Welcome. Please note that this page is NOT for challenging the outcome of deletion discussions nor to address the pending deletion of any page.
Shortcuts

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.

File:Alphonse Allais - Funeral March for the Obsequies of a Deaf Man.ogg

While I admit the file is silly, that's Allais' point. We also have his completely white canvas. "First Communion of Anaemic Young Girls In The Snow". He's one of the predecessors of the Dadaists; that it's bizarre is the entire point. Adam Cuerden (talk) 07:55, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File:MartiequNYC14.jpg

sculpture is PD no notice [1]; in addition to FoP, deleting admins should check SIRIS for copyright fomalities. then, migrate to commons. -198.24.31.118 (talk) 21:54, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Freedom of panorama does not apply to statues in US. Artist died in 1973 and statue built in 1959. At this point I am unconvinced by "no notice". Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:13, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
lack of freedom of panaroma is not a license to delete. if you don't understand US PD no notice, then you have no business making deletion decisions. 198.24.31.118 (talk) 21:15, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Beinfield Architecture PC

Fix copyright information on images -Danielar2 (talk) 16:51, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not done -The page Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Beinfield Architecture PC itself has been deleted as copyright violation. The 'fix' here is to start from scratch and write every sentence yourself. --Tikiwont (talk) 18:32, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Javelin (band)

we are a still functioning band with a new album coming out 3/5. the page deletion was a result of lazy band administration. thanks -Bjornborgnine (talk) 20:29, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not done - this article has not been restored because it does not appear to meet our guidelines for inclusion of articles concerning music. In general, Wikipedia considers a topic to be notable if there exist multiple reliable sources of information on the topic, external to the subject itself. Articles concerning musicians or music groups 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. Also, you have a self-proclaimed conflict of interest. Lastly, throwing unfounded accusations around is not really earning you any points. Lectonar (talk) 15:39, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File:Photolarge.strausz-hupe.jpg

head shot of deceased ambassador; there are no free images [2]; rationale can be added as required. -198.24.31.118 (talk) 20:51, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File:MartiequNYC14.jpg

this statue is Public Domain, no notice formalities as required by US law. if you don't believe me, or the Smithsonian Inventories of American Painting and Sculpture database [3], then read "Due to these requirements, statues and art installed in a place open to the general public prior to 1978 are likely in the public domain if they do not comply with copyright formalities." Commons:Public art and copyrights in the US, in addition another picture by Shankbone is in the commons. [4] -198.24.31.118 (talk) 20:58, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Joe Vaz

I have no idea why my page was deleted, according the reason given on the page it was due to "Not notable unreferenced autobiography. No significant coverage in independent reliable sources". I find this very odd since a) I am an actor working in major international motion pictures and television, and b) since the page contained links to my official website at JoeVaz.com as well as to my imdb page, http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1978748/, both of which, I think, 'provide significant coverage in independent reliable sources'. Run a google search upon my name and you will find books, films, television programs, reviews and interviews about and with me. I do exist, and I am in the public eye, so I do not see why my page should be removed. -Fridgerat (talk) 02:16, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not done - this article has not been restored because it does not appear to meet our guidelines for inclusion of articles concerning people. In general, Wikipedia considers a topic to be notable if there exist multiple reliable sources of information on the topic, external to the subject itself. Articles concerning people 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. Your own website is not independent; and the IMDb is not considered a reliable source. Besides, lots of people in the IMDb are not notable: I ought to know, I'm one of them. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:13, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This has nothing to do with unambiguous advertising or promotion. I am a public figure, mentioned on several pages already on wiki with no wiki profile. Have some links.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Race_2
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agatha_Christie%27s_Marple

http://www.horrorsociety.com/2008/08/25/interview-joe-vaz/
http://www.radiodramarevival.com/category/audio-groups/something-wicked/

And I hardly think 28 acting credits and 95 news articles on imdb is 'not notable'
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1978748/news
I just find it a little odd that every one of the films I have worked on is on wiki, with my name in the credits, and yet you feel that having a wiki page for Joe Vaz is unnecessary. I thought the point of wiki was to be able to cross-reference information. I was obviously wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.132.180.69 (talk) 11:32, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

axvault.com

reasoning -108.20.187.56 (talk) 14:42, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AxVault is significant because it is not a for profit business yet and it has created a new use for the web. I wish we made money.

This description may get to the essence of the new concept better. ’AxVault online guitar archive, introduced the concept of web based records for historical provenance and the idea of “virtual Provenance”: i.e. utilizing the crowd sourcing of the internet to help identify and create a web based pedigree for guitars and other collectibles.

maybe we are not wording properly. There is no website that is that has attempted this concept. I believe it belongs on Wikipedia. Our concepts are very original.

From: Mindscape Sent: Saturday, February 09, 2013 5:17 AM To: Wikipedia Subject: Question about a deletion

Hello,

I was searching to edit content on Mindscape Band and it shows it as non-existent anymore. I am wondering if it was vandalized or removed by someone in an abusive manner. I can’t even find an instance of its existence anymore and appreciate any help one can offer.

Thank you for the support.

Creator, founder and copyright holder to all Mindscape material www.mindscape.ws


two users show as deleting the US bands page after over 8 years of ethical actvity and acceptable use and standards with Wikipedia. I would like to contest the deletion and ask that Wikipedia please reinstate the band's page. There are no known dead links, or invalid info that is linked to the bands page. Phantomsteve was notified of communication with Wiki admin support via PM, also unclear on why site would be deleted. Can support documentation with supports emails. It is all copyright protected info and validated information from cited sources in accordane with Wiki policy. Thank you for assistance -Mindscaperussia (talk) 11:22, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Farrah Sarafa

reasoning -68.175.11.52 (talk) 14:57, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Farrah Sarafa is a notable Palestinian poet, who has won awards and helped support justice, peace and understanding of the situations in the Middle East -- Iraq as well -- at large. There is speculation that article was deleted by a pro-Israeli propagandist--- trying to wipe out any mention of Palestine.

Please reinstate ==> shouldn't take down valuable references to a region in conflict .... Her poems are being studied in schools around the world and are present in textbooks.

 Not done We don't normally undelete pages that were deleted through speedy deletion criterion A7 here in any event, though I do question whether it met that standard—certainly I would have declined an A7 given the content—and it might very well be overturned at Wikipedia:Deletion review if properly brought there, but note that even if this was a proper topic for undeletion here, such as a article deleted based on a prod, I would not undelete the article based on your request because it contains an unsupported, scurrilous assertion of bias as the basis for the deletion. We should never allow even an appearance that an undeletion request was carried out because it was in any part acceding to such uncorroborated rumor mongering, as granting your request might by viewed.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 17:46, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ol Parker

I don't see why he isn't notable. The guy was nominated for a BAFTA, has written the screenplays for plenty of movies, and is married to a somewhat famous actress. And now there's all this redtext where he was linked to! I never saw the page before it was deleted; was it poorly written? -TheSavageNorwegian 18:53, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Zan Perrion

I'd like to examine this article. The first AfD for the article resulted in keep based upon the availability of reliable sources. The second AfD resulted in delete, apparently based upon sources within the article, rather than the availability of sources. (See also WP:NRVE.) Requesting userfication to further check into this matter. If granted, please send me a note on my talk page about the location of the userfication. Thank you.

Userfied - the page has been restored to the userspace at User:Northamerica1000/Zan Perrion. You may work on improving the article's assertion of notability at its new location, but please contact The Bushranger (talk · contribs), the administrator who deleted the page, before moving it back to the article space. Please see the criteria for speedy deletion and the relevant notability guidelines - articles that are not in compliance will be deleted. Yunshui 雲‍水 11:04, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

subject's career is really taking off and the deletion is blocking my ability to correctly and appropriately create a page on the subject. The article was originally deleted because of lack of notoriety of the subject which has now changed. -Warchief1072 (talk) 01:05, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Not done Deleted article is a copyright violation of the related IMDB page. You'll have to start from scratch, and, if you paraphrase the IMDB article that closely again, the result will be deleted again.—Kww(talk) 01:12, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I am interested in retrieving an old article titled "CalArts School of Film/Video" It was a article based on research that I know longer have on my own computer, since the hardrive has since crashed. I am intestered in re-writing the articles to be more lean, and put in on the main "California Institute of the Arts" page.

Thanks

This group is a charity foundation that has just started few months back from a simple chatgroup. The article is not done yet I was just on the introduction part that is why the context of the page is not clear and may violate the conditions of Wiki. I would like to make this article be restored because I want this group be known to other people so we can gather more support. Thanks -Bull3780 (talk) 15:25, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not done and will not be done "because I want this group be known to other people so we can gather more support" is totally in contradiction to what we do here. Wikipedia does not exist to promote your noble cause. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:37, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew Payne

Article was speedily deleted under criteria A7: "Article about a real person, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject" but the article mentioned that Payne played senior cricket for Somerset. While the terminology is vague, the indicates that he meets WP:CRIN, and should certainly not have been speedily deleted. A reference was present in the article, albeit not an inline reference. -Harrias talk 17:02, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mazhar_Mallouhi

Mallouhi is a significant figure in Muslim-Christian relations and the page should not be deleted simply because of lack of proper documentation. -Chicomatic (talk) 08:27, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Having looked over the deleted versions of the article, there's virtually nothing there that could be reused; the grossly POV tone and lack of citations make it thoroughly unsuitable for Wikipedia. A better course of action would be to recreate the page from scratch, using reliable sources and neutral language. Yunshui 雲‍水 14:09, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ziron

The page has been deleted several times, i'm pretty sure it passes the wikipedia criteria and is being deleted by those that have no knowledge in programming or programming languages, it was stated that it did not have notable sources, which were added, the following list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages is a list of programming languages which has many that have almost no notability which all remain, after trying to leave a response about the deletion, the comment was just deleted without an answer, this seems to be some admins abusing their rights without good reason to delete the article. -78.83.46.47 (talk) 14:30, 14 February 2013 (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/Ziron, 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 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. Lectonar (talk) 14:56, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
