Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion
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.
To contest deletions that have have already been discussed (in particular, at Articles for deletion), or that are likely to be controversial, please make a request at Wikipedia:Deletion review instead. |

Josh Wood Productions
Josh Wood Productions does not qualify for the speedy deletion criteria under section G4. This article is not a copy of a previously deleted article. This article describes absolutely deferent company than the one previously deleted for the lack of notable references. It is not identical to the previous article which was deleted. It is not unimproved copy of the previously deleted article. For the above mentioned reasons the article is clearly not qualifying to be deleted under criteria for speedy deletion section G4, therefore must be reinstated. Thank you very much for your time reviewing this issue. -Luisa Pisani (talk) 14:17, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Article equal to the following articles Silver Pictures, Samuel Goldwyn Films, Imagine Entertainment, Millennium Entertainment, Amblin Entertainment, Crystal Sky Pictures, Skydance Productions, ect... articles mentioned hereby do not even have references, although some of the articles created in October 2010, remains without any warning as it is clearly violates Wikipedia guidelines (better job to do). Josh Wood Productions was not identical to the previous article which was deleted. It was not unimproved copy of the previously deleted article.

Genius_Inside
After discussion with one of the wikipedia administrator, we have made substantial improvements to our company's page and believe all sources are now up-to-date and with solid references. Moreover, as one of the leading company in the project management software business, we do believe our page has an importance in this sector and in informing the users of project management softwares. At the beginning, our page was deleted because the administrator stated it did not "provide sufficient evidence that the company is notable" -Rbernard84 (talk) 08:56, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- The place you're looking for as indicated by Mark Arsten is deletion review.[1]. Here we could only give you back the text which you already have but not overturn the previous community discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Genius Inside (2nd nomination).

IACCM
Page originally deleted back in 2008 because it was an article ...about a company that doesn't assert significance. IACCM is now quite a significant entity in the contract management world. A formal article has been written located at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Association_for_Contract_and_Commercial_Management. The IACCM page should be undeleted so that a redirect to the full article can be established. -Bmickler (talk) 14:38, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- Done, but the new article needs work if it is to be kept. Every single reference is to the organization's own website, but Wikipedia's notability requirement is for references that show "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Also, it reads more like the organization's manifesto than an encyclopedia article about it. See WP:42, WP:Notability (organizations and companies) and WP:FAQ/Organizations. JohnCD (talk) 18:04, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Da-Wen Sun
As Orangemike's advice, I have carefully removed any promotion quotes. I believe the page is no longer promotional. However it was deleted unilaterally by Sandstein. Then Graeme Bartlett restored it, but it was deleted again by Sandstein. I believe the idea here is to improve Wikipedia, not to delete things that he does not like. By looking at the history, for some reasons, Sandstein has a strong view on the page although the page has been edited by many experienced Wiki Editors in the past few years -Mayonglan (talk) 03:21, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- Better take this to WP:DRV. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:17, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

- The subsequent two deletes are under criterion G4. This means that it is a recreation of the article deleted by a discussion (like AFD) without addressing the problems mentioned in the debate. For this situation it is bes to crate a sandbox version where you can improve the content with good sources, before it gets the chop. This is the delete log:
