Welcome. Please note that this page is NOT for challenging the outcome of deletion discussions or 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 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 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. Copyright violations and attack pages will not be provided at all.

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 in 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.

Westshore Town Centre

Requesting refund of the edit history.  Article was deleted today at AfD, and an attempt has been made to talk to the closing admin, link without getting a reply.  Meanwhile, another editor has restored the title as a redirect.  -Unscintillating (talk) 01:42, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Anybody can create a redirect over a title previously deleted by AFD. How does that invalidate the AFD decision? The article was deleted only today, and the same day you're posting a REFUND request without following proper procedure? Wait for the admin to respond, and go to WP:DRV if the response is not to your liking. ~Amatulić (talk) 18:24, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The admin has a semi-retired template posted, and is typically gone for days at a time.  So I don't expect to get a timely response there, in fact it has already been more than 24 hours.  I didn't come here to suggest that this was totally non-controversial.  However, I suspect that a refund is less controversial than a DRV.  The people here would know that better than I.  And I was hoping to get a decision, one way or the other.  Thank you, Unscintillating (talk) 00:03, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Already" more than 24 hours? When I post a question on someone's talk page, I typically expect a reply within a week. I'm often gone for 2 or 3 days at a time myself. There is no expectation or obligation for any editor, including administrators, to attend to Wikipedia on a daily basis. This is something we do in our spare time. Many of us aren't students anymore, but professionals with real-life demands of career and family. What is the hurry? ~Amatulić (talk) 14:24, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I didn't realize I'd be asking something difficult.  I will withdraw the request if you want, or continue to wait for a decision.  Unscintillating (talk) 00:15, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Unscintillating, it isn't difficult to restore an article history. It's basically a handful of clicks. That isn't the issue here.
An administrator won't unilaterally countermand an AFD decision of another administrator without first having a discussion with that administrator or in an appropriate forum like WP:DRV. That's a Wikipedia policy, summarized briefly at WP:RAAA. Countermanding an AFD decision isn't an uncontroversial act... and this page is for requesting uncontroversial restorations only.
Secondly, article history is routinely restored in cases where it's obvious something changed (common examples you can find on this page concern articles re-created from scratch for individuals who became notable since the original articles got deleted). On the other hand, the act of simply creating a redirect doesn't negate the AFD decision. Wikipedia has established procedures for this, namely (a) talk to the administrator, and if the response is unsatisfactory, (b) take it to WP:DRV.
I hope this explanation makes sense.
FWIW, I have brought a case to DRV after waiting a month for the deleting admin to respond. Wikipedia does't operate on a schedule. Things happen as they happen. Just be patient. ~Amatulić (talk) 02:49, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. Articles deleted in accordance with WP:CSD#A7 cannot be restored by request here. Wikipedia is not a personal web hosting service. Use Facebook for that. Also see Wikipedia:Autobiography -- you should not write articles about yourself, and even if you do, you shouldn't post them directly to main article space. ~Amatulić (talk) 13:46, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Cyclic corrosion testing

OTRS ticket:2014061610008596 allows using http://www.ascott-analytical.com/salt-spray-or-cct.html under cc-by-sa-30 and/or GFDL license terms -Ankry (talk) 08:19, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'll leave it to someone else to look at the ticket, but I'll warn you ahead of time: this will need some pretty big editing to put it more in layman's terms. It reads as a little too technical at times and really needs some serious editing for flow. That's kind of the big unsaid thing about using copyvio: even if the original content is given up as fair use, 99.9% of the time the content will need to be re-written anyway in order to meet our writing guidelines. Given that it's taken from a company's website, odds are it will also need to be edited to ensure that it doesn't read as overly promotional. I don't see the company's name listed in the article, but it is a little "yay, CCT" at various points. That's completely reasonable on the company's website, but on here we need it to be more neutral and encyclopedic. I just feel that at some point this would need to be completely re-written, so I really think that it would save more time if you were to re-write it in your own words, and if you get someone from one of the applicable WikiProjects to help you with tone, sourcing, and flow. Articles that are cut and pasted from another website are usually some of the most challenged articles on Wikipedia and the ones that remain are almost always re-written to meet standards and to avoid the usual issues that arise from cut/pasting from somewhere else. (IE, you'll always have someone tagging it as copyvio, advertising, or as a conflict of interest, as well as flow, NPOV, encyclopedic, and layman's terms. It's always easier to just re-write it. I can't stress this enough.) Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 14:15, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Tokyogirl79: for clarification, the requester is the OTRS agent, not the author of the article. The author is apparently an appointed representative of Ascot Analytical Equipment Ltd, who has released the page http://www.ascott-analytical.com/salt-spray-or-cct.html to the Wikimedia Foundation under the two free licenses, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license and GNU Free Documentation License.
If this were in main article space, I'd probably object to restoring it, but as long as it's in Draft space, it's a reasonable request, since the article was deleted as G12 and no other reason. I'm in a rush at the moment, so I'll get to this later today if nobody else does. ~Amatulić (talk) 14:33, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have no true objection to it, but I just worry sometimes that working from a pre-existing article (as opposed to re-writing it while using the company's page as a source) just makes it harder to re-write the article or fix things that need to be done. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 14:56, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Done, draft article restored and properly tagged. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:26, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ron G Holland

Ron is a genuine author who has been published for 35 years, by a major publisher (Harper Collins) and all of the citations that Wikipedia have requested have been supplied. "Save page" button below -92.26.6.13 (talk) 12:42, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not done The article has a very, very promotional tone at times and would need to be completely re-written to meet our guidelines. I did look at the sources and I have to share in the PRODer's concern that the sources would not be enough to show a depth of coverage, especially since they were from a specific point in time. We'd also need to be able to verify the sources a little and that the editor could not pull up enough sources to assert notability is also a big concern. I'm familiar with the editor in question (User:Bonadea) and if she couldn't find sources then that is pretty telling, as she is a hard worker. I'm really not sure that Holland would pass notability guidelines if this were to be restored and put through a formal AfD, and I think that deletion would be inevitable. The problem is that just being published through a notable publisher is not enough to pass notability guidelines. There are a lot of authors who can make these claims, some of whom are on the NYT's bestselling list, but has not received enough coverage to merit an article.

ChinaNetCenter

These are public articles from other sources which are already in Wikipedia"Save page" button below -Mileweb2014 (talk) 18:08, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not done The problem here is that the latest version of the article did not have any content. It was just a collection of links to various places. Of the other versions that were deleted, they all had issues with the article reading as promotional. What I'd recommend is that you create the company page via WP:AfC. Not only will this give you more time to work on the article, but you would also be able to get some feedback from people when you submit it. Creating articles in the mainspace can be a tricky thing, as you would have to make a fairly complete, neutral article in what's really a pretty short amount of time. That's why I personally recommend AfC, as it would give you more time to work on the article and learn the basic guidelines, and so on. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 18:57, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Circle Theater of New York

(This user used the preload form for AFC undeletion, but did not specify the name of the AFC draft they would like undeleted. Consider checking their deleted contributions.) 207.29.44.2 (talk) 18:29, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not done The AfC creation was very, very promotional- so much so that you will have to re-write the entire article from scratch to meet our guidelines for neutrality. It also reads like it was taken directly from a press release or some other WP:COPYVIO type source. I have no problem with you making a new entry, but the previously deleted version was so unambiguously promotional that I'm actually a little surprised that it wasn't deleted as such when the previous person declined it at AfC. I don't mean to sound harsh, just trying to emphasize that it would be better if you were to start from scratch and try to make it better fit our WP:NPOV policy.

It is not yet deleted, but it is very promotional. Your links help to show importance, but the style of writing and what is presented is not suitable for Wikipedia. Please stick to the facts and not try to make the readers want to support it. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:58, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Good heavens, that isn't an encyclopedia article, that's a promotional brochure. It's deleted now.
Andreaawaida, please do not re-create this article in main space. Use Wikipedia:Articles for creation instead. You clearly need some practice before we can accept an article from you in main article space. At Articles for Creation, your article will be evaluated by a neutral reviewer prior to acceptance. And you'll have more time to work on it rather than worrying about it being speedily deleted. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:30, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Marching Virginians

The Marching Virginians · ( talk | logs | history | links | watch | afd ) · [revisions]

This article contained a lot of good information about a large student group at Virginia Tech. It was a good starting point for people wanting to learn more about the civilian band at Virginia Tech, a much newer group than the Highty Tightys. The group is heavily involved in community outreach and a large part of the Virginia Tech sports traditions. The page also had information on a lot of internal traditions that not many know about but make the group so very special. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skanetic (talk • contribs) 00:00, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. Please address User:RadioFan's concerns given in the proposed deletion: Lacks significant coverage in 3rd party sources. References provided are to a single ESPN article, a letter to the editor of the student newspaper, and the university page promoting the group. I've also notified them in case they want to nominate the article for deletion by discussion. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 01:41, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Labor Camp-Musical Group

The page was deleted because the reviewer believes the band is not notable when the band members and producers are all listed in other Wiki pages. These were referenced in posted article. The article is indicating the status of the musicians involved, from "Nip Drivers" and Rosemary's Billygoat" -Disklxik (talk) 00:35, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, no, none of the members actually have their own Wikipedia articles, and of the two former bands mentioned that contributed members to this band, only Nip Drivers has its own article. WP:BAND criteria don't appear to be met. Also, you need to make your case to the deleting admin, not here. So...
Not done - this page was deleted in accordance with criterion for speedy deletion A7. If you believe that this decision was made in error, or that significant new information has come to light since the deletion, please contact the administrator who carried out the deletion, user Bbb23 (talk · contribs). If you have already done so, your concerns can be taken to deletion review. ~Amatulić (talk) 00:58, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the article was never deleted; it was redirected to the programme she works for]. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 05:16, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Then how do you restore the original article. You let Dot Moore have an article of her own and not her when they are the same basic kind of TV personality? How can I find the original text. I have proposed the deletion of a number of Mobile area figures. If you delete her it's only fair you do the same with them. Especially Estelle Peyton and Dot Moore.

THE EXISTENCE OF ARTICLE X CANNOT BE USED TO JUSTIFY THE EXISTENCE OF ARTICLE Y. I will once again point you to WP:Notability by way of explanation. If you don't like it, try to change it as opposed to complaining that someone should have an article based on the presence of articles on similar topics. (By that logic, I deserve an article because I'm a writer, and Eoin Colfer has an article.) —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 05:27, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They tried getting rid of the article 5 years ago and I successfully argued against it. They tried using notability as the reason and we did in fact establish she was notable. Go back to that discussion. I analyzed TV trends. This has been done solely because she is a Mobile, Alabama based TV figure from a long time ago even though she was one of the most important media personalities in the Southeast of her time. Which is make more ridiculous by the fact that the same kind of merger was not done to Estelle Payton

One of you could have come down to Mobile and looked at archival footage and old issues of the paper. It's an anti-Southern bias is all it is — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anro5785 (talk • contribs) 14:20, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Books Through Bars

Books Through Bars - Philadelphia is an important organization that has been doing what they have been doing for nearly 25 years now. It was deleted through a PROD process apparently. I know I didn't notice it, and I certainly would have contested it. Furthermore the idea as referenced that it was "concern was: Minor charity listed in many directories but virtually nothing actually written about it. Non-notable." is simply absurdly sloppy and seemingly lazy. Amongst the many articles written about them are recent ones referencing them in regards to censorship and prisoner education one of which can be seen at: http://www.pennlive.com/opinion/2014/06/the_dept_of_corrections_is_wag.html In addition, one can easily find many references to them on google scholar, google books as well as news archive and search sites like http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives -Centerone (talk) 07:59, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Magic Thermodynamic Box

  •  Not done You were advised MULTIPLE times that the draft was unacceptable, yet you persisted in resubmitting without acting on that advice. Such action is disruptive. This subject is not appropriate for an encyclopedia, and promotion like this will not be tolerated the panda ₯’ 12:03, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Seconded. The article was full of puffery, describing the company or product as "innovative", "revolutionary", "unique", as well as inappropriate editorializing ("it could be said that..."). You completely failed to read or comprehend any of the reveiwer's comments, failed to understand Wikipedia guidelines describing sources (see WP:Golden rule for basic guidance), and simply re-submitted the article without making any improvements to it. This would require a complete rewrite to make it acceptable. That is ample grounds for deletion as advertisement. There is zero benefit to the Wikipedia project in restoring something that only serves to promote a company or product. ~Amatulić (talk) 12:06, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: The article that was approved in AFC and subsequently deleted was deleted due to copyright infringement of the page http://www.agleventis.com/About/ag-leventis-in-general/ - otherwise it was a pretty good article. The replacement was more promotional, starting out describing the company subjectively as "leading" and has been accordingly deleted. I suggest that Dpapa187 start again in Draft space, not in main article space, and this time omit any promotional words and don't copy text from other websites. ~Amatulić (talk) 12:17, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reconstruction of automobile destruction

eleted via proposed deletion - after a search for the subject it seems notable. The article was deleted with the reason that nobody had added sources for 5 years, and for notability. One source here : [1]. It should be possible to find sources with the Google search Loftus Palmer automobile -Christian75 (talk) 12:03, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Done as a contested proposed deletion. I've taken the liberty of cutting the article down significantly. As you add independent sources to the page you can build the content back up but I find articles with few independent sources tend to attract less negative attention if they're kept short and their claims kept simple and general.

Note: The page was speedily-deleted under criterion A7.

Yes, you need to talk to the deleting admin, FreeRangeFrog, possibly about userfying the article and re-submitting via WP:AFC. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:49, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have a problem with userifying this despite the fact that it was a clear A7 with no clear assertion of importance. As long as you can tell us, in once or two sentences, if the subject meets at least one of these criteria and a link or two to verify the claim. Otherwise we're all just wasting our time. By the way, popularity is not the same thing as our notability requirements, although sometimes popularity does translate into general notability. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 23:07, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have provided @FreeRangeFrog: with what I believe to be credible evidence towards the page's revival, to which he disagrees with - the evidence I provided shows just as much significance as several other artist pages (ie, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yung_Lean), to which he also disagrees with. I'm hoping someone else could just give me the chance to add to the article with this information, as I feel it will supplement the page as needed. §Celestaphonecroak
See WP:OTHERSTUFF. The existence of anything else on Wikipedia has no bearing on this particular article. Each article stands or falls on its own merits. Countless articles about obscure musicians (particularly rappers) have slipped through over the years, which were created purely as fancruft or for publicity purposes, and should be deleted. The coverage you offered on User talk:FreeRangeFrog appear to be blogs or otherwise niche publications. I see that Impose magazine is cited by other articles, but then we're back to WP:OTHERSTUFF again; you'd have to go to WP:RSN to get a community consensus about whether that should be considered a reliable source. The album releases need to be on notable record labels having a roster of independently notable performers, so you'd have to make a case that the two labels you named qualify as notable.
By the way, tweak your signature style attributes, it looks so similar to FreeRangeFrog's that it can be confusing. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:05, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lisa Dalton (Lisa Loving)

I would like this page to be restored to me by email or in my sandbox so that I may continue to work on it. I believe that Lisa Dalton is a notable person because she has been one of the most influential people in the United States regarding the continued development and proliferation of the Michael Chekhov Acting Technique through her work with Mala Powers and the National Michael Chekhov Association (NMCA). I think the page was deleted because I was trying to follow a format I saw on another living person's page, Marjo-Riikka Makela, but err'ed in the choices I made about what to include. I think I can pair down the section on Lisa's acting career, include more about her work in the Michael Chekhov Technique, and submit through the Special:Mypage to better achieve my goal of proper submission.

@Josheard: Have you asked the deleting administrator GB fan? That should be your first step rather than posting on this page. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:10, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Amatulic: Is it our policy to defer on userifying CSD'd articles until the deleting admin has a say? Not asking to be snide, but things could've changed in the past year. Protonk (talk) 17:15, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Protonk: Well, A7 articles are ineligible for restoration by request on this page anyway. The boilerplate response template does advise the requester to contact the deleting administrator. I have always felt that template should be tweaked to include the possibility of userfication when the petitioner contacts the admin. Then I could have used that template for this case.
While there is no specific policy, it has been standard practice and common courtesy, for as long as I can remember, that the deleting admin should be the first person consulted regarding an article that was deleted for a potentially contentious reason (such as A7 or G11, and especially for AFD).
This is a borderline case to me; it could have been deleted for having almost no substantive content (the article was just one sentence) but it was deleted as A7 instead. Often I will investigate an A7 nomination before deleting the article myself, and I appreciate if I am given the chance to explain my rationale first before some other admin decides to restore or userfy it. In some cases I have had reason to decline userfication also. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:25, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not advocating restoring it to mainspace, which as you note is outside the scope of this forum. But I don't see executing an A7 as a marker of a special relationship to an article; someone tagged it, the admin agreed and it gets deleted. Nor do I think it represents a veto chit on restoring content insofar as the reason for deletion is obviated. In this case, it's an article which doesn't assert importance, turning it into a user draft eliminates the first consideration and potentially the second. It doesn't make acting on the request automatic and certainly an admin can defer to the deleting admin out of courtesy, but for cases where the material isn't per se proscribed in userpace, then I don't see the problem. I'm only pressing this issue because 1: the template notice ({{Db-notability-notice}}) does say to bring this exact type of request here (and IMO it's right to do so) and 2: the purpose of this page as I understand it is to provide a relatively bureaucracy free route for users to have material un-deleted when it is possible to do so. That includes not having to hunt down the deleting admin and craft a personalized argument on their page. The only reason to not do this would be if we felt the deleting admin had some position on the disposition of the content regardless of the namespace. Were that the case (e.g. copyvio, attack pages) they would've used the corresponding deletion reason. Further, even a non-admin could recreate the page and obviate the reason for deletion (either by starting a draft or updating the article to meet A:7) without asking permission from an admin, let alone the deleting admin. They shouldn't be constrained from doing so when they get to that point by following the instructions we give them to the letter. Protonk (talk) 18:57, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Protonk:There is no need for undeletion because there is a draft at Draft:Lisa Dalton which you can continue working on. This was explained to you at the time the mainspace article was nominated for deletion. Rankersbo (talk) 07:02, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not done The page was deleted because it came across as unambiguous promotion. Phrases such as "Coming from different countries and nationalities, the HOST1PLUS team members share different experiences and ideas, this helps the brand to stay open minded and flexible to ideas and new places where they can provide their services" come across as advertising. It reads as if it came from a press release or is something that someone in the company's advertising department wrote. I'm not against the company having an article, but the company must pass notability guidelines by having coverage in places that are independent of the company and in-depth. You cannot use the company's official website, routine database listings, or press releases. Also be aware that if an article reads as if it was taken directly from a press release, that article will not be considered usable. We're not really here to "raise awareness" per se- the company must already be notable. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:50, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not only was it deleted under WP:A7, but it was also deleted under WP:G13 as unambiguous promotion. As far as the sources go, they do not seem to be the type that would extend notability because they all seem to be WP:PRIMARY sources such as routine database listings. It is expected that companies will have themselves listed in various databases, so that cannot show notability. The article's overall tone was so promotional that it would require an entire re-write to pass our guidelines for neutrality. As far as it being WP:USEFUL, we cannot keep an article solely because it is useful. The article must pass our notability guidelines by way of coverage in independent and secondary sources. As far as what came across as promotional, a good example is the sentence "DET is goal and people oriented towards making website ownership and management an easy task to carry out." That's the sort of thing you read in press releases promoting the company and is considered to be inappropriate for Wikipedia. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:44, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
