Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Egarcia2057 (talk | contribs) at 20:29, 10 May 2016 (→‎User:Egarcia2057: new section). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Welcome. Please note that this page is NOT for challenging the outcome of deletion discussions or to address the pending deletion of any page.

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.

no Declined. We already have that article in main space: SolarReserve. As the reviewer stated, if you want to make edits, propose them at Talk:SolarReserve, not by starting a new draft. It could have easily been deleted in accordance with WP:CSD#A10, which would disqualify it from restoration by request on this page. ~Amatulić (talk) 05:28, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fun Spot America / Fun Spot USA

See Below -- Aalox (Say HelloMy Work) 19:48, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This request is actually for the content of two pages, Fun Spot America / Fun Spot USA, which I propose merging into a single article called Fun Spot America Theme Parks. These two theme parks are larger then, or comparable to a number of other parks on Wikipedia (examples Go-Karts Plus, Oaks Amusement Park, Wild Island and Adventure City. There already exists two articles about rides inside the parks (White Lightning (roller coaster) & Freedom Flyer (addmittly the Freedom Flyer article is very poor, but the other one is pretty good. The park is also a glaring absence on a number of other pages and lists, such as Great Coasters International, Zamperla, Suspended Family Coaster and Skycoaster. The Skycoaster list in particular, shows the parks as having the worlds tallest two examples of a skycoaster type ride. Rather notable in my humble opinion. In either case, I would appeacatie a dump of the best verision of both pages into my sandbox at User:Aalox/Fun Spot America and User:Aalox/Fun Spot USA. Thank you -- Aalox (Say HelloMy Work) 19:48, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The two pages would still need to be undeleted and turned into redirects if approved. - Aalox (Say HelloMy Work) 19:51, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Another Notable fact, the park has the first and I believe still only wooden roller coaster in Orlando, Florida, the "The Theme Park Capital of the World" per the second paragraph of the Orlando Article.- Aalox (Say HelloMy Work) 20:46, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
While searching for other mentions of the park that already exist on Wikipedia (I simply added the link brackets, [[]], or corrected from a variation of the name, nothing else, I did not add any mentions to the park), I also found the park was featured in an episode of Extreme (2009 TV series), another example of notability.- Aalox (Say HelloMy Work) 21:28, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Wow, they were pretty bare and deletion the first time for both seems more then justified. Was hoping I would get a little bit of a head start, guess not. When I get a working article, can I move it myself out of user space into article space or do I need additional review first?- Aalox (Say HelloMy Work) 11:05, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You could move it yourself, but I would suggest you consult one of the deleting admins, or even ask me whether it would survive a db-corp nomination beforehand to avoid another speedy deletion! If you add enough independent references you should be able to get over that problem. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:37, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
How is this for a start? (User:Aalox/Fun Spot America) There is still a lot I could add, but I think at this point it is already better then a number of other small amusement park articles.- Aalox (Say HelloMy Work) 13:12, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It looks good enough to move to an article now. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:07, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

German American International School

This deletion happened years ago. I would like to improve the article. Main argument used in discussion for deletion referred to it as a status as school. Deleting just because it is a school is not consistent with treatment of other schools. -Pegcoon (talk) 04:28, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Pegcoon:  Not done because there is no deleted article by that name. The nearest thing I found was German-American Institute, Nuremberg, which isn't deleted although there's a deleted version from 2009 that was so promotional in tone it could have easily been deleted in accordance with WP:CSD#G11, which would disqualify it for restoration by request on this page. ~Amatulić (talk) 05:36, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like they may have been referring to German-American International School, which was deleted at AfD back in 2012. In order to restore it, they'd have to ask Hut 8.5 first. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:41, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well, German-American International School was never deleted. It was just redirected. There are no deleted edits, which is why I didn't find it in the deletion logs. All the contribution history is still there for anyone who needs it, so there is no need for administrator assistance from the AFD closer. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:39, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As noted above the page hasn't been deleted, and the AfD is a little old. However there was a solid consensus at the AfD that the subject isn't notable enough for a standalone article, and I don't see any attempt to address that. I would suggest that the OP start working on a draft in their own userspace and move it to article space once they have added further references to demonstrate the notability of the subject. Hut 8.5 21:33, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Tried that and then it is getting deleted immediately again with reference to the old deletion. We are going in circles. -Pegcoon (talk)
What you're talking about isn't deletion, it's just people replacing the contents of the article with a redirect. This has to be handled through the normal dispute resolution process for disputes about the contents of articles. As nobody is deleting the page (as in pressing a delete button) this isn't the right venue. Hut 8.5 21:58, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
So "replacing the content with a redirect" is not deleting although to replace the article with the link you actually "press the delete button" on the complete content? Even more if the redirect link is going to content that has nothing to do with the article all? interesting loophole. furthermore this topic getting referred from one "better venue" to another - Pegcoon (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:35, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Pegcoon: You aren't understanding something. This isn't the right venue because nothing has been deleted. Replacing content is not the same as deleting an article. The older content is all still there in the contribution history. Any user can retrieve it by clicking on the "History" tab and looking at the various revisions.

Requests on this page are for restoring articles that have been physically deleted, so that the article no longer exists and appears as a red link if you attempt to link to it. Think of it as moving a file into the trash can or recycle bin on your personal computer. In that case, an administrator is needed to bring the article back. But in the case of your request, nothing has been deleted, nothing is inaccessible, there is no administrator intervention needed, and no need to make a request on this page.

If you and another editor are disagreeing over what content that title should have under it (whether it's a redirect, or article prose), then you are having a content dispute. Resolving that dispute requires discussion on talk pages, and generally doesn't require administrator intervention. You can also go to Wikipedia:Third opinion to get a third opinion, if there is a discussion to review on the article's talk page. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:25, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For years the Wikipedia page on Wordsworth's "primal sympathy" was the highest-rated and most-visited page on the Internet related to the topic. It was heedlessly deleted, and was a genuine scholarly topic and is often discussed in college and high school literary classes. Please restore this page. Thank you.

The page was labeled "blatant hoax", though it is straightforwardly accurate and quite real. I asked, polity, that the person who deleted it review the decision, and that if they should refuse to reinstate it, that they return the information, as I do not have it. The result was that they deleted my account, from which I was communicating to them, without a word.

If for some reason the page is unacceptable or breaks a guideline, though it is wholly accurate, I would much appreciate that the contents be returned to me. Thank you.

Above it says "Note that requests for undeletion is not a replacement for deletion review"

If this is not the "deletion review" I would like to ask for one. But, I can't understand how that is done, although I have followed that link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.229.6.155 (talkcontribs) 00:50, 4 May 2016‎

 Not done. I can see why this was thought to be a hoax, because the Amazon link goes to a search listing books by many authors called "Broder" and neither of your books appears on the first page, the Twitter link is dead, and a Worldcat search, which we usually use to check out an author, finds nothing.
Looking further, I find that your books are on Amazon, and I accept that the page was not a hoax, but I have not restored it because I don't see anything that suggests that you meet the (rather demanding) standard of WP:AUTHOR for a Wikipedia article, and Wikipedia is not a place to write about yourself, even in sandboxes.
I will email you a copy of the text if you enable email on your Wikipedia account, (which has not been deleted). To do that, while logged in click on "Preferences" at the top of the screen, and at the bottom of the "User profile" tag enter your email address (which will not be visible to me or anyone) and check the box marked "Enable email from other users". JohnCD (talk) 09:46, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for acting on such an expedited basis. I believe I have initiated my email setting, and so could you please send me a copy of the text and links, or simply the whole page, if that is possible?

Addendum: I will only add, that I could easily fix the links so that they reach the books and works directly.

On the "WP:AUTHOR" standard, I understand why you fairly sight it, though, I believe, I can sight those who feel my work is both important and that I have originated a universally significant new concept or theory. though, I admit, it is not widely known. And my work has been reviewed favorably here (though I could not link directly to the page, do to the nature of the websight): http://users.tpg.com.au/epbyrne/texts/# — Preceding unsigned comment added by Astimulation (talkcontribs) 23:15, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Anveshrao9: Not done - this Requests for Undeletion process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially, and does not apply to articles deleted after a deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted after a discussion took place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thakkallapally Dayakar rao, it cannot be undeleted through this process. However, if you believe that the outcome of the discussion did not reflect the consensus of the participants, or that significant new information has come to light since the article was deleted, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user Malcolmxl5 (talk · contribs). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review. JohnCD (talk) 16:21, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

The following statements regarding, "Blatant misuse of Wikipedia as a web host" are untrue. I definitely wasn't trying to use Wikipedia as a web host. I have had my own my own hosting site since 1995. I don't need another web host.

I have used your Wikipedia site since the early days of Wikipedia on the internet. I just thought it would be nice to include some good swing dance information on Wikipedia for the swing dance readers.

Let me tell you why I have angered your people. I got angry because your people would not help me. That is except for one person who helped me very much. However, there over 20 of your people sending me over 20 negative Wikipedia response pages because I disagreed with them on some issues.

First, they all said I couldn't use any biography material Second, they said I couldn't use any web links. That may be the Wikipedia policy, but there are many times the policy is completely ignored in many Wikipedia pages. Let me give you an example:

Film & TV actors Wikipedia normally include some biographical information. They also include web links to their home-page, imdb.com, and sometimes other links. Many other Wikipedia pages also have similar information. I know this because I have used Wikipedia for many years for my real business of "Entertainment Talent Coordination" throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Dancing is my hobby. I have been dancing for over 50 years. I danced in over 400 competitions back in the 1960's and 1970's including the World Swing Dance Championship at the Palladium in Hollywood, CA. I still go dancing about four nights per week which makes me happy. Not bad for an 80 year old person.

I would appreciate it if you reconsider restoring my proposed Wikipedia page and also sending the page to your Wikipedia Dance Group.

Thanks,

Hubert Leon Raper (Redacted)

I have redacted your phone number and email address (this is personally-identifying information that we're strongly encouraged to remove on sight) and removed the copy of the deletion log (redundant with what is visible at the redlink). Please do not repost the personally-identifying information. No comment on the merits of the request. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 03:20, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that any oversight is needed as this was a self revelation. Also the content looked to be a bona-fide attempt to write an article, not just a hosting attempt. Therefore I think that this should be reconsidered by the deleting admin User:GB fan. The way to do it is to ask User talk:GB fan nicely to reconsider and restore the page. One option is to get this back as a draft at Draft:Hubert Leon Raper. Of course it is best not to write about yourself, please read WP:autobiography.

Note: This page was deleted under speedy deletion criterion G11, indicating an page that was irredeemably promotional or blatant advertising. Note that G11 deletions are more an issue with the tone of the page as opposed to its sources or formatting.

  • Not done I'm going to say that this is going to be a "not done" because there was very little content and there appears to be a better version on your userpage, which I've moved to the draftspace. I've left some warnings about creating your own biography and also about editing with a conflict of interest. As far as the userpage content goes, you can have some limited content on your userpage but it should really only pertain to you as a Wikipedia editor.

I just need my written material back so that I can rewrite according to wikipedia guidelines. -Sameersodaye666 (talk) 06:03, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Since this was speedy deleted you should ask User:SpacemanSpiff who deleted it. In this case it may be possible to rewrite it in a less promotional way and I would suggest using a draft to do this. But at this point it is of unclear notability so I will not unilateraly restore it without SpacemanSpiff support. However note that I did decline an A7 speedy delete on this in a previous more promotional write up. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:08, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the article passed A7 in that importance was asserted but not G11 as it essentially read like a resume with no reliable sourcing to back it up. Nothing linked the laundry list of ventures to the article subject. I don't have any objection to it being undeleted and sent via WP:AfC. —SpacemanSpiff 07:16, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

COD (film)

this article about upcoming feature film 2016 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sksamudre (talkcontribs) 13:07, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sksamudre:  Not done. Wikipedia is not a place for people to promote their unreleased films. :As you are the producer, you have a WP:Conflict of interest, and should read that page and the Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.
As suggested at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/COD (film), I have moved the page to Draft:COD (film) where you can work on it. Because of your COI, you should not repost the article directly, but may use the "Submit" button on the draft to send it for review when it is ready.
It will not be accepted now, because it does not yet meet the requirements of WP:Notability (film). It needs references giving substantial independent comment about the film, not just re-hashes of your press release. Those are not likely to be available until after the film is released and has had independent reviews. I suggest you wait until then before re-submitting.

Dear Wikipedia Members, Please may I request you to undelete the page INTERNATIONAL_SOCIETY_FOR_KRISHNA_CONSCIOUSNESS with url https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INTERNATIONAL_SOCIETY_FOR_KRISHNA_CONSCIOUSNESS I wrote in the last 24 hours.

(1) My username at the time INTERNATIONALSOCIETY was one of the grounds for deletion according to member 331dot, although I cannot see why this generic descriptive username was a problem, I have changed my username to Cyan4 and this was accepted by Wikipedia process.

(2) The other grounds by two other members was the page name "INTERNATIONAL_SOCIETY_FOR_KRISHNA_CONSCIOUSNESS" sans content was same as "International_Society_for_Krishna_Consciousness" and my account was blocked. I went through unblock process and was unblocked from contributing by another member Boing! said Zebedee, thank you.

(i) Please tell where my deleted content kept has been filed because I cannot find it Wikipedia archives or please email to my account email address.

(ii) Please may I request you to undelete page name "INTERNATIONAL_SOCIETY_FOR_KRISHNA_CONSCIOUSNESS" I wrote in in the last 24 hours because even though from non-upper and non-lower case differentiation the two pages "INTERNATIONAL_SOCIETY_FOR_KRISHNA_CONSCIOUSNESS" and "International_Society_for_Krishna_Consciousness" verbally sound same, there is an unique and unusual distinction between them from a written perspective and legal document perspective. This was mentioned in the contribution. The distinction is basically "INTERNATIONAL_SOCIETY_FOR_KRISHNA_CONSCIOUSNESS" is non-corporatized descriptive and means everyone including animals and what-not, whilst "International_Society_for_Krishna_Consciousness" is corporatized to a 501(c) organization founded in NYC in 1966. Because Wikipedia page name system has upper and lower case sensitivity this very much helps in explaining the distinction and removing the ambiguity. -Cyan4 (talk) 16:44, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Differentiation by using all CAPS is meaningless and not acceptable here Legacypac (talk) 17:04, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Please show evidence in the Wikipedia rules about your claim. If email addresses can be case sensitive, why cannot Wikipedia page names? Cyan4 (talk) 22:26, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
We don't need to point to a rule when common sense dictates otherwise. The only reason you want this name is because you're attempting to confuse the two or borrow their credibility for not-entirely-kosher reasons. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 01:59, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
We do not permit usernames which imply shared use, and I will note that 501(c), in the American tax code, is a tax-exempt charity, not a corporation. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 18:39, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Then suppose Wikipedia members have either username HUMANSOCIETY or surname used as username CORP, are these also banned? Any artificial person is a "body corporate". Cyan4 (talk) 22:26, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Then we should also suppose that your attempt to use Wikipedia to advertise is doomed to fail. I'm not playing your Socratic game. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 01:55, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tim D'Annunzio

Can this please be restored to my userspace as User:Edgarde/Tim D'Annunzio? D'Annunzio is a borderline notable figure who failed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tim D'Annunzio because despite his perennial political candidacies he has never held office, and probably won't ever. Aside from that, his privately-produced anti-Obama commercials received a smattering of national notice a few years back—perhaps one day there will be an encyclopedic reason for his inclusion.

Please let me know if this is the wrong forum for this type of request. -edg 22:14, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Edgarde: Hi! This actually is the wrong forum, since it was deleted at AfD by Michig. You'd have to ask him if he'd restore it first, which he might do since all you're asking for is userfication and the article would likely merit recreation if he wins the election in November. I've pinged Michig here so he can see this request. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 03:25, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Some redirects from userspace

The deletion of redirects was pointless. The Traditionalist, who moved the pages appears to have requested deletion. But that G7 request is invalid as G7 is applicable to redirects created from page move only when then the requestor also happens to be the creator of the page that was moved, which is not the case here.

  • Well... there's really no need to keep these redirects either and it's usually expected that there will be no redirects from the userspace to the mainspace. There's just really no purpose for keeping them around and deleting redirects of this nature is considered to be non-controversial. I guess one of the bigger questions here is this: what would Wikipedia really stand to gain by them being restored? I'm going to ping three people to this discussion: Sphilbrick, since he was the admin that deleted the redirects, The Traditionalist, who requested the page moves, and Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ), who originally made the pages. Unless Richard particularly wants the redirects restored and/or there's a particularly strong need to have them, I don't really see where it'd be necessary to restore these redirects since the most important part (that Richard created the articles) will remain in the article's history - along with a record of where the pages originated. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:42, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think there's any value in keeping them. I have forgotten why the tTraditionalist moved these from draft space to mainspace, but we don't want cross space redirects. I agree with TokyoGirl who pinged Richard; if he wants them restored we can discuss, but I suspect he really wants to know where they are now, and he does. There might be some nitpicking violations of the rules but there's no value to the project and having these redirects exist.--S Philbrick(Talk) 12:56, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To be really honest, the only reason I requested the deletion of the redirects was that they had crowded my contributions and I wanted them removed from there. Of course this is not in any way a sufficient reason to delete them, but because, as Tokyogirl79 pointed out, we tend to delete such redirects I decided that requesting a deletion was legitimate. If Richard wants them restored, then I am not even entitled to have a say on it.--The Traditionalist (talk) 21:00, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Astimulation: Yes check.svg Done, copy emailed, sorry for the delay. JohnCD (talk) 21:26, 7 May 2016 (UTC)"

I didn't receive it. Was it sent to my gmail account or somewhere else?

The "email address confirmation" seemed to have gone through in the Wikipedia account.

@Astimulation:. I don't know what's going on here. I used the "Email this user" link which should send it to whatever email address you entered in the "User profile" tab under "Preferences".
I have now sent it three times, and each time promptly got a notification that my email address had been "unsubscribed due to multiple message delivery failures" and asking me to verify it again. I didn't associate that with your message the first time, but today it happened twice more. "First time is happenstance, second time is coincidence, but third time is enemy action".
Please check the email address you have entered under "Preferences", because there is evidently something odd about it. Best way to get the sandbox copy to you would be for you to use the "Email this user" link under "Tools" in the left-hand sidebar on my user page to send me a message, and I will reply to that.

Note: This page was deleted under speedy deletion criterion G11, indicating an page that was irredeemably promotional or blatant advertising. Note that G11 deletions are more an issue with the tone of the page as opposed to its sources or formatting. As articles deleted under G11 need to be rewritten from scratch, they will not be undeleted as-is here; try contacting the deleting administrator (Jimfbleak (talk · contribs)). Alternatively, you may request the page be restored as a draft or to have the contents of its last known revision emailed to you provided you have email enabled in your account's preferences.
