Deletion of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ric_Byrne

Hello. Ric Byrne is my father and I was doing my check in on his Wikipedia article just to make sure it was not destroyed in any way, and I found out it was deleted. I reviewed your deletion notes, and I am here to please ask you restore the page. It means a lot to him and I and I don't want to lose this piece of his legacy, considering he can no longer wrestle. I appreciate your time. Swavest (talk) 16:57, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

@Swavest: Hi, the page was deleted as a result of the deletion discussion, so I cannot unilaterally undelete the page. You will need to address the concerns raised at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ric Byrne and prove that the subject meets notability guidelines. ✗plicit 04:29, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

F8 review request

Hi Explicit. Would you mind looking at File:Flag of Joliet, Illinois.svg and c:File:Flag of Joliet, Illinois.svg. I'm assuming you deleted the local file because someone had uplaoded the same file to Commons, but the Commons file was deleted earlier today and I can no longer see it. FWIW, I came upon these files via WP:MCQ#Why did my flags with seals on them don't comply with criteria 3a? since the Joliet flag file on Commons was being used as part of an WP:OTHERIMAGE type of argument. If the local file you deleted was pretty much the same as File:Seal of Joliet, Illinois.svg, then perhaps there's no need to restore it unless you feel further discussion about how 3a applies to these things should take place at FFD. -- Marchjuly (talk) 03:34, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: Hi, the local deleted file is indeed just File:Seal of Joliet, Illinois.svg set to a white background and its use would not comply with 3a. ✗plicit 05:52, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Can you check to see whether the uploader of either of the two files was Frank Zigler or TheVexillologistofKingwood? For reference, those accounts are the same person; however, it appears to be an attempt at a WP:CLEANSTART and not an attempt to WP:SOCK. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:45, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: It was neither; the uploader was Jack Ryan Morris. ✗plicit 12:49, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying this. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:54, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Michael B. Lavery inquiry

I know this is rather out of the blue and its been almost 3 years since you deleted the page but why was the Michael B. Lavery page deleted? The reason given was he failed to reach notability. However, the notability requirements for Politicians and judges is as follows:

Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels. This also applies to people who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them.

Notice the state/province–wide office section. Lavery held statewide office as the Chairman of the New Jersey Republican State Committee.

I am going to be re-creating this page sometime in the near future. Do you have any objections to this? Scu ba (talk) 13:45, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

@Scu ba: The article was nominated for deletion by another user and remained uncontested after seven days, leading to its deletion. As a neutral party, I do not oppose its recreation. There is also the option to have it restored by request as outlined at WP:CONTESTED. Is this something you'd be interested in? ✗plicit 13:52, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

I've never actually gone through a restoration request. I was just thinking of making the article from scratch again later in the afternoon. Thanks for the quick reply! Scu ba (talk) 13:54, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Paul Carson (actor)

Doubtful but is there any way this page can be restored. I have come across an article from The Sunday Mercury in 1962 entitled "The 'Englishman' from Texas" which gives some more more background on his earlier life such as beginning his acting career aged 6 in several films and radio broadcasts only to give it up to join the American Air Force but come back to it. Dunno if it's any more substantial.Silurian25 (talk) 11:45, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

@Silurian25: Hi, the page was deleted as a result of the deletion discussion, so I cannot unilaterally undelete the page. However, I can restore the article as a draft, where you can work on the page and submit it through the articles for creation process if and when you feel it's ready. ✗plicit 11:54, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Deletion of https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:CoSup_(Conseil_Sup%C3%A9rieur_des_El%C3%A8ves)

Hey could you restore this page? It suffered from a lack of sources and inactivity on my part but i want to start working on it again. Beunhaasje (talk) 13:20, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

@Beunhaasje: Done – as a draft or Articles for creation submission deleted under CSD G13, the page has been restored upon request. They are not for the indefinite hosting of material that is unsuitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Please continue to work on the draft so that it meets Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for inclusion, prior to another six months elapsing. ✗plicit 13:24, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Looney Tunes Super Stars' Sylvester and Hippety Hopper: Marsupial Mayhem

I disagree with the decision to remove this article's webpage. Since there is no comprehensive Looney Tunes set- it is important for animation collector's to know where you can find each individual cartoon. This set is one of the most important Looney Tunes sets since it is one of the few that contain a character's entire filmography - in this case, Hippety Hopper and Sylvester Jr. If lack of sources is the problem I've also found another source from Jerry Beck at Cartoon Brew from 2013. [[1]] —Luxoman237 (talk) 02:02, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

@Luxoman237: Done – as a contested soft deletion, the article has been restored upon request. ✗plicit 02:16, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Explicit. You might want to take a look at this again since the article you restored has been boldly redirected to Looney Tunes Golden Collection. It would seem that if the soft delete was contentious, then a bold redirect would also be contentious and perhaps a new AfD is needed per WP:BLAR. -- Marchjuly (talk) 09:54, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

@Explicit You have still not restored the article- it's just been redirected to Looney Tunes Golden Collection. Please do the job properly as you said you would. Luxoman237 (talk) 01:44, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

@Luxoman237: The article was redirected by Onel5969, so you will have to take the issue up with them. Learn how to handle situations. ✗plicit 02:25, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Strange non-admin closure of TfD

Hiya. I was just looking around to see what time/date templates are outputting semantic markup i.e. <time>...</time> (sadly it seems none worth mention although I am a tad blurry right now) and found only the rather sad and pointless {{time element}} which was apparently submitted for discussion then closed as "speedy keep" by Q28 after no real discussion and for no apparent reason. I should have been sleeping a couple of hours ago already, so I'm fly tipping this on your doorstep and running away. Enjoy ;) Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 23:25, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
