A small anarchist organization made use of this name in the late 1970s and beyond, which was judged non-notable in an Articles for Deletion debate. It was noted during the debate that there was an earlier International Working People's Association (established 1881 in London, American section 1883 in Pittsburgh) which WAS notable. I have just launched a WP page on this earlier and uncontestably significant group. However, in the process of writing the earlier group's history I have learned that there were two revival attempts made, in 1907 and 1921, respectively. I feel there is some chance that the 1970s/80s IWPA's attempt to launch under the same name may be integrated into that narrative, the question of absolute separation being unclear in the original debate. I seek restoration of the deleted page only for purposes of potential merger of the information contained therein with the now established page [[International Working People's Association]], not to restore it as a separate and free-standing entity. Thanks. -[[User:Carrite|Carrite]] ([[User talk:Carrite|talk]]) 16:53, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

I haven't had a chance to read the article, but it seems to me that the context can be made out fairly well from reading Kelly Monacos page, the directors page, and Holly Madisons page (among others). Perhaps it needs a rewrite for that show context to be clear, but again, without reading the page, I don't know if that's the case or not.

Revision as of 19:16, 29 May 2010

Requests for undeletion is a process intended to assist users in restoring pages that were uncontroversially deleted. Articles deleted via proposed deletion and pages deleted under certain speedy deletion criteria, such as G6, can be restored through this process. This page also serves as a central location to request that deleted content be userfied or emailed to you so the content can be improved upon prior to re-insertion into the mainspace, or used elsewhere.

This page is only for requesting undeletion of articles which have already been deleted. If the article you are concerned about is still visible, but has a warning message (template) at the top, please do not post here, but follow the instructions on the template or on your talk page.

Note that requests for undeletion is not a replacement for deletion review. If you feel an administrator has erred in closing a deletion discussion, and you are unable to resolve the issue on their talk page, it should be raised at Wikipedia:Deletion review, rather than here. To request the undeletion of images, you may also tag the file page with {{ImageUndeleteRequest}}.

The Meteo Show

The information provided on this page, contrary to user belief, does not seem insignificant--I would like to add more sources to aid my point -Banjo999 (talk) 01:17, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done, will email the text to the creator. –xenotalk 12:37, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Eminent Children's writer

reasoning -GITIMAYA2 10:18, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to guess that you're refering to Basanta Kishore Sahoo. The article is not yet deleted, but it will be if you don't add some references. If you need help with that, put a {{help}} tag (note the curly brackets) on your talk page, and someone will be along to help you.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:04, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Weiss (Streamcast)

Article deleted by "Secret" who apparently had problems with the Wikipedia community and is no longer participating as an editor.) Streamcast was the lead defendant in the precedent setting MGM v Grokster case overturned by the US Supreme Court, who set up a new, non legislature enacted law, that now serves as a standard in which to hold technology companies liable for the actions of their users. As founding CEO of the company, I took the company from start-up to over 30 million users and won litigation against it by the entertainment industry in both the US Federal Court and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. In addition, I was the co-founder of the P2P United Trade group that lobbied Congress on behalf of 6 P2P Companies from 2003-6, helping to defeat the "Inducement Act" from becoming a law, even though the US Supreme Court enacted it for their decision in the MGM v Grokster case and the US Federal Court in New York used it as their basis to rule against Limewire last week. -Mbweiss (talk) 17:56, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Done I have overturned the A7 deletion because "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source". However, I have sticky prodded the article as it is entirely unsourced. Please also review our WP:COI guidelines regarding editing articles about yourself. –xenotalk 18:08, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Harry Ralston

Was deleted by closedmouth because screenwriter/director Ralston was considered un-notable by the editor, possibly because there was no attribution in the article. But Ralston's film won Best Film at two significant international film festivals, was well reviewed by the lead critic for the New York Times, AO Scott, and was released by Lions Gate Films, a notable studio. Furthermore Ralston is a frequent co-writer with Roger Avary, Academy-Awarding winning screenwriter of "Pulp Fiction," as noted in Avary's bio, on IMDB and on Avary's and wikipedia page. Last, Ralston has a recent screenwriting credit on the MGM film "Mexicali. The article about him is reposted below with complete attribution" -Lcantrow (talk) 21:52, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Harry Ralston is an American-born screenwriter, director, and producer.[1] After working in advertising in New York and then as a journalist covering bullfights for the Mexico City News he moved to Los Angeles and wrote and directed the 2000 film The Last Man [2] which starred Jeri Ryan (in her first starring role), and produced the 1999 Tamara Hernandez film Men Cry Bullets [3] The Last Man won Best Film in the Festival of Fantastic Films in London[4] as well a Lumière Award in the New Orleans Film Festival[5]. It was released by Lion's Gate [6] [7]. He most recently co-wrote the MGM film "Mexicali" with Roger Avary and Cristian Gudegast & Patrick Kelly[8].

Dan & Mab's Furry Adventures


The page was originally deleted along with several other webcomics during the discussion of Wikipedia's notability guidelines for websites. It was later agreed that websites could be notable via electronic and not physical paper sources, and most of them were restored; I notice this one was not. It was notable, among other things, for winning the web cartoonist's choice award twice, and was nonetheless in the process of having more sources added at a good clip. Further, excepting the original nominator, the vote to keep was literally unanimous. Every single one of several dozen posters voted to keep as notable, excepting the original nominator, so I found it very odd that the page was deleted. It's entirely possible the original deletion itself was the result of error. -Sim (talk) 03:18, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since this was deleted in an AFD, it's probably best if I userfy it for you and you can improve it before inserting it into mainspace. Sound like a plan? –xenotalk 14:55, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good, however I know there was an attempt to recreate the page that was speedily deleted afterwords, so I don't know how that affects the history, etc. Sim (talk) 20:28, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
checkY Userfied to User:Sim/Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures. Look in the history for the best version, I guess. –xenotalk 18:05, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oscar Safety Shoes

reasoning i would like to redo the article, because of some mistakes of the article and there are not enough information for the company and such like promote product -J.I.E 20:14, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

 Not done. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and is not for promoting products. More advice on your talk page soon. JohnCD (talk) 10:43, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Geronimo dos Santos

Added a reference -Falcons8455 (talk) 03:03, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have no need to come here - the article has not been deleted. The "BLP Prod" template at the top said only that it would be deleted unless a reference was added. You have added a reference and removed the template. No problem. JohnCD (talk) 10:20, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Azmyth

"Not Notable"

The band Azmyth is indeed notable. Check the facts. They meet at least three of the requirements.

The Band has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability. OCALA, Orange Springs, Florida The band has won or placed in a major music competition.Pat Traver's Battle Of The Bands / Shredder Shootout , ETC The band has been the subject of a half-hour or longer broadcast across a national radio or TV network.Is frequently covered in publications devoted to a notable sub-culture. "The Regular Guys Show" (Atlanta) in 2003 for over a half an hour.

 Not done. You have (quite properly) taken it to Deletion review - wait for the result of that. Asking in different places is "forum shopping" and confuses the system. JohnCD (talk) 10:16, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RoboForm

I am the marketing manager for Siber Systems makers of RoboForm. We have absolutely nothing to do with creating this page in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines that companies do not create entries for their own products. However the reason stated for deletion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CSD#G11 is completely undeserved. If an editor requires more information about RoboForm in order to make the entry more informative, we will gladly provide it, however we strongly disagree with the decision to simply erase what information was out there and which was posted by other members of the wikipedia community. -Sibersystems (talk) 15:24, 24 May 2010 (UTC) Sibersystems (talk) 15:33, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The page RoboForm has never existed, so I can't tell whether its content was overly promotional or not. What was the exact name of the deleted article? Olaf Davis (talk) 15:52, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There was an article at Roboform · ( talk | logs | links | watch | afd ) · [revisions]. —Korath (Talk) 22:23, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see the fundamental advertising either. Added to the discussion at User_talk:JzG#Roboform.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:17, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Response Mine Interactive

I don't know how to restore this page, since it was speedily deleted with no discussion by one admin while I was discussing with another admin about the promotional tone on the page. The talk page was then deleted while I was responding, so I couldn't even ask there. I'm not so much interested in trying to put the page back up, per se, but I would like to retrieve the text and tags and citations and whatnot on the page, since it took a good chunk of time to do. I don't know how to get it back and I don't know where to request that I get the page back. Thanks. -Wisefish99 (talk) 19:47, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done - because the page's content was identified as advertising, it cannot be restored. However, drop me an email and I'd be happy to send the page's content to you. Cheers, Arbitrarily0 (talk) 02:27, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rommel N. Angara

The article will provide information on the writer Rommel N. Angara, who has been the foremost Philippine essayist to first publish the essay "Philippine-Spanish Friendship Day: A Short Background" in The Modern Teacher, a Philippine publication of national circulation. The Philippine-Spanish Friendship is a holiday observed in the province of Aurora, Philippines every June 30th to celebrate the friendship forged between the Filipinos and the Spaniards, who colonized the Philippines for 333 years, but whom the Filipinos considered friends instead of enemies after the Philippine Revolution. -Amigos de baler (talk) 11:26, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Done - the page has been restored to the userspace at User:Amigos de baler/Rommel N. Angara. You may work on improving the article's assertion of notability at its new location, but please consider contacting PMDrive1061 (talk · contribs), the administrator who deleted the page, before moving it back to the article space.

"No sourcing, no legit assertion of notability, highly promotional tone, no GNEWS hits, adding up to failure to satisfy the GNG and relevant specialized guidelines" It's promotional in tone, has no good sources for assertions of notability, is about a band which doesn't show up in GoogleNews, and generally should probably have been deleted last year as yet another article about a non-notable band. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:55, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Castes in India: Their Mechanism, Genesis and Development

This article was deleted after debate of proposed deletion. The deletion may be due to two reasons (1)unimproved formatting of the article, A single sentence or only a website link, unfinished matter. (2) Consensus, no response against deletion, Some argued this article is "Just not notable" and "not interesting" WP:AADD -Ranjithsutari (talk) 21:36, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done - this page has been deleted via a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Castes in India: Their Mechanism, Genesis and Development. If you believe that the consensus of the discussion was found in error, or that significant new information has come to light since the deletion, please contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user Kurykh (talk · contribs). If you have already done so, your concerns can be taken to deletion review. FWIW, failing to meet WP:Notability is grounds for deletion here at Wikipedia; no one argued that it was "not interesting". --Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:09, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This is uncontroversially deleted page, my intention is not to fault the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Castes in India: Their Mechanism, Genesis and Development. This is the article regarding a paper presented by Dr.B.R.Ambedkar at Columbia University, it hold research work on the aspects of development of castes. I think this article should be restored as it is an important work by Babasheb Ambedkar which cannot be presented in other articles/pages. My concern is to review this article to meet WP:Notability guidelines, which is the ground reason for deletion. So I request for undeletion to improved this article.--Ranjithsutari (talk)
Please review the general guideline Wikipedia:Notability which, in summary, requires evidence of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", and the specific guideline Wikipedia:Notability (books). It seems to me unlikely that this book can meet these requirements; but if, having read those guidelines, you think it can, ask below here and we can userfy the article into a user sub-page for you to work on. JohnCD (talk) 21:03, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I hope that I've understood the specific guidelines Wikipedia:Notability (books). I've found that this article meets the Wikipedia:Notability_(books)#Criteria. So I request for undeletion to improve this article.--Ranjithsutari (talk)
 Done. I have restored the article into your user space at User:Ranjithsutari/Castes in India: Their Mechanism, Genesis and Development where you can work on it. When you think it is ready, you might consider asking for comments by posting a message at WP:Requests for feedback. Before moving it back to the main encyclopedia, you should get permission from user Kurykh (talk · contribs), the administrator who closed the deletion discussion. If he does not agree, you can go to WP:Deletion review. JohnCD (talk) 19:53, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Giant dromaeosaurids

This article that I created was tagged for speedy deletion because Wikipedia already has two pages about this topic: Dromaeosauridae and Austroraptor. But Wikipedia has so many articles! I want to create an article, but there is no topic that Wikipedia hasn't already covered. So that's why I'm requesting this article for undeletion. -Troodon58 (talk) 02:43, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done - the problem was that "Giant dromaeosaurids" isn't an actual dinosaur, but rather a large Dromaeosaurids. It's nice to see that you're interested in creating articles, however. Consider checking out Wikipedia:Requested articles and Wikipedia:Most wanted articles for more ideas. Cheers, Arbitrarily0 (talk) 20:52, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Biographies of Cherie Nutting and Bachir Attar

I am Cherie Nutting, manager and photographer for Bachir Attar and The Master Musicians of Jajouka. We both have had bois which have been on your Wiki site for many years. The Cached pages can still be seen but our bios have been removed by an editor who calls himself JZG.

For years there were slanderous statements and wrong information about Bachir Attar. My bio was basically good but lacked souces. Above both bios it was asked that more info be added to legitimize all that was said. In Bachirs' case it stated that he drank vodke and therefore could not be leader of his group. This was there for years and I continually complained about this to an editor named Faissal. A few days ago I noticed the slander had not been changed. This is especially upsetting as Bachir does not drink alcohol at all.I do believe that this is no ones' business however as this is supposed to be a bio on the work and not the character of an artist.Suddenly this was removed but there were still items wrong and missing on the bio.

I was written to by the Wik Info dept advising me to fix the bios myself as the editors are volunteers and have no time for the edits. I am not good on the net and rarely check suites etc.I followed your directions and entered Bachir Attars' bio site and mine. I fixed spelling errors as well as content errors. In Bachirs' bio I added more reading references to back up statements. This is stated as a need at the top of the page.I also added films where Bachir and The Master Musicians of Jajouka contributed music. The Wik had only added the film "The Cell'. All films added were kept but each day 3 films were removed."The Sheltering Sky" Bertoluccis' Paul Bowles novel adaptation 1989 and "Naked Lunch" William Burroughs' novel "Naked Lunch" directed by David Cronenburg 1993.I also added the film that occurred with the Steel Wheels recording with The Rolling Stones entitled "The Rolling Stones in Morocco 1989 for BBC, directed by Nigil Finch.

Every day these 3 films were removed. Why? I do not know.Every day I asked why and no one would tell me. All that was said was that I was committing some kind of crime.Oddly for years THE WIK had this information on my biography but not Bachirs' as well.

I also added 3 books to my bio."Jajouka Rollingstone" and "Old Gods Almost Dead", by Stephen Davis. Both Bachir and myself are in these books.

I also am in the book and did the cover to "IN TOUCH", Paul Bowles' book of letters by Jeffrey Miller Farrar and Strauss and Giroux

Both bios I added Robert Palmers' daughters' film of her father as well as the book just published by Scribners 2009

"The Hand of Fatima" "Blues and Chaos" the writings of Robert Palmer.

I did the book cover with my photo of Robert Palmer in Jajouka 1988 and added to the film with info and pictures.Bachir is a main character in the film.

These were deleted too.

When I replaced these things both of our bios were deleted by JZG and no one will personally explain why we have been deleted and what I did wrong? I was only attempting to correct things.

I have written to Stephen Davis, Paul Bowles' Estate,Augusta Palmer,Jeffrey Miller.They can confirm that what I said is true. I can provide concrete fact that this is true. Contracts, book covers, scans of book and film credits. What else is needed to re instate our bios and have all information that is correct added?

I would greatly appreciate a letter back which is understandable and what should be done to fix the problem wit JZG and his opinions that are odd to all of us regarding our work.

Sincerely, Cherie Nutting -Bachir Attar (talk) 18:46, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have notified User:JzG of this request for his thoughts. Cheers, Arbitrarily0 (talk) 21:08, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Boston Gentlemen's Driving Club

It is part of American History, all documented and verifiable. Deletion was both lout and innapropriate. -Bosgent (talk) 21:01, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - another version of this page exists at Boston Gentlemens' Driving Club. Arbitrarily0 (talk) 21:14, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have moved that one to the title with "Gentlemen's" which is the correct spelling, and added "underconstruction" and "notability" tags to give some time for development. Bosgent, a Wikipedia article about a club, or anything else, must demonstrate notability, which is not a matter of saying so but of showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", and as you are evidently connected with the club you need to be careful of our rules on conflict of interest. More advice on your talk page. JohnCD (talk) 21:36, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SCATMANisAbastard

This page should not be deleted in order to warn more people to steer clear of whatever this YouTube user has created; especially small children. This article CAN be qualified as a partial biography, for it describes part of his daily activities. This can also curb some of the hatred from other users to SCATMANisAbastard, because it can purely and truly describe him. If one user decides to put bad language that has not been blocked out, well then, others can edit and delete that part. Otherwise, this article can be considered innocent, and fine, because it has bad language blocked out, and can warn others of a bad person. -Kiwi663 (talk) 01:44, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This page is a place to request undeletion of articles. This article has not been deleted. If you believe the article meets the notability guidelines the next step is to add {{hangon}} to the article under the current speedy deletion tag. Then you need to explain on the talk page why it meets the guideline. ~~ GB fan ~~ talk 01:50, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ToolBook

I just noticed that this page was deleted. I've no idea why. ToolBook is a Software product created by SumTotal Systems, for which I am a 14 year employee. We did not create the original page, I really don't know who did, but we have kept it current with product history, fun facts, etc. for the last few years. We wanted to update it again with recent release news but found it missing, gone, and have therefore assumed it was deleted. I can't imagine any valid reason given in a request to have this page removed - as your general policies frown upon deleting pages. We would definitely like to have it restored if possible. -Denny Dedmore (talk) 02:00, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done The article was deleted as unambiguous advertising, which would need a fundamental rewrite to become an encyclopedia article. You might take a few minutes to read through WP:COI to see why editing an article on your own company is not a good idea.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:37, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reelworld

The page appears to have been deleted for no genuine reason. Other similar companies have articles within Wikipedia, and this article is no different. Additionally, the user responsible for its deletion cites a lack of significance or notability as the reason for deletion. This company is both significant and notable within its field. This company is responsible for the creation of products and services unlike any other, has a client list which reads like a who's who of radio, and this company is highly respected in its industry. -212.78.230.236 (talk) 03:08, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, the article didn't give any clue that this company might be significant (and the article read a bit like an ad, as well). If you'd like to have the page userfied so that you can improve it, let me know on my talk page and I can move it to the Article Incubator so you can add sources that show the company is worthy of an encyclopedia article.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:43, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Techtalkradio

Hello, I hadn't checked the Wikipedia page in awhile and logged on to update our new Broadcast Radio Station and TV Home and found the page had been deleted. We have been on the Air Since 1996 and have been included in Books about Broadcasting and Covered events at the Consumer Electronics Show while serving on the Advisory Panel. Can we please have our Wikipedia Page Reinstated? Thank you! -68.63.184.3 (talk) 04:38, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. However, take a few minutes to read through WP:COI to see why editing an article on a show you are associated with is a really, really bad idea. Also read WP:Notability -- if sources aren't added that show Techtalkradio is notable, it may soon wind up at AfD.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:46, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This Is How You Play

I'm new to wikipedia and I'm sure I did something wrong when I added website info for thisishowyouplay.com. Could the wikipedia page I created, This_Is_How_You_Play be "userfied" or added to my own user namespace so that I can improve the article and fix whatever was wrong with it? Thank you Christorea (talk) 05:45, 27 May 2010 (UTC) -Christorea (talk) 05:45, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

After you posted here, TexasAndroid (talk · contribs) moved it to User:Christorea/This Is How You Play. Cheers! --Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:53, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jes Lim

I have reliable sources / references now to add to the article. They were missing and that was the reason for the deletion. Thank you. -Qi-Mag (talk) 16:05, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Might be a good idea to get the sources in there sooner rather than later.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:55, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jesus Correa

This is an article I wrote about a noteworthy artist and politician from Rockford, Illinois. I did my best to give as many references as possible and state only the facts. This person ran for mayor of a Mid-sized American city as a member of a major political party ans was written about in major newspapers and appeared on NPR. No attempt was made to give me a reason why the article was being deleted and no suggestions for improvement were made. This person is also a respected artist who's work has been covered by legitimate media. As a new contributor I'd appreciate at least some attempts to help me improve the article before it is summarily deleted, as several other editors chose to remove the speedy deletion tag in the past as I have been working on the article. I checked and this editor also deleted a lot of other articles within a short period. Maybe that indicates this person is not taking enough time to consider the articles properly or make/suggest improvement. I appreciate your time in this matter. -Tvaulto (talk) 23:48, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Done - the page has been restored to the userspace at User:Tvaulto/Jesus Correa. You may work on improving the article's assertion of notability at its new location, but please consider contacting JzG (talk · contribs), the administrator who deleted the page, before moving it back to the article space.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:59, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Leaders of Something Horrible

I feel like someone just sort of summarily deleted everything I had contributed to Wikipedia. I've been trying to get up to speed on the coding and procedure so I can create high quality articles about subjects that are noteworthy and that other people probably would never know about unless I create them. This is an article about a theatre/comedy troupe in my town which is of note and respected here. I've attempted to make it as well-designed and factual as possible. I read something about not biting the newcomers. If every contribution I attempt to make is going to cause some sort of pissing contest I'm not going to spend the time to contribute to Wikipedia and whatever I wanted to contribute about the place I am will never be included. I'd like to stay on Wikipedia and maybe even create MORE articles and let time and reasoned consensus decide if they have merit, not the arbitrary deletion ability of one person who doesn't even spend enough time to suggest ways in which the article can be improved. -Tvaulto (talk) 23:57, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done There's still a copy at User:Tvaulto/The Leaders of Something Horrible. Take a few minutes to read WP:Notability to see what you need to add to the article -- when you think it's ready, post a request at WP:FEED to get some feedback. HTH! --Fabrictramp | talk to me 01:03, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Francis C. Church

reasoning -BGinOC (talk) 21:04, 28 May 2010 (UTC) Article was incomplete but contained enough general information with references while I continued working on additional research. The user that deleted said article gave no time or notice for my improvement of said article and has been deleting hundreds of articles all day.[reply]

This article is about a person that is a respected artist and who's work has been covered by legitimate media. I'd appreciate at least some attempts to help me improve the article before it is deleted. I feel this person is not taking enough time to consider the articles properly or make/suggest improvement by their deletion records.

 Done I've restored it at User:BGinOC/Francis C. Church so you can work on establishing notability in your user space. WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST may be helpful. Please consider checking with UtherSRG (talk · contribs), who deleted the article, before moving it back to article space. Cheers! Olaf Davis (talk) 16:45, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cristy Coors Beasley

reasoning -Artisttsitra (talk) 22:33, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cristy Coors Beasley was part of the groundbreaking web series as both a producer and recurring character Rebecca on LONELYGIRL15, and was the series producer for the wildly successful spin-off KATEMODERN launched in conjunction with Bebo. Both series have significantly influenced the ongoing and evolving dialogue of digital content, and have influenced the shift in traditional distribution outlets for original content. Both series have been named as some of the most significant happenings in the digital age by Newsweek Magazine and Time Magazine. Both productions also won many awards, including BAFTA and Webby Awards, the most regarded accolade in the digital world. Both series are regarded as two of the most successful web-series ever created, and was a veritable revolution for online marketing and advertising.

Cristy is an actress, writer, and producer in Los Angeles.

International Working People's Association

A small anarchist organization made use of this name in the late 1970s and beyond, which was judged non-notable in an Articles for Deletion debate. It was noted during the debate that there was an earlier International Working People's Association (established 1881 in London, American section 1883 in Pittsburgh) which WAS notable. I have just launched a WP page on this earlier and uncontestably significant group. However, in the process of writing the earlier group's history I have learned that there were two revival attempts made, in 1907 and 1921, respectively. I feel there is some chance that the 1970s/80s IWPA's attempt to launch under the same name may be integrated into that narrative, the question of absolute separation being unclear in the original debate. I seek restoration of the deleted page only for purposes of potential merger of the information contained therein with the now established page International Working People's Association, not to restore it as a separate and free-standing entity. Thanks. -Carrite (talk) 16:53, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Peepshow (Burlesque)

reasoning -65.60.168.129 (talk) 19:16, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]


I haven't had a chance to read the article, but it seems to me that the context can be made out fairly well from reading Kelly Monacos page, the directors page, and Holly Madisons page (among others). Perhaps it needs a rewrite for that show context to be clear, but again, without reading the page, I don't know if that's the case or not.
