Wikipedia:Deletion review/Perennial requests
This is a list of perennial requests on deletion review. Please read this before requesting undeletion of any of these articles. Repeated requests every time some new, tiny snippet appears on the web have a tendency to be counter-productive — it is almost always best to wait unless you can decisively overcome the issues identified at deletion.
Please be aware that requesting review of a frequently-reviewed case without an exhaustive and compelling case, or bringing substantial new evidence not seen in previous reviews, may be seen by some as tendentious.
John Bambenek
Self promotion has been an ongoing issue, as well as use of sockpuppets to stack the raw opinion counts. Deleted by 3 of 4 AFD discussions (one of which was the result of new information presented at a deletion review). Has had more than 10 deletion reviews. By some of the later deletion reviews, nominators and/or opiners were using them as a platform to attack a living person. Will not be considered until an established editor presents a well-sourced draft.
Battle for Dream Island
Battle for Dream Island (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (a web series) was deleted, salted (even in draftspace) and title-blacklisted because of excessive attempts at recreation and associated disruption. If somebody finds reliable sources that establish notability for this topic, they should request unsalting a draft page at WP:RFPP and provide these sources there. See Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2022 October 19 and WP:Why is BFDI not allowed on Wikipedia?.
Chris Chan
Article used in a harassment campaign, recreated under a dozen different titles and deleted and salted each time. See e.g. discussions from 2022 affirming this outcome at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2022 February 11, Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive335#Creating the "Chris Chan" article.
Template:Support
Along with Template:Oppose, etc. Though these templates are widely used on other Wikimedia wikis, the consensus on the English Wikipedia, demonstrated over numerous discussions, is that they encourage voting rather than discussion aimed at the generation of consensus. Editors wishing to add the images to discussions can add the text importScript('User:Pythoncoder/Scripts/voteSymbols.js'); to their personal JavaScript page to provide the functionality of the templates. Any request for undeletion should provide new arguments, rather than simply asserting that prior consensuses were wrong, or it is likely to be closed speedily.
Priyanka Choudhary
AKA Priya Choudhary, Priyanka Chahar, Pari Choudhary. Actress and reality TV contestant where consensus is she has not met notability requirements. Article keeps being recreated at variations on her name. See previous AFD, two of the many DRVs 1 2, SPIs (1, 2, 3, 4).
- Although the last deletion review was closed only a few days ago. We have been asked to come here with respect to the notice made by @Stifle in their talk page: [1]. As already stated by us several times in several places, Priyanka Choudhary has passed WP:NACTOR and WP:SIGCOV through her various roles. There is significant coverage supporting the same in the latest deleted version of Priyanka Choudhary deleted by @Stifle on 3rd April 2024 at 9:43 am.
- Infact there was an ongoing discussion which involved @C.Fred, myself Amma&Papa and @ManaliJain in the talk page of the subject which clearly proved that the article did have new information on the newer roles with reliable sources which made the subject notable. So, please kindly review the deletion and restore the article so that it can be subjected to a new AFD where a new consensus can be reached.
- Honestly, it is "unfair" that the Wikipedia admins are constantly penalizing the other editors who have no connection with the past and would like to create an article of Priyanka Choudhary by following the community guidelines while there are so many articles like Abhishek Kumar (actor), Isha Malviya and Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia which are kept even though the subjects aren't notable.Amma&Papa (talk) 07:17, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
K. Annamalai (BJP politician)
AKA Kuppusamy Annamalai, Annamalai Kuppusamy, Annamalai K. (note that this is a different subject from K. Annamalai of the AIADMK party). BJP party functionary; consensus at several AfDs is that he is non-notable. Frequent recreation under several different titles led to salting and title-blacklisting. There have been multiple attempts to hijack the article on the AIADMK Annamalai and replace its content with the BJP Annamalai. See Talk:K. Annamalai#Page protection for a full list of XfDs, DRVs, and discussions regarding this subject. Also see the DRV that determined the path for recreation.
