Yes, BBC radio coverage Radio 6 , A BBC Radio profile on the band, published releases. Direct work related links to notable musicians/radio DJ's. Also, the Musicians in the article for the band in question already have a band page for things they did in the past which was accepted on lesser notability? Rumpus (band) also if you look at that link you'l see that Danny Lowe Also is a member of british band Babybird.

Revision as of 10:50, 3 July 2012


Welcome. Please note that 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 or files that were uncontroversially deleted via proposed deletion, under certain speedy deletion criteria (such as maintenance deletions), 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 deletion 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 or files 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 discuss but are unable to resolve the issue on their talk page, it should be raised at Wikipedia:Deletion review, rather than here.

Eric Metaxas

This page was apparently deleted according to the noteworthy criterion in 2010. However, Metaxas is a noted author whose book on Bonhoeffer was the #4 NYT nonfiction bestseller on Sept. 25, 2011. He is referred to in 17 Wikipedia articles. He gained a new audience as the speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast earlier this year (the only such speaker to not have a Wikipedia page). I am actually not a fan and came to Wikipedia looking for a NPOV on him. -Hugetim (talk) 15:42, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. It was in fact only deleted last month. I will notify user Mfhiller (talk), who proposed it, and who may decide to nominate it at WP:Articles for deletion, which would start a debate lasting seven days to which you could contribute. Any references to comment about him in reliable sources that you can add will help. JohnCD (talk) 16:51, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Done? The article was deleted on the basis of numerous complaints. The major complaint (as supported by talk) actually was that this article contains almost nothing but advertising for someone who does not express a majority view (e.g., completely unsupported, unscholarly views about Bonhoeffer). Thanks for paying attention. Will take this forward. Mfhiller (talk) 00:13, 27 June 2012 (UTC)mfhiller[reply]

Capital Mortgage Funding

still notable -69.246.97.149 (talk) 18:51, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.crainsdetroit.com/article/20110724/SUB01/307249991/shore-duty-mortgage-lender-taking-big-steps-to-pump-up-its-volume

http://www.crainsdetroit.com/article/20120422/SUB01/304229995/new-name-new-hires-new-hq

Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request.. I will notify user NatGertler (talk), who proposed it, and may choose to nominate it at WP:Articles for deletion, which would start a debate lasting seven days to which you could contribute. You should add to the article any references you have to establish WP:Notability, preferably not all from the same source and not behind paywalls. JohnCD (talk) 16:22, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Onion (dog)

'Still notable with possible legal ramifications. -Quill and Pen (talk) 14:17, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article has potential legal precedent. See my comments below too.

I have contacted the contributor who redirected Onion (dog) article with no response. A majority of the contributors objected to the article's removal, but the redirect was done any way. Below is the redirect link and my comments on the redirect page. If I have filed this complaint incorrectly, please be patient as I am new to Wikipedia. I've done some edits here, but I mainly participate in the WP copy edit drives. Thank you. Quill and Pen (talk) 14:17, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Onion_%28dog%29&oldid=499131993

My comments:

Onion the Dog

I have strongly disagreed with the NFD concerning Onion the Dog, and I still do, as this case is a legal one. If the Lexus Project wins their case that could be heard at the Nevada Supreme Court, then Onion the Dog will set legal precedent throughout the United States. Other government agencies will have to review their policy concerning vicious dogs. Also, the article reflects a changing view of pet ownership. This what made Onion the Dog unique and noteworthy as the big picture was not the dog attack itself, but the ramifications following the event. Quill and Pen (talk) 18:00, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

 Not done. Before the redirect was put in place, this article was deleted as a result of the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Onion the dog so, as stated at the top of this page, it will not be undeleted here. If you consider that the discussion was wrongly decided, or you have new information, you should first approach user Bwilkins (talk), the administrator who closed the discussion; then, if your concerns are not addressed, you can go to WP:Deletion review. JohnCD (talk) 16:08, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jihae

I would like to add sourcing to the article to make it appropriate for wikipedia. However, I no longer have the content of the article, so if possible I would like to edit the it in my own sandbox before restoring it. Is it possible to send me the content? Thanks for the help -Trafficattic (talk) 16:19, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Userfied - the page has been restored to the userspace at User:Trafficattic/Jihae by The Blade of the Northern Lights (talk · contribs). — ξxplicit 01:24, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

MoneyTV with Donald Baillargeon

Page was improperly deleted for incorrect reasons -BurbankTV (talk) 21:33, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Not done It only took a few moments of looking to see that being deleted as an advertisement/highly promotional is quite the correct reason. For example, "...you can watch them on TV or at their web site..."? Doesn't get more promotional than that = ✉→BWilkins←✎ 21:41, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ERGO

Please UNdelete ERGO wikipedia page. It was deleted by speedy deletion. Did not have opportunity to revisit the page until now, to make edits to the ERGO page (U.S. non-profit organization), only to find it was deleted. Will re-edit page so it is 'acceptable" to the community. Thanks. -SilverLiner (talk) 01:49, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Not done Any articles will be deleted on sight if they are considered to be unambiguous advertising or promotion, or if they do not contain a credible assertion of the significance of the subject. Non-profits by themselves may be noble, but with assertion of notability, they may not meet the requirements for Wikipedia. I would suggest creating a WP:USERSPACEDRAFT, and then checking with the deleting admin before proceeding (✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:08, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Understood. Could you please MOVE the deleted ERGO Wikipedia page -AND- the deleted Euthanasia Research & Guidance Organization Wikipedia page to the SilverLiner userspace. Then some can contribute edits and repair the contents so the page conforms to Wikipedia community guidelines. I would not request such if a copy of the deleted page content was available. Thanks. SilverLiner (talk) 00:45, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

British Rail Class 68

Very little discussion was undertaken on this page - there seems to have been an arbitrary judgement by an administrator that it is "not notable" -Hammersfan (talk) 08:22, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Really? There's more bytes of text here than most other AFD's...and of course, never good to not WP:AGF and insult the deleting admin whose role is to weight the policy-based argumements (✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:04, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Fine - then restore it to my userspace until such time as more information becomes readily available, after which the page can then be restored to the main site. And where is this supposed "insult"? Hammersfan, 27/06/12, 23:38 BST

File:Magyar Cserkészlány Szövetség.png

this was being used in the article, and had proper licensing information when uploaded. If there was no licensing information, it was removed due to vandalism-we are very careful about such images -Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 01:01, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Kajabe Kan Kan

This is a game that kids have been playing at Hume Lake Christian Camps for decades. The kids in our church youth group play this game often. Kids from church youth groups all over California play this game and it is a prestigious title to hold at Hume Lake Christian Camps. -12.139.172.178 (talk) 03:59, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Although this article was speedy deleted for an incorrect reason (A7 does not apply to games) and there was a prod, if I restored it I would have to nominate it at AFD. If you can find reliable independent writings about the game, ie not youtube or humelake, then I would consider undeleting. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:55, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Geoportal Server

The page was deleted because it supposedly represented advertisement for a product. However, this page is no more an advertisement of a product than many other descriptions of software products found on wikipedia. The page describes a free and open source tool for data discovery for which a free LiveDVD is available. It was created to be referenced in this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIS_Live_DVD which also describes other similar tools, many of which have a similar description page. Please kindly reconsider the deletion. -Mhogeweg (talk) 04:12, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Toshio Yamaguchi/Yakumo (company)

Userspace draft deleted under CSD U1. I want to work on that draft again. --- Toshio Yamaguchi (tlkctb) 14:32, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

es canar

I am writing to request reasons as to why my short page on Es Canar was deleted?

It does not promote a company, product, group, service or person as it is none of those.

It may not have been full and descript, but it was short and to the point, and better than some of the articles on here that you have failed to action the removal of.

Please get back to me asap, this is what i want, this is what i expect. -SalopSi (talk) 15:45, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done however the article did contain promotional adjectives, which I have now removed. Your next step should be to include references that show where the information came from, and also please explain what the football team has got to do with this place. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:38, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See Me Not

Kudpung deleted the page because of A9 (Music recording by redlinked artist and no indication of importance or significance). But I created the article about the artist Saroos. -Cvlwr (talk) 19:09, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • (Non-administrator comment) Kudpung did say "If the Saroos article is kept at AfD you can ask any admin to restore your See Me Not article - politely of course, or just recreate it after ensuring that all claims in it are correctly referenced" so unless there are some glaring problems in the article that could require userfication, I think that it can and should be restored. Ryan Vesey Review me! 19:38, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I asked Kudpung to restore it. But he refused and said "I just don't want anything more to do with it". He is an administrator, isn't he? Cvlwr (talk) 21:16, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Done Kudpung is an administrator, but also a volunteer and so does not have to do it. I have restored the page. Someone else may AFD it. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:27, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fishbowl worldwide media

Article was deleted for being "not significant." The page includes 10+ links to reliable entertainment industry sources demonstrating notability of the company. Also, searching Wikipedia itself shows numerous references to the company. -67.224.100.100 (talk) 21:30, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Absorb LMS

legitimate brief article regarding a commercial learning management system, accessible from te page 'list of learning management systems'. -70.75.24.93 (talk) 02:13, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Chayon-ryu

Would like to fully edit it with creator of this particular martial artist system's oversight and also cite sources of information correctly to allow this page to continue without any problems. -129.7.17.70 (talk) 15:31, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[1]

Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. We can do without oversight of the subject, as that is a COI, but what what we need are indepednet references. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:36, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bryan Baker (musician)

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:BB.BBMusic&diff=0&oldid=466878035

We are very unclear as to the deletion of this very accurate and documented Wiki page for the acclaimed jazz musician and author, Bryan Baker. Our agency hired a professional copywriter skilled in Wiki content to create and upload the Wiki for this artist and all content, dates, awards recordings performances are 100% true and correct. Please advise as to how we can recreate the page or make the necessary corrections. -24.255.43.214 (talk) 16:33, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The page was deleted because it was promotional. It selectively quoted praise to give a good impression. Wikipedia is actually an encyclopedia and so needs a different kind of writing. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:28, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not done and will not be done Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Bryan Baker (musician). While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Whoever you hired was not skilled or professional, and has been blocked. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:07, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of open source computer hardware suppliers

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open_source_computer_hardware_suppliers This article has been deleted on the basis of WP:NOTDIR and/or WP:NOT#REPOSITORY, from what I can gather from "Articles for deletion/List of open source computer hardware suppliers". I would like to receive a copy of this deleted article because I need the information contained in it for a school project. Since this article was not deleted because of a copyright violation or because it contained illegal material, I suppose it would not be a problem for me to receive a copy of it through e-mail. I do not intend to restore this article, I am only interested in the information contained in it. Thank you. -Vomv1988 (talk) 17:34, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You will have to enable an email address on your Wikipedia account for that idea to work! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:45, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I enabled my e-mail. I'm sorry, but I'm very new at this... what is the next step? --Vomv1988 (talk) 04:15, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Done emailed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:30, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Gísli Örn Garðarsson

Since the article was deleted Gísli has appeared in Prince_of_Persia:_The_Sands_of_Time_(film). He played Zolm, the main villain, as noted in the plot synopsis for said film here on Wikipedia. He's also on IMDB for that part. In 2010 he was also awarded the The Order of the Falcon by the Icelandic president for his contribution to and expansion of Icelandic theater. See Vesturport's coverage and the office of the Icelandic president (in Icelandic) I'm not sure that the article should even have been deleted in the first place, as there were two interviews with him due to his innovative work in theatre in the UK around 2005 and 2006. One in the Telegraph (link) and another on BBC (link). -Jonthoroddsen (talk) 00:51, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Userfied - the page has been restored to the userspace at User:Jonthoroddsen/Gísli Örn Garðarsson. Please, make sure this article meets WP:NACTOR before moving it back to the main articlespace. Thanks. Salvio Let's talk about it! 01:13, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields

Basically, the article was deleted as not being notable (one or two article links at the time), but it is used on hundreds of articles (I think the number is around 600-700 at this point) and is used on many articles to cite that the closed airport itself actually existed. I wrote the article and hoped on expanding it at some point, but had not really begun to use AWB until recently in order to link and correct all the internal mentions. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 01:24, 30 June 2012 (UTC) -Kevin Rutherford (talk) 01:24, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"little-known" in particular is an incredibly subjective term here. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:09, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is not a list of little known airfields, it is actually a proper noun, the title of a web site. That is why the title does not make sense from a WP:TITLE point of view. Because it is about a web site that is why it qualified under A7, if it was actually a list itself it would not qualify for speedy delete. I am hoping Kevin Rutherford will explain in the draft why this web site is special so that it can avert A7 as an article. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:55, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Sami Brady and EJ Dimera.jpg

It was deleted without reason. The article is EJ DiMera and Sami Brady. -George Ho (talk) 21:45, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Marcwebbdirector.jpg

I had a administrator that recommended me to request in this page that the image on the fact that the image did more than simply "show a camera", but instead showed a notable director himself working with the camera in one of it's first use in a feature film... and explain that the deleting admin inadvertantly erred in that THAT depiction has no free equivalent, which suggests that the deleting admin might not have read the expanded FUR. I could also not find a substitute for such a image for the filming section like the guidelines they reference should suggest. Jhenderson 777 01:49, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]


That admin was me. The question in NFCC #1 on which deletion relied is "Could the subject be adequately conveyed by properly sourced text without using the non-free content at all?" What was overlooked in the speedy was that the argument for its use was not that it was simply a picture of a camera (which would have been likely replacable by a free image), but rather that it was an image showing a notable director actually using a specific camera in its first-time-use-ever in a feature film. In looking for citable sources toward this specific circumstance myself, I was unable to find any that dealt with the instance... making the image unique in its conveyance of information for our readers. Simply put, and included in the FUR, the image provided encyclopedic information that could not be replaced by properly sourced text. I too, request its refund.

Yes, BBC radio coverage Radio 6 , A BBC Radio profile on the band, published releases. Direct work related links to notable musicians/radio DJ's. Also, the Musicians in the article for the band in question already have a band page for things they did in the past which was accepted on lesser notability? Rumpus (band) also if you look at that link you'l see that Danny Lowe Also is a member of british band Babybird.
