm an avowed deletionist, so I think I'd be biased towards that whenever the consensus isn't obvious. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:38, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Star Mississippi sorry for the late reply only just seen this. Question is Draftify the same as Userfying? LiterateFactChecker (talk) 18:05, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @LiterateFactChecker it's moot as @Graeme Bartlett restored it to maispace, but draft would be in Draft:Chosen Effect whereas userfied would be something like User:LiterateFactChecker/Chosen Effect. Generally folks don't edit articles in others' userspace whereas collaboration is welcome in draft space. Star Mississippi 18:38, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Star Mississippi Thank you for clarification. I seem to be fighting a loosing battle to rescue this persons article from deletion despite suggesting alternate solutions to deletion such as improving upon the article or merging which is suggested to do so by Wikipedia. LiterateFactChecker (talk) 19:04, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- this is a challenge faced when consensus is fairly clear that the artist isn't notable. But you're welcome to keep adding sourcing Star Mississippi 19:24, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Purshottam Lal
Subject: Request for review of the deletion decision dated 26 April 2022 of Mr Sandstein- Case of Purshottam Lal
Dear Reviewing Authority,
(1) The Article on me - Purshottam Lal- created by Ms Sneha and approved by Wikipedia for publication on 27 January 2022 was deleted under the orders of Mr Sandstein ( herein after referred to as the deleting administrator , or DA in short) dated 26 April 2022 following a deletion discussion lasting 2 weeks. The final order said that there was lack of notability and not enough secondary sources.
(2) Normally, the creator of the page-Ms Sneha-should have made the review petition. However, since she is blocked for reasons presumably nothing to do with the Article on me, she cannot communicate , and hence this review request by me.
(3) As per advice on Wikipedia site , I first took up the matter with the DA and sent him a note on 20th May 2022 on his Talk Page. He very kindly responded and wrote : "Mr. Lal, consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Purshottam Lal was that there is not enough significant coverage about you in reliable secondary sources that are independent of you. That is needed for an article about you. Could you please read our guideline page WP:BIO and then tell me what the three best pieces of such coverage about you are? Sandstein 17:23, 20 May 2022 (UTC)"
(4) Thus, in his response, he did not mention the " notability " aspect which was the main reason for deletion.
(5) Since three independent References had been asked for and since most of my work as a writer and as a police officer had taken place in pre-internet era, I searched for feedback and comments of READERS of my articles in the print media since 1992 ( the year I started my writing endeavour ; more than 115 articles have since appeared in important newspapers, and four books published , all released by two different Governors of Punjab state ), and also newspaper reports of my work as a senior police officer , and after scanning them , sent the same to the DA on 25 May 2022 in PDF format, uploaded on Wikimedia. It , inter-alia, contained 31 feedbacks in respect of 20 articles of mine. I requested the DA to allow me to include these or some of them as References in the Article if more independent References were required. Similar request was made in respect of References for police work. I had the impression that the Wikipedia's first efforts are to retain the Article by making improvement etc if possible. However, the DA finally replied on 26 May 2022 vide which he did not touch upon this aspect at all, and commented that the three most important References mentioned by me in the deleted Article were not sufficient to justify an Article on me.
(6) I understand AfD (Article for Deletion )is concerned with the substance of the Article whereas DR ( Deletion Review ) is concerned with the process by which the decision was reached.
(7) The following breaches of due process took place in my case which deserve consideration .
(A) During the deletion discussion , the creator of the Article , Ms Sneha, was not allowed to participate on the ground that she had been blocked. In fact, two posts made by her from her mobile data ( which was not blocked at that time, since only her IP address was blocked ) giving clarifications on points raised by certain esteemed members of the Wikipedia community were struck off. Thus, the creator of the Article, went totally unrepresented and unheard. This is a breach of the principles of natural justice and fair play. At least, for this case, her block should have been removed so that her view point could also have been available for consideration.
(B) Mr Bonadea started the deletion discussion on 11 April 2022. He later blocked IPA address of Ms Sneha, creator of the Article, for the so-called sock-puppeting . When she put her viewpoints - twice- during the discussion through her mobile data, Mr Bonadea blocked her mobile data connectivity, too. He also struck off posts so put by Ms Sneha. Thus, in this case an inevitable clash of interest took place leading to denial of the opportunity of being heard , by virtue of both actions - deletion discussion and blocking- having been initiated /ordered by the same party i.e. Mr Bonadea. This is against the principles of natural justice in any society/country governed by the rule of law. The blocking decision should not have been taken by Mr Bonadea as he knew that he had already initiated the deletion discussion. He ought to have referred the blocking decision to some other Administrator. Thus, due process of fairness and unprejudiced discussion have been violated in this case.
(C ) At least two members who participated in the discussion majorly misread the Article. They presumed that I had been the Head of the Punjab Police Force. No such claim was made in the Article. It rather said in the Introduction : " ....retired from the rank of Director General of Police". Thus, it was the rank which was mentioned, and not the actual post. There are a few posts in the Punjab Police , all manned by DG rank officers. Though the two gentlemen spoke in my favour, yet their impression was wrong , and I pointed it out at the very first instance to Mr Geoffrey Lane of the Wikipedia in an email dated 28 April 2022. Such a misreading by not only these two esteemed members of the WP community but by some other participants also- like the one inquiring about the President's Police Medal for Distinguished Service in respect of which clarification was provided by the creator of the Article ,the same , however,having been being struck off- shows lack of proper understanding and appreciation of the contents of the Article by some of the esteemed participants. The number of participants , most of them not well-informed about the Indian system of policing except two, was also too less, about 5 or 6. This type of discussion amounted to a process not germane to a meaningful discussion , laying too much stress on the so-called independent References which , though present among the list of References, were not found adequate by the participants and ultimately by the DA. Instead of looking at the totality of the material available , they rather looked only at a part of it resulting in miscarriage of justice.
(D ) The DA's final note dated 26 May 2022 on his Talk Page says that the first two References mentioned speak of my book , and not of me. This is, to say the least, not a very correct interpretation. When somebody is talking about my book , he is naturally talking about me also as the book is my creation. About the third Reference, he mentioned it was by an organisation to which I belong and hence was not independent. First of all, he could not appreciate that the Reference was picked up by the creator by the internet search and mentioned as such just to show my qualities as a senior police officer , and referred to my past association with the organisation , and not the present one as I am no longer a member of it. Secondly, I was associated with it but had no control over it. The Reference also mentions the names of the former Governor Punjab and former Chief Secretary Punjab just to show that I was, at one time in the past, in the category of highly notable persons in the administration of the Punjab government , thereby supplementing my notability.
(E ) The DA's final note dated 26 May 2022 is silent on the suggestion to allow, for improving the Article, the use of 31 feedbacks provided in respect of 20 articles of mine in PDF format uploaded on Wikimedia , as independent secondary sources for my writing work, which PDF file contained some References for my police work also ( all relating to pre-internet era). Perhaps these or some of them could have been considered for addition so that the Article could have been improved and saved , as I understand that the first endeavour of the Wikipedia , as a positive step, is to retain the Article by improving it. Pre-internet References would naturally be in paper format, and only their scanned copies can be attached. Some 59 more References ( out of which some might be common to the list already in the deleted Article) also sent for my articles and TV discusdions for possible use in improving the Article were also not touched upon by the DA in his final note of 26 May 2022.
(F ) The Article was approved on 27 January 2022 by Wikipedia ( Mr John B 123- more than 1,89,000 edits and more than 248 active Articles to his credit) after satisfying about notability and References. No new facts came to light after that. No falsity of any information was ever alleged. Hence, in the absence of any fresh material, it is not fair to declare the same Article as ineligble on grounds of lack of notability and inadequacy of References, though later the DA in his note of 20 May 2022 on his Talk Page did not raise the issue of notability , and only of secondary independent References. Thus , there has been an apparent lack of consistency . I think an Article duly approved by an esteemed and experienced Wikipedian-Administrator should not be put up for deletion discussion unless fresh damaging material became available.
(G ) I have suffered loss of face by the deletion effected 3 months after its publication after due approval . I am now more than 75 years of age. My endeavour to write the fifth book- Origin of the Aryans- which was half-way through, is stalled due to this upsetting development.
Keeping in view the totality of circumstances, it is requested that the Article may kindly be restored. It can, however, be improved by adding more References or even amending it.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely, Purshottam Lal —103.87.26.156 (talk) 08:49, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Soft deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jang Ji-hun. With 76 games in the KBO League (which previously was in NBASE, giving a presumption of notability for all with more than one game) I would say he is probably notable. —BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:45, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
