Note: This page is NOT for challenging the outcome of deletion discussions nor to address the pending deletion of any page.

Requests for undeletion is a process intended to assist users in restoring pages that were uncontroversially deleted via proposed deletion, under certain speedy deletion criteria (such as CSD G6), or in articles for deletion debates with little or no participation other than the nominator. This page is also intended to serve 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 (you may also make a request directly to one of the administrators listed here). This means that content deleted after discussion—at articles for deletion, categories for discussion, or miscellany for deletion among other XfD processes—may in some cases be provided to you, but such controversial page deletions will not be overturned through this process.

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 or in applying a speedy deletion criterion, please contact them directly. If you are unable to resolve the issue on their talk page, it should be raised at Wikipedia:Deletion review, rather than here.

Mega Genius

The bureaucrat/administrator/editor, King Turtle, suggested that I submit my proposed article to replace the deleted article and my analysis of the article to the “Requests for un-deletion.” The revised article and analysis follows below.

Could you please re-evaluate the proposed article to recreate it over the deleted article? If you disagree with the recreation please explain your view point for each article requirement in better detail and the specific sentence or words that violate a neutral point of view so that I can understand your viewpoint. If there are additional questions please provide me with a sufficient amount of time to respond as a live a very busy life, thank you.68.62.178.98 (talk) 22:04, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the place to develop a new article. If you are going to post an article, you will need to register an account, if you don't have one already. Please do that, then post here what your account name is. If you have an account already, log in and post a message here. Then we can move your draft into your user space where you can get comments on it and develop it.
I wrote the above before checking the history. You are evidently the indefinitely-blocked user Deadalus821 (talk), and so I take back my advice to create an account, which would be block evasion. I do not see how we can proceed if you cannot persuade someone to unblock you, but I will consult Kingturtle to see if he has any suggestion. JohnCD (talk) 23:21, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
At a first glance, most of your references, particularly the first one you cite under "Analysis for inclusion of the Article", derive from press releases. That prnewswire one, for instance, ends "SOURCE The Mega Genius(R) Company". You need independent sources, both for notability and to verify claims like "Jim Diamond has the highest level of intelligence measurable on the Wechsler." The Wikipedia:Verifiability policy "requires that all quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged be attributed to a reliable, published source." The company's own press releases are not a reliable source for verification of its claims. JohnCD (talk) 23:02, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Now that I have read through the history and done my own checks, I have to agree with everyone who has advised you before: there is not enough here to be the basis of a Wikipedia article. It is now about the company rather than the man, but the problem is the same: lack of independent cover. The company exists, it make spectacular claims about its principal's intelligence, he is a member of various organizations, it sells lectures, it publishes the annual "Stupidest Statements" lists and it puts out press releases; but all the cover derives from those press releases. There is not the significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject required to establish notability in Wikipedia's terms. I'm sorry, but in my opinion there is not an article here, and my only suggestion is that you should accept that. JohnCD (talk) 22:43, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The news companies are independent from the Mega Genius® Company, but I understand what you’re getting at.
The requirement to use independent sources is to ensure the article topic is written from a neutral point of view and does not contain original research simply to assure that the information is reliable, but merely being independent does not guarantee that a source is reliable for a given purpose.
While all information that is communicated evidently comes from an original source, if independent sources are using self published material the question we should ask; are the independent sources reputable enough to warrant that the information is reliable?
If the news companies put a disclaimer stating that they are not responsible for the press releases content, I would agree with that we cannot use them. Since they have not, they have demonstrated that they are responsible for the communicating the content and have indicated that it was worthy of notice, which has been done through multiple news sites over multiple years.
No news company has to communicate press releases or the entirety of the press releases content as they have reputations to uphold. News companies do have reputations for fact checking with their own editorial independence, which they can choose to communicate information through their own ability to judge the reliability of the information, which is important to this matter.
The individual does hold a membership in Hall Of The Ancients, a high-IQ society of some 30 members, which has an admission requirement of intelligence in the 99.99 percentile and an IQ of 160 or greater. http://halloftheancients.weebly.com/ancients.html (see member ID # 29). This provides additional verification of the Jim Diamonds’ intellectual ability if his level of intelligence was ever questionable.
To state it in one sentence, it is the news companies’ judgment of what they consider to be a reliable source for verification not personal opinion.
To conclude the news companies are 1) Independent from the source 2) They considered the self-published information note worthy by communicating it. 3) There are no content disclaimers on the press releases. 4) The question we need to conclude; are these news companies reputable enough to ensure that the self-published information they are communicating is reliable? I think so.

I see no concrete reason why Wikipedia cannot have an article on the Mega Genius® Company, if there is please communicate otherwise. I am also fine with removing the statement from the article; "Jim Diamond has the highest level of intelligence measurable on the Wechsler, the most modern and accurate intelligence test of the twenty-first century."68.62.178.98 (talk) 03:01, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OTRS permission confirmed; ID 2011030310018075 Adrignola (talk) 16:39, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is stated by the subject that the subject's friend took it with her camera. I based the confirmation on the following on the OTRS wiki (paraphrased): In the strictest sense, photos from family members or friends don't legally belong to a subject, but they are accepted as a convenience. Similarly, photos taken by strangers on one's own camera don't necessarily legally belong to a subject either (the key is, who makes the creative choices, not whose equipment it is), but those are accepted as well. - From a default response in the photosubmissions system [1]. I cannot view the picture, however, so if it appears to be a professional picture, then this would not apply. Adrignola (talk) 00:10, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I just viewed the deletion comment at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Meredith_maran_blue.jpeg&action=edit&redlink=1 . A personal attack is wholly inappropriate for an administrator at Wikipedia: "ignore the incompetent person from OTRS". I've provided my reasoning above. Thanks to a photo submission in a later ticket that was merged into the above one, File:Meredith Maran.jpg has now been uploaded to Commons. Adrignola (talk) 17:28, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ishita Bhaduri is an Indian poet and writer of contemporary India. -Harinja (talk) 18:20, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not done - As announced at the top of the page, this process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially and has no applicability to articles deleted after any deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ishita Bhaduri, it cannot be undeleted through this process. Nevertheless, if you believe that the consensus found at the discussion was in error, or that significant new information has come to light since the deletion, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user Wizardman (talk · contribs). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:03, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

program in question is not non-notable as stated -120.142.67.5 (talk) 05:20, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to the deletion log as of 6 November 2008, "Article is on the verge of spam and is about a non-notable local cable access program."

Whether the "non-notable" claim was valid in 2008, I cannot say, but the claim is certainly no longer valid. Though the program started as a local cable access program, it now has a global audience. It is watched and debated internationally, due to weekly live streams via ustream, podcast, and youtube. Check my IP, I am in Korea and I watch this show regularly. Any viewing of the show itself will show that those who call into the live show are doing so from all over the United States and often times from overseas.

I highly doubt that any "non-notable" cable access program would result in over a quarter of a million hits on Google.

The show has become an indelible part of the ongoing global dialogue regarding belief. It would be strange for Wikipedia to continue to deny it a page. Please reverse this decision and undelete.

Independent of the merits of the program, this process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially and has no applicability to articles deleted after any deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Atheist Experience, it cannot be undeleted through this process. As you believe that the consensus found at the discussion was in error, or that significant new information has come to light since the deletion, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user MBisanz (talk · contribs). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review.
If you have an account, I could userfy the draft, since someone has to go through the Ghits and extract reliable sources that back-up above claims. --Tikiwont (talk) 17:32, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Corre (2011)

I think that the corre deserve an article. It has been nearly three months since the group has been created. The group has done notable achievements. They have won Tag Team Championship twice. They are having a seperate fan page and profile. They have been a continuous member of SmackDown since their debut. It means that WWE itself wants to prompote the group. Also, corre member Wade Barret is the current Intercontinental Champion. I think that these achievements are enough. -Mr.ankit97 (talk) 16:09, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not done - As announced at the top of the page, this process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially and has no applicability to articles deleted after any deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Corre (professional wrestling), it cannot be undeleted through this process. Nevertheless, if you believe that the consensus found at the discussion was in error, or that significant new information has come to light since the deletion, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user Ironholds (talk · contribs). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review. Spartaz Humbug! 16:12, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

RouterTech

The article was nominated for speedy deletion, which was inappropriate, and was deleted without the knowledge of the author. -Chewbaca75 (talk) 21:10, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. No, it was not speedy-deleted, it was deleted after a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/RouterTech. You should have been notified of that discussion, and I apologise that you were not. If you believe that discussion was wrongly decided, or you have new information, your first step should be to contact user King of Hearts (talk), the administrator who closed the discussion; then, if you are not satisfied, you can go to WP:Deletion review, which you should do by following the instructions at that page. The speedy-deletion notice on your talk page refers to what seems to be a failed attempt to start a deletion review; if you need help to do that, ask on my talk page, but talk to King of Hearts first. 21:27, 28 March 2011 (UTC)JohnCD (talk)

This article was recently deleted because of the following abbreviations: A7, G12, and G11.

Foundation Leonardo Marques

reasoning: It is important to scientific investigation specifically in gynecology, obstretics and assited reproduction -IMbcn (talk) 07:27, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article was originally deleted by Nyetty on the grounds that my article has no importance. If you carefully read the short article it clearly states that this foundation was set up for scientific investigation in assited reproduction for couples with infertility problems and the social proliferation of sexual reproduction. I do not know why it has been deleted as in Spain it is one of the leading foundations for this cause. Please get back to me

 Not done If it is one of the leading foundations for this cause then it should not be difficult to find sources to indicate the fact. However, the article did not do so, and Google gives no non-Wikipedia hits at all for either "Foundation Leonardo Marquès" or "Foundation Leonardo Marques".

I received an e-mail answer today from the "Permissions" <permissions@wikimedia.org> help desk of Wikipedia and I was advised based on having cleared up the copyright issue that was in question, that I could either write a new Article, or ask for undeletion of my previous Article that was deleted.

Brian R. Price

the concern was unclear notability. Brian Price is one of the foremost exponents and promoters of Historial European Martial Arts, or Western Martial Arts, in the US today. There is not much yet on those here, but if entries related to them get summarily deleted because a mod never heard of the person then it will be difficult to build up that area. In any case, at least the editor in question could have flagged it and allowed a reasonable time for contributors to address the concern by adding more info or references. -24.6.240.12 (talk) 06:57, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That Girl (David Choi song)

reasoning -TorresAndChicharito (talk) 10:46, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why should this be deleted? It is a real song, and it was NOT only released on YouTube (iTunes, Album: By My Side) and it is notable. Wikipedia, Qwyrxian is not resourceful. ONLY YOUTUBE? NOT THAT POPULAR? Check out our iPods, iPhones, handphones, Androids, computers! David Choi IS notable, IS good, IS famous, IS on Wikipedia (and will forever be), has HIS songs on Wikipedia (and will forever be) and IS #7 most subscribed musician on YouTube. YOUTUBE. It's hard to achieve this, so please recognise this song, him, and HIM! Wikipedia, I trust you and if you let someone as unresourceful as Qwyrxian delete articles like that just because she's good, you will lose a lot of WikiReaders like me.

This is being discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/That Girl (David Choi song), that is where a decision will be made, and you have already commented there, so there is nothing to do here. JohnCD (talk) 21:11, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

why has this been deleted? it is unfair and its the facts about a band for referance for the industry if thats the way you guys judge a input and just delete a referance page without first investigating the facts then count us out .....we will no longer use the wiki referance and anything we do from here about us on will be enforced with copyright laws of australia.....give a a break will you this is so ridiculas

It was deleted because questions were raised about its notability. I have no problem with this, but it was deleted before I even had a chance to flesh it out. It was deleted after only a few hours.

I am the original author of this article and promoted the brand maybe a little too much. Nevertheless, the article about one of our competitors Profoto shows strong similarities, if not less content. I would appreciate if the source code of the article would be made available to make it possible for me to amend it into a proper form. The brand and company Multiblitz is well worth of an Wiki-article.

Since the article was deleted, Dolf has since become notible. Dr. Patrick Chaplin was the first person ever to earn a PHD in darts and is the world leader in dart history.

The references for Cricket (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket_(darts)) and Dartball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartball) appear don't appear to be as strong as this reference yet are considered notable. Cross referencing the notability guide lines, this reference to Dolf is meets the following:

The source is Reliable Source is a Secondary Source The source is independent of the subject It was mentioned by a reputable media/expert source
