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 rejected Articles for creation drafts), 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 diirectly 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.

Lia Tarachansky
Morgan Spurlock is also a documentary maker whose work (and conclusions) are detailed in his entry; thus, describing a documentary maker's work is not promoting a political belief, it is describing the work of a public figure. Seen in this light, the removal of Ms. Tarachansky's page is tantamount to politicized censorship. She is a Canadian documentary filmmaker whose work interests me and I would very much like to read more. -99.247.185.195 (talk) 06:47, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
Not done. Although this was a PROD nomination, the deleting administrator, user DGG (talk), considered that it also qualified for speedy deletion criterion WP:CSD#G11 unambiguous advertising or promotion. Nearly all the references were clips of her work from the network she writes for, and the article seemed something of a WP:COATRACK. To establish WP:Notability in Wikipedia's sense would require references showing significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources about Ms Tarachansky, not just about the issues she writes on. I suggest you discuss this with DGG; he might be willing to restore the article for a discussion at WP:Articles for deletion, failing which you may appeal at WP:Deletion review.

AutoTURN
reasoning -Cjohnstransoft (talk) 23:19, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
Hello to Grahame Barlett,
You recently deleted a page/article called AutoTURN. We would like to request it's reinstatement, as we were in the process of adding content to enable the page to meet Wikipedia's guidelines. As I understand, we were deleted for being too promotional. We would like to point out that a competitor in our marketplace (Autodesk) has a very elaborate Wikipedia page which has numerous promotional items on the page. We are a small software company, so we don't have the huge writing staff that Autodesk has, but we do have a legitimate story to share on Wikipedia. We will write diligently to create a fact-based page that tells our story in an objective way.
A simple Google Search for AutoTURN generates multiple links for the product. There are over 30,000 users of AutoTURN in 120 countries, so we do have a following.
We respectfully request that our page be restored OR at least that we have access to the content that was stored there.
Thank you.
Chris Johns

thanks
Userfied. The article said only "Alex Foster is a British rugby league player", and had been like that for over an hour. If you want to take time over developing an article, the best way is to make a draft page in your user space by clicking Help:Userspace draft and filling in the title. That makes a draft page which you can work on until it is ready to publish.

Comment: I created this article stub in good faith and it was rejected for lack of notability. This is a rather subjective guideline in general, and since there was nothing wrong with the article itself, it seems needlessly wasteful (and discouraging) to delete it. It's not like the article takes up a significant amount of storage. Destynova (talk) 19:08, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
Done - as an Articles for creation submission deleted under CSD G13, the page has been restored on request. Please edit the page to address the issues raised when it was declined, and re-submit it; "Articles for creation" is not for the indefinite hosting of material found to be unsuitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia.
- The submission was not "rejected" in April 2012 - only declined as not yet suitable for the encyclopedia, with an invitation to do more work on it. It was only deleted after it had been left untouched for more than 18 months, so that it appeared that you had abandoned it.
- WP:Notability is not a subjective criterion: it asks for evidence of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", see also WP:Notability (summary). Rather than the subjective "do we think this important or significant?", it asks the more objective question: "Is there evidence that people not connected with this think it important or significant?"

Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. I will notify user DGG (talk), who proposed it, and who may choose to nominate it at WP:Articles for deletion, which would start a debate lasting seven days, to which you would be welcome to contribute.

File:Onsert.jpg
Was moved to commons, who have since deleted it because it contains an image of a copyrighted work; no fair-use rationale is available on commons -Josh Parris 09:30, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
- So what is your fair use rationale? This is obviously not public domain. The source however is evident from the picture, so a di-nosource is not appropriate. However it is not licensed freely. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:51, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
- Are you talking of the newspaper or the image not licensed freely? I'm unable to see the licensing information, but as the uploader I imagine I would have PD'd it - however, it was a long time ago. The image is not to illustrate the newspaper, but the onsert placed upon it; The image meets all of the fair use criteria:
- No free equivalent. Onserts are only placed onto commercial, copyrighted publications
- Respect for commercial opportunities. The newspaper issue in question is many years gone; there is no commerical loss to the publisher
- Minimal usage:
- Minimal number of items. One newspapers.
- Minimal extent of use. Only the above the fold part.
- Previous publication. The newspaper issue in question is many years gone
- Content. The image is educational, illustrating an article.
- Media-specific policy. Image meets Wikipedia:Image use policy.
- One-article minimum. used in onsert
- Contextual significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding. Check.
- Restrictions on location. used in onsert
- Image description page. Can't comment, I can't see the image etc.
- Also, OTHERSTUFFEXISTS (I know), but look: File:Newsstand.jpg has plenty of copyrighted works depicted. It's on commons. Josh Parris 00:00, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

I have no idea why it doesn't fit the rules. I have seen other pages similarly short about 1 specific person who has no real historic significance, but is an active participant in current events in a local area. I am a teacher, and an artist, I have seen other artists posted on wikipedia. I also can not contact the guy who deleted it (MrX) and ask him for why he deleted it, and how I can improve it so it won't happen again. -MathGeek83 (talk) 17:02, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
Not done. I am sorry that Wikipedia does not make clearer at sign-up time that it is not a social-networking site like LinkedIn or Myspace for people to write about themselves. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, and writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at WP:Autobiography and WP:Conflict of interest. For other articles you may have seen, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS; the inclusion criteria are in fact quite demanding, requiring evidence of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources, see also WP:ARTIST. JohnCD (talk) 18:59, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
So basically, the others got there first, you won't take them down because they were there first, and no one else can do it, because you've changed the rules after they got posted. When I see these similar sites, should I send you messages about them for them to be deleted too? I didn't realize that wikipedia considers a description about an artist and educator to be the same thing that would be on that persons social networking site. I certainly kept it extremely professional. How many citations would be required? I have been published, my work exhibited, and interviewed. What exactly is required? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MathGeek83 (talk • contribs) 13:53, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
- The expected standards are set out at WP:Notability and WP:Notability (people). If, having read those, you observe pages which you think do not meet their requirements, you are free to tag them for deletion as described in WP:Deletion policy; but please also read WP:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. Note that the threshold for speedy deletion is no credible claim of significance or importance, which is a lower standard than notability.
- The difference from social-networking sites is that they are intended for people to tell the world about themselves, but Wikipedia explicitly is not, in order to avoid conflict of interest and maintain a neutral point of view. Even notable persons are advised to leave it to someone else to write about them.
- For further advice, read what I wrote to another autobiographer at User talk:WilHarris#Advice, ignoring the references to WP:MUSICBIO which is a special notability standard for musical performers. JohnCD (talk) 15:45, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

I do apologize for submitting and incomplete article but I was in the process of adding the information (such as charts, references and other data) to create the article and was unaware that the article would be contested so quickly. The group is a legitimate and well established band and will probably get an article even if I cease to edit it. If you choose to not restore it, could I at least be given the source code so I can continue to edit the article and provide a better article. Thanks again.
