deleted page

Hello,

I'm with Lieberman Software. We noticed that the Wikipedia page about our company was deleted. I am writing to request that it be restored. We can make edits if need be, but the page is very similar to the ones that our competitors have. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyberArk

Thank you in advance.

@Ksfranks: Hi, in regards to the CyberArk page, a deletion discussion for the page concluded that, although the tone of the article is promotional, the company itself was deemed notable for inclusion on Wikipedia.

Due the the nature of the page of your company at the time of its deletion, which didn't assert notability and appeared entirely promotional, I'm afraid you'll have to start it from scratch since it was. I implore you to take look at the notability guideline for organizations and companies to not run the risk of having your work deleted again under the same circumstances, as well at the conflict of interest page as you are associated with the company. The articles for creation venue may be of help and can further guide you. — ξ^xplicit 23:57, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

File:Silent Night.JPG

Hi Explicit! How do we, if at all, delete this image? On what basis is it eligible? Prima facie, it was uploaded by a user who is now inactive, plus the image is not used anywhere. Best, Nairspecht (talk) (work) 06:27, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

@Nairspecht: The image can be nominated for deletion at the files for discussion venue. At the top of the page there, it lists possible reasons to nominated a file for deletion. — ξ^xplicit 01:10, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Okay. Nairspecht (talk)

Spiral Shades Page Deleted

Hello my friend the reason for your deletion of the Page "Spiral Shades" I created doesn't justify and I feel i have given enough credible resource to back it up. Inside wiki there are articles of band which are live and don't even have enough credible data to back their claim. Plus I am not sure which metal sites you are referring to. I have provided authoritative sites like teamrock which is one of the biggest metal news agency, metal underground, roadburn(biggest annual doom metal festival), theobelisk and metal-archives.com which is one of the biggest metal band. Not sure how would i recover this article and would request you to reconsider the submission. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riverside1289 (talk • contribs) 05:25, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

@Riverside1289: Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. — ξ^xplicit 00:01, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Multi Expression Programming page

Hi, I have noticed that you deleted the Multi_expression_programming page because of "Lack of notability". On Google Scholar there are 528 references to this method (papers or citations). Why it is not notable? How many papers/ citations must have a method for being included in the Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moltean (talk • contribs) 10:08, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

@Moltean: The page was proposed for deletion by another editor; this request remained uncontested for seven days, which resulted in its deletion. Would you like the page to be restored? — ξ^xplicit 00:01, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

@Explicit: Please restore it. Also restore links to it from the other Wikipedia pages which also have been deleted. Who has proposed it for deletion? Thanks.

@Moltean: Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. On the 'View History' tab on the article, you can see who proposed it for deletion. — ξ^xplicit 00:16, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

@Explicit:Thanks, but there were more things missing there. For instance it was a screenshot from a software. Now, that link is with red. Also, there were some links to this page from other Wikipedia pages. Please restore them. Also, I do not understand what do you mean by " by citing reliable secondary sources". There is a citation from a NASA conference. Is a NASA conference not a reliable source? I wrote a dozen of papers about this method. Also Google Scholar mentions 527 papers about this method, papers written by various authors. Should I put all papers at references?

@Moltean: I've restored the image and the links to the articles where I was able to find them. The sources currently included in the article are primary sources, which don't establish notability on the topic. You need to include references from publishers that are reliable sources—which are defined as "published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy" that are independent from the subject itself. You may also find the general notability guideline helpful. — ξ^xplicit 23:49, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Deleted Page

Hi Explicit,

I'm with the company KLAS research. I saw that the Draft:KLAS Research page was deleted, marked as advertising or promotional only. The concern is that there are other companies who are within this industry, arguably less notable, who have live wiki pages. Citations from secondary independent sources were used within the page (just as many as are in other companies of this kind's pages), so what else needs to be done in order for the page to avoid deletion? I understand there are concerns - given I work for the company that the article is about - but I cannot make edits if I do not know what changes need be made before the page is deleted. I've read through the articles discussing these things, and thought that I had followed those criteria fairly well. It seems that was not the case, so: specific guidance on this particular article would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

JaredJeffery (talk) 15:35, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

@JaredJeffery: Hi. Draft:KLAS Research was deleted because the nature of the page was largely promotional, even if that was not the intention. Its focus centered around company's products, services, and methodology; nothing on the page established the company's notability. Additionally, some of these sources were problematic: healthinformatics.wikispaces.com is a wiki, which does not constitute a reliable source; the Yahoo! Finance source is a press release; and two sources were directly to the company's website, a primary source. I implore you to take look at the notability guideline for organizations and companies for a better understanding of what is required of such articles, as well at the conflict of interest page as you are associated with the company. — ξ^xplicit 00:45, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Content for my deleted Page

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time out to review my page submission.

I have learned that you have deleted my page.

It states the reason : G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion (TW)

Would you please let me know what exactly was promotional in my page's content? I have tried my best to give a general opinion about the hotel and used a few articles as resources which talk about the hotel's recent events.

I would also like to view the content of the page as I don't have it saved anywhere else.

Since only you have the access to view the deleted pages, can you please give me the access to view my deleted page's content?

Once you let me know the reasons behind deleting my page,I will modify my content accordingly and submit it again.

My page is titled as Draft:Hyatt Regency Mumbai, the link to which is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Hyatt_Regency_Mumbai

Thank you so much

@Anchal17: Hi, Draft:Hyatt Regency Mumbai was deleted because the nature of the page largely focused around the hotel's rooms, services, and facilities; it was promotional in nature more than anything else. There was a lack of significant coverage from independent reliable sources which establish the hotel's notability. I implore you to take look at the notability guideline for organizations and companies for a better understanding of what is required of such articles. — ξ^xplicit 00:02, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

@Explicit: Thank you so much for responding. Sorry to bother you again but please consider JW Marriott Mumbai which says that the hotel has great ocean view rooms and suites, which is also promotional. Why wasn't this page deleted? Also, could you please restore my article so that I can work on the existing content? Anchal17 (talk) 06:12, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

@Anchal17: Your draft page was deleted because another user marked it for speedy deletion as being overly promotional. JW Marriott Mumbai was not, but I will give it a look to see what needs to be done. Please note that this is a "other stuff exists" argument, which fails to address the concern of the page originally deleted. I can send you the page's contents via email once you enable other users to do so via the "Preferences" link at the very top of the page. — ξ^xplicit 02:03, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

@Explicit: I have made the changes in the preferences. You can email me the content at anchalagrawal_17@yahoo.com. Thank you so much. Anchal17 (talk) 06:13, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

@Anchal17: I've sent the email. — ξ^xplicit 03:06, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Xavier West Wiki Page

Hi there,

My page was recently deleted and I don't know why this has occurred:

The link is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xavier_West

If you can please advise how I can have this page restored and what I need to do to fix this page should there be an issue that would be most helpful.

I'm a working actor and need to have a wikipedia page for people to refer to my credits.

Thanks for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by XavierWest111 (talk • contribs) 07:07, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

@XavierWest111: Hi. Xavier West was proposed for deletion by another editor; this request remained uncontested for seven days, which resulted in its deletion. Since it was deleted through a process which is considered 'uncontroversial', you are allowed to simply request the page to be restored. However, I must suggest to you to read Wikipedia's conflict of interest page, as you are the subject of the article. Please note that Wikipedia is not the place to post your resume. — ξ^xplicit 00:02, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Help with Paik Seung-ho

Hello, just noticed that you deleted the Paik Seung-ho page. Was interested in improving the page to meet requirements for inclusion but wasn't sure how to proceed so wanted to touch base with you. Do I restart a brand new page or can I have access to the deleted article so I can use that as starting point for revising? Any advice on next steps would be appreciated. Thanks. Melonbarmonster2 (talk) 17:05, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

Pearse Park (Cambuslang)

Hi, I see you deleted this page last week due to lack of notability. I don't disagree with that, particularly as the park has not been used for its intended purpose for some time. However the land still exists (the goalposts have gone and the grass needs cut, but for the moment it is clearly a playing field# and in my opinion it is of minor interest to people living locally who may be unaware that it is/was a GAA field rather than rugby, so I am hoping to add some of the information as a side note on the page for the district where the field is located #Eastfield, Glasgow#. I am also planning more changes to improve that page. If you agree this would be acceptable, could you maybe send me the text of the deleted page if you are able to do so? Thanks. Crowsus #talk# 21:41, 25 October 2016 #UTC#

@Crowsus: Hi, I can email you the text, but I can also restore the article so you can improve on it. Which option would you prefer? — ξ^xplicit 00:02, 26 October 2016 #UTC#

@Explicit: Hi thanks for the reply, the text would be fine, I don't have anything to add to the page and you'd know better than me if it is worthy of its own page, but I do think it merits a small mention on the Eastfield page, thanks Crowsus (talk) 16:09, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

@Crowsus: It appears that you have not enabled the "email this user" function yet. You can do so by clicking on "Preferences" at the top of the page and checking the "Enable email from other users" box. — ξ^xplicit 02:03, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

User talk:Hildestad

Hey, so I left a message last week and didn't receive a response! I was wondering if you could momentarily restore the User talk:Hildestad page for me? It was for a class that I'm in and I was leaving my work there for a friend and I to work on explicitly. I understand if this was violating any rules or anything, we won't continue to use the page, but we are in desperate need of the work that was on the page for the class. It was over several hours of work that we can't afford to lose. If you could please shoot me back a message and momentarily let me just copy everything down into a seperate document it would be very much appreciated! Thank you so much! Fanfiction2010 (talk) 16:20, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

So I see you moved everything to a different page, being User:Fanfiction2010/sandbox. Would you please be able to take the old edits from the User talk:Hildestad page and put them on the new Sandbox page just so I can grab the information? Thank you! Fanfiction2010 (talk) 20:17, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

@Fanfiction2010: The content of the page meet two separate criteria for speedy deletion: WP:CSD#G3, which is the rationale of which it was deleted under previously, and WP:CSD#U5, as the content has absolutely nothing to do with building Wikipedia; Wikipedia is not a webhost. I am willing to email you the content if you'd like. — ξ^xplicit 06:00, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

@Explicit: Oh yes! If you would be able to e-mail me the content, I would be overjoyed! You have no idea how much this means to me! If you would be able to e-mail me at samhildestad@gmail.com that would be perfect! Thank you so much for understanding and being so generous! Fanfiction2010 (talk) 19:58, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

File:Portrait_of_Han_Fei.jpg

Hi there, I noticed you removed the lack of copyright info tag on this image of Han Fei (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Portrait_of_Han_Fei.jpg). I do not often edit image pages, so it's very possible that I've made a mistake, but as far as I can see the only evidence for the copyright status is the assumption of the uploader that the image is old, which does not to me seem like sufficient evidence. The uploader has linked a source which does not have any information of the age, artist or copyright status. The uploader suggests that the image is from the Warring States era, but it does not resemble the art style of that era, nor any era of Chinese history until the 20th century at the earliest. Perhaps I have gone about this wrongly, but I added the tag to allow anyone who had copyright information time to come forward. If there is no such information, then surely it should not be on Wikipedia? I have watched your page and patiently await your reply. Thanks for your time. Retinalsummer (talk) 01:00, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

@Retinalsummer: The file description page contained a license tag - {{PD-art}}. {{di-no license}} indicates that one wasn't presented, which was incorrect. If you are refuting the license claim, you can nominate the image for discussion at the files for discussion venue. — ξ^xplicit 01:08, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

You did a great job on conducting the result of the discussion about the images of Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior. However, Jonny2x4 believes that his voice must be heard. I wonder whether you can undelete the Japanese front covers and then relist the discussion to the newest date. Can you do that? --George Ho (talk) 19:31, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

On second thought, after rereading the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games/Archive 117#Packaging art on Dragon Quest-related articles, I realize that it wouldn't be necessary. --George Ho (talk) 19:34, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

File:Moaz AlShami.jpg

Hi Explicit. Would you mind taking a look at File:Moaz AlShami.jpg. You've already deleted the file once before for lack of permission, and it has been re-uploaded by the same editor. Even if the editor is the person depicted in the photo, I still think that OTRS verification is probably needed since obviously the uploader did not take this photo. It is also being used online on various websites, so it might be a copyvio. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:53, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Regarding the deletion of the image of Jens Peter Christensen.

Greetings Explicit, I realize you probably get a lot of inquiries regarding file deletion from people who haven't read the file criteria, so I'll just make it clear that I'm not trying to be angry or confrontational. You deleted a non-free file that I uploaded saying that it violated criterion 1 for fair use: No free equivalent. Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose. As I explained in the template attached to the image, I have been unable to find a free image and also explained why there aren't any availaible from the body which the person works for. Have you found a free substitute or was there anything lacking in my reasoning? Or is it because of the second part of F7? On my local wiki we only use free images since our country doesn't have a fair use law, so pardon if I'm not understanding everything correctly. Best Regards, InsaneHacker (🗪) 10:27, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

@InsaneHacker: Hi. Although the English Wikipedia allows fair use content to be utilized on the project, the non-free content criteria policy is specifically more rigid than the law in order to reduce such uses. For photographs of living people, non-free images are very rarely permitted under the first point of the aforementioned policy. Because Christensen is a living person, it is entirely plausible for a free photo to be created, even if one currently does not exist. The image you uploaded was deleted under this basis. — ξ^xplicit 23:54, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
