Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by PathfinderPL (talk | contribs) at 15:46, 16 April 2010 (→‎United Solo: new section). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

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.

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}}.

Human design system

we need this page on wikipedia and it was deleted by just a couple of people, and they appear to be on sabbatical now ? -Mikemahalo (talk) 14:48, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So I write something here? If I understand correctly, wikipedia exists precisely to allow collective neutrality on all topics, including controversial ones. The article was deleted for petty and wrong reasons, each of the reasons is uninformed. It may well be controversial when you put it back but not for the petty reasons in the deletion discussion, how absurd they are! the article can be improved to wiki standards, give it back to the public, there are others willing to assist now with this. The admins who deleted and attacked it appear to be on wiki leave and cannot be contacted easily, so new admins need to decide about all this. Mikemahalo (talk) 14:48, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As I told you above and on my talk page, please take it to WP:DRV. Thanks! --Fabrictramp | talk to me 01:09, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Finally got the gist of WHY the original article was deleted, ok. I am working on a minimal new version here - User:Mikemahalo/Human Design

not quite sure what this page is here, if this is not requests for undeletion, then I got confused by something that led me here appearing to be a place to request undeletion. Never mind, step by step...

If you like, you can make a request for feedback on your draft. Cheers, Arbitrarily0 (talk) 17:23, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for everyone who commented - the auto bot is coming to archive this, good. I have made a draft and now a new VERY BRIEF and simple article under the more usual name Human Design, and here we go. Mikemahalo (talk) 12:17, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The stub I created was deleted unfairly and without respecting the guidelines given to me. All the work I made has been removed, the title has been rendered out of bounds, and the moment is lost - this is the week of the annual convention in Toronto and many people were interested and COULD NOT FIND either MY user space version or any deleted page or ANYTHING.

XpanD 3D

subject is notable Wikipedia is improved by the existence of this article, which is about one type of 3D technology and is poorer for not having such an article. This is a technical area and it may not be possible to come up with the numbers of references in the popular media that some editors are insisting on having to prove notability. Further, even within this field (cinema technologies) there is not that much in the way of PRINTED media coverage. The fact is that most of the technical discussions about these things among technicians and users is actually taking place online (places like film-tech.com). How does one assert notability? That doesn't mean that this is such an obscure thing that it doesn't deserve an article. On the contrary, the person coming home from the cinema from seeing a 3D film and recalling the brand name on the glasses and is curious what it means ought to be able to come to Wikipedia and be able to find out.

3D in cinema is all the rage these days and there are a number of technologies which all work in completely different ways. Dolby 3D, Master Image 3D, RealD 3D, XpanD 3D, IMAX 3D all work in different ways. And within the last two weeks there is now also Technicolor 3D, yet another system working in yet another way. The fact that in each case a viewer is handed a pair of glasses doesn't mean they all work the same. I would think a person who is wondering what these terms mean ought to be able to consult his/her friendly Wikipedia and find an article with a brief explanation for each. Most of these others do have articles. This one should too.

I note Wikipedia has an article on "Disney Digital 3D" which isn't even a process at all but just a marketing name they stick on all their 3D movies which are then shown by ALL of the above mentioned systems (except Technicolor 3D...they have not signed up for that as of this writing). Kind of funny that an article about something that is just piece of marketing puff can stay but one about something that is real and in use in hundreds of cinemas should be pulled. And I'm not suggesting removal of Disney Digital 3D. People ought to be able to come here and look it up and see that it's just a name just like they should be able to look up XpanD 3D and learn how it works and why it doesn't need a silver screen when most of the others do and interesting things like that.

I have no vested interest; I do not work for any of these firms, hold stock in them, or profit in any way from their use.

 Done G4 deletion out of process as no discussion ever occurred. However it is still likely to be deleted due to lack of notability, so please add more text. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:40, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I take it then that Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/XpanD (2nd nomination) was for different entity altogether? —Korath (Talk) 05:45, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The article there was quite different, but entity still similar. The article is different enough to not qualify. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:03, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

please undelete again. it was clearly sourced as world leading technology in active shutter glasses. --77.64.143.209 (talk) 22:01, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Inge Lynn Collins Bongo 2

Biography of the former spouse of an African president -Aengw (talk) 23:56, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's a couple of things I don't understand about the deletion, so I'll drop a note to the deleting admin and get more info.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 13:18, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It was a BLP issue. The article consisted entirely of weakly supported derogatory allegations several of which were based on copies of primary sources hosted on scribd. There was a repost which didn't have this problem but which had no references whatsover. It seems that people looked into this and found that there were not sufficient third-party reliable sources to justify having an article at all. There would be nothing to source except the negative information, and that only to unreliable sources. That's my take, at least. Having any article at all is a BLP disaster waiting to happen. IMO it should be salted against any recreation. Yworo (talk) 14:24, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Frankly, this one may need to go to deletion review. The most recently deleted version was definitely not a BLP issue (it consisted solely of "Inge Lynn Collins, also known as Inge Alia Bongo (born December 15, 1960) is a Los Angeles African American socialite and the first wife of Ali Bongo Ondimba, the current president of Gabon."), and I respectfully but strongly disagree with the admin who deleted it as a G4. And if we salted any article that was a BLP disaster waiting to happen, we'd have almost no articles on living people.
Given that there wasn't much content to restore, I'd suggest to Aengw that you start a version as a draft in your user space or at the article incubator. Make absolutely sure that everything in it is neutral and sourced, and get feedback at WP:FEED before moving it into article space.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 14:09, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
While the most recent version was unobjectionable in content, it cited no sources whatsoever, inviting further uncited material. Yworo (talk) 17:37, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Swissôtel Sydney

Originally this page was deleted for reasons that it was an advertising page. This was a page that would serve the function of telling other people about the hotel and where it is. it only stated general information that i thought people would like to know about the hotel. please undelete this page, it does not serve the purpose of advetrtising in any means it is purley a reference for other people like me that want to know information about this hotel. thank you -68marketstreet (talk) 04:44, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see the unambiguous advertising in the article, but G11 isn't something we unilaterally restore here. Your best bet is to drop a note to the deleting admin, Nick-D (talk · contribs), and ask for clarification and a possible restore. If you can't make any headway there, you can take it to deletion review, but make sure you talk to Nick-D first. HTH--Fabrictramp | talk to me 13:30, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've responded to this editor on my talk page declining this request on the grounds that the only reason they want to create the article is to promote it (their stated reason for wanting the article was "this page was built with no advertising intention at all, it was simply a page that told people like myself about the hotel and where it is and what it has to offer" - which is pretty much what an ad is). As their user name is also the hotel's street address (see here) the conflict of interest is pretty obvious and I've blocked them. Nick-D (talk) 09:32, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've since received an email from 68marketstreet (talk · contribs) asking to be unblocked. Their email address leaves no doubt that this is a marketing exercise. Nick-D (talk) 11:42, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

videotage

the name of the organization 'videotage' has appeared on the page of 'video art' under the section of 'List of video art organizations'. I intended to add a page of 'videotage' to provide more information about this only video art organization in hong kong, asia. However, the page got deleted, and even being removed from the page 'video art'. While Videotage is a significant organization that runs the archive of hong kong video art over the last 20 years, I could not comprehend why other organizations such as video data bank, V tape from Canada or Perpetual Art Machine from NY are allowed to have a page of its own but not videotage. I concern that this is because wikipedia only acknowledges those organizations that are well known all over the world, but ignore the significance of asian organizations that could be crucial to the development of video art. I hence am hereby requesting the undeletion of the page 'videotage' and also requesting wikipedia to restore videotage's entry on the page 'video art' under the section 'List of video art organizations'. I hope there is a reasonable treatment on this issue. Thank you. -Alvischoi (talk) 15:07, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Done - the page has been restored to your userspace at User:Alvischoi/Videotage. You may work on improving the article's assertion of notability at its new location, but please contact Nyttend (talk · contribs), the administrator who deleted the page, before moving it back to the article space.

tnXman who deleted my page has major ego problems and deleted my page with no legal reason, wikipedia policy regarding notability has no legal binding authority and therefore my page as part of my human rights should and will be accessible to all Adbhuk (talk) 21:31, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done The Wikipedia community is a set of volunteers who are entitled to, and do, set their own standards for what subjects to allow in the encyclopedia. The standards they have chosen are explained at WP:Notability and WP:Notability (people), and the reasons why you should not write about yourself at WP:Autobiography. Having written a blog does not make you notable, your human rights have absolutely nothing to do with it, and attacking other editors will not help. JohnCD (talk) 22:03, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The standards are not legally binding, the entitlement to delete is not legally binding. You need to provide a more adequate reason for my page to be deleted, also it is not an autobiography so get you facts straight.Do you know human rights law, if you did you would know that freedom of speech is one of them, what was stated in the page comes under that freedom of speech. Restore the page, thank you 90.206.99.247 (talk) 20:51, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Free speech: "Some contributors apparently believe that because the Wikimedia Foundation is incorporated in the United States, and because the Wikipedia servers are located in the US, that contributors retain the right to freedom of speech on Wikipedia, as protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. This is mistaken, as that Amendment only protects speech from government censorship. It does not require that a private, charitable organization like the Wikimedia Foundation give a soapbox to all comers." JohnCD (talk) 21:23, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gonzoe

This article was erroneously deleted. Gonzoe is a recording artist of Blocwize Ent. and a prominent rapper who has appeared in classic west coast hip hop for the last 15 years including songs with tupac shakur and ice cube, and a Gold selling album with his group Kausion. Gonzoe is also referenced in many other wikipedia articles. We believe the article was deleted by a rival artist out of spite, however Gonzoe remains an important figure in hip-hop and this article should not have been removed, thanks -Blocwize (talk) 23:21, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

9/11 Truth Movement

Seeing as Dr. Judy Wood is the only person to have filed her evidence with the courts in pursuit of truth and justice, and also considering that one of her court cases made it all the way to the Supreme Court, I think it is fairly obvious that the following information needs to be included in the 9/11 Truth Movement Wikipedia Page:

1. I think that Dr. Judy Wood's Journal of 9/11 Research & 9/11 Issues needs to be included in the external links section alongside the other Journals of 9/11 Research.

2. I also think that her name needs to be included in the Adherents of the 9/11 Truth Movement, especially considering she is the only person to actually take legal action, in addition to scientific research, in pursuit of 9/11 truth.

3. I also think that her legal efforts, especially the Supreme Court case, needs to be included in the History of the 9/11 Truth Movement, as it was the only court-case ever filed in pursuit of 9/11 Truth, and it made it all the way to the Supreme Court.

In 2007, Dr. Judy Wood filed several legal cases against the National Institute of Standards & Technology's (NIST) contractors for science fraud, and legal requests that NIST’s fraudulent data gets reexamined[1]. The filings in these legal cases included Requests For Corrections (RFC) based on the Data Quality Act[2], and Qui Tam whistle-blower cases[3]. Dr. Wood is the only 9/11 researcher who has submitted evidence to the courts in pursuit of the truth.

These are obviously supposed to be on this Wikipedia page, so I truly question the motives of those who are deleting this information. Her effort speaks for itself, and this information needs to be included in the 9/11 Truth Movement Wikipedia page for the sake of honesty and accuracy. Please help. Thank you, -Abe '''Abraham Hafiz Rodriguez''' (talk)

 Not done - not a request for undeletion. The place to discuss these matters would be Talk:9/11 Truth movement, where you'll be greeted by editors more familiar with the subject. Good luck, Arbitrarily0 (talk) 12:32, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Response: but they keep on deleting the information... so I am appealing it. '''Abraham Hafiz Rodriguez''' (talk)

It is very easy to verify all of the information posted, I am his son so I did not need to site the information because I did not want to research him so that I could site a source. However, if whoever erased the page took the time to check the legitimacy of the information, they would have seen that it is all correct. If they had even "Googled" his name, all of the information is there.

All Wikipedia articles need to have sources. While you may know the information (and please take a minute to read WP:COI to see why it's not a good idea for you to write about your father), sources are still required. --Fabrictramp | talk to me 19:20, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: please read WP:Verifiability, one of our fundamental policies, which includes: "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether readers can check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true... The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material." It is up to you to cite references to verify what you say. JohnCD (talk) 20:19, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Acoustic PC

The article was about an incorporated company in Florida which sells computer parts specially for quiet computer work, one of the first companies of its kind. Therefore, the article had signficance. Though it was unfinished (a stub, by all means), it did not break neutrality, nor did it have an unfair POV. -169.235.53.116 (talk) 21:22, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The version that was deleted said "Acoustic PC, Inc. is a computer hardware company based in the United States. Founded in June of 2005, AcousticPC.com sells hardware and computer parts geared towards silent computing." and gave no indication of importance at all. Feel free to sign make a new version of the article at the Article Incubator with some reliable, independent sources showing the significance of the company. Get some feedback at WP:FEED before moving it into article space, and you should have a much better chance of success.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 21:30, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

VIVA Punta Leona

This project existed in Jaco Costa Rica. The article featured several links to supporting documents on the Web. There was no logical reason to delete the article - it was unbiased and told a very important story about what happened after the project was canceled. -Necterg (talk) 02:05, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Professor Iqbal Singh

Page was deleted as it didn't have any references. Now some references to published articles have been added. -Vivian2009 (talk) 13:38, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The page was deleted because it was tagged incorrectly by a bot as a copyvio and the deleting admin was a moron who wasn't paying attention. I restored it and tagged it with the new WP:BLPPROD. Now the article has some references and the BLPPROD has been removed. something lame from CBW 13:46, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Olaf Seier

I am working on that article right now. It is still not finished. It's gonna get big. But i am not familiar with wikipedia.org, therefore i didnt know about and dont know how to deal with "references". I was just translating the German article into English, so my reference is the German article, if that's appropriate. Thanks. -Freiheitsgedanke (talk) 16:27, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article has not been deleted - the tag on it says that it will be deleted on 22 April unless a reliable source is provided for what it says. German Wikipedia is not a reliable source (no WIkipedia is), but the article there should give sources. More advice on your talk page later today. JohnCD (talk) 18:18, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wrote the career and found a reliable source. Everything must be fine now. :)--Freiheitsgedanke (talk) 20:56, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and another editor has removed the PROD. Well done. I have added to the article talk page a {{translated page}} template, which is necessary because the license terms require that if material is translated from another Wikipedia we must provide a link to give credit to the contributors there.

SFera

SFera is national science fiction society of Croatia, which gives national awards for science fiction, publishes the only sf magazine and annual collection, organises the national sf convention, and beside, every croatian sf writer is its member. I think it's very strange to delete the national science fiction society, as small the country is. -Tomsak (talk) 13:47, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SFera is the longest-standing SF society in that part of the Europe (founded in 1976) wit over 30 organised SF conventions, lately with participation of over 800. It has established the only national SF literary prize and is a moving force of SF in Croatia generally. As I understand, the deletion notice has been on for only seven days so I beg the admins to reconsider. -Izitpajn (talk) 14:10, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tiofoto

14:05, 9 April 2010 Polargeo (talk | contribs) deleted "Tiofoto" ‎ (A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content))

Is it possible to have this page Tiofoto - sent to me. I made the mistake of publishing it before it was ready. It was suppose to be a contribution to the photographers that are mentioned on the page - many of them world famous and most of them not longer with us. I would like to work on the page as to get a "green" light on it.

We believe our page was deleted by mistake. The administrator responsible for the deletion is apparently no longer with Wikipedia so we did not go through him/her. We simply wish to have the page restored so that we can update it with our new location and other current information.

 Not done There is no point restoring the article, which contained no content at all, only a link to your website, and was correctly deleted (13 minutes after it was input, on 26 Jan 2006) as it did not meet Wikipedia's minimum standards - this is an encyclopedia, not a listing directory, see speedy deletion criterion A3 No content.

Dancers Against Deja Vu Minneapolis, MN

it's a verified web page and I am Paige Lindberg myself; therefore all sources are true and correct, the victims are cited on the facebook web page as well that I cited as a source -Dancersindanger (talk) 22:19, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely not. I am not saying you are being untruthful or that any of the information is incorrect. That is not the problem. The problem is that this is a page that is very clearly attacking an organization without any third-party (independent) reliable sources backing the claims and it also has a named person as a victim, which immediately invokes our biographies of living persons policy, requiring excellent sourcing with high quality citations verifying every fact listed. There are other problems with the pages suitability as an encyclopedia article, such as the massively non-neutral tone used throughout, but those I've already listed render it a non-starter.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:29, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have references in the article! -Fderik0 (talk) 06:35, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article has not been deleted, only tagged for deletion on 23 April unless sources are added to confirm what it says. If you have sources, please add them - the only one at present is the link marked "Official website" which goes to a game site which requires username and password. You tried to add a link to Facebook, but that has been removed as contrary to our external links policy, and in any case is not a reliable source because you can write anything there. While we need some reference to confirm that what the article says is true, there is the separate question of notability, which requires to be established by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Also please read the guidelines on WP:Autobiography and WP:Conflict of interest. JohnCD (talk) 11:19, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article was deleted on the basis of it being not notable I contend this that after 12 years and three radio series, sell out performances in a theatre, audiences averaging over 1000, and a TV pilot to be broadcast later this year as well as various local charities that we support through caberets etc that we are a notable production company based in the NE of Scotland.

"we"? What is your connection with Flying Pig Productions? --Orange Mike | Talk 21:19, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The article as written gave no indication of all that. I have restored it into your user space at User:Steverance/Flying Pig Productions where you can work on it; but check out what we mean by notability, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and press releases. When you think the article is ready, get comments by posting a request at WP:Requests for feedback; and check with user Tnxman307 (talk · contribs), the admin who deleted the article, before you move it back to the main article space.

maharaja chaat bhandar

The given reason for the page's deletion was that it was advertising/promotion. I said nothing about the quality of the food other than the water used in preparation is bottled. Can someone at least restore it to my sandbox and let me know what I need to do for it not to be considered advertising (by the way I am only a diner, and have no idea who the owner is). It was deleted less than a minute after posting...which, in my opinion, is a rush to judgment. Finally, I have searched for other restaurants, i.e. Greens restaurant in San Francisco CA, and found them with descriptions such as "landmark" which is much stronger language than anything used in my article -122.169.150.210 (talk) 23:46, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
