restoring a Bitsquare (software) article in Wikipedia

Hello Sarahj2107,

I'm fairly new to editing Wikipedia, having contributed a few sentences with independent documentation here and there. I'd like to try restoring the deleted Bitsquare page, as Bitsquare has been downloaded some 44,000 times and there's a growing community of users worldwide[1][2].

I noticed that you deleted the page after it was flagged for not meeting Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines (GNG) and for being Too Soon. I believe that there is adequate independent third-party coverage by at least four different sources, fulfilling the GNG: Bitcoin Magazine, Cryptocompare, CoinDesk, and news.bitcoin.com. Regarding the previous article having been "Too Soon", currently Bitsquare is listed as an international exchange on bitcoin.org and Andreas Antonopoulos, one of bitcoin's most prominent explainers, cited Bitsquare on Twitter as his proof that decentralized bitcoin exchanges exist.

I'm creating User:Jwiki11235/BitSquare as a place to draft the updated Bitsquare page.

Please let me know if there's anything I've missed, or if you think the sources I've presented don't adequately address the reasons why the Bitsquare page was deleted.

Thanks,

Hi Jwiki11235. I have had a look at your draft and I don't think the sources are going to be enough to satisfy the notability guidelines. #1 is the official site so not independent. #2 is just a list of exchanges and doesn't have significant coverage. #3 goes into a bit more detail which is good, but in the deletion discussion concerns were raised about sources that feed off press releases and this one reads a bit like that to me. #4 I can't access this one. #5 This seems like a primary source to me, I don't thinks it's suitable for proving notability. #6 Has a brief mention but doesn't go into enough detail. Mentions on twitter don't count towards notability no matter who it is from. I'm not sure about being listed as an international exchange.
Overall I still don't think there is enough significant coverage in independent, reliable sources to prove notability. I wouldn't feel comfortable giving the okay to move your draft to main space, and I couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't get deleted again. It might still be too soon for an article on this but you could try submitting it via WP:Articles for creation to see what other editors think. Sarahj2107 (talk) 08:49, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you delete the List of multiplatform video games not available on PC article?

Why did you delete that article?, i was using it and it was extremely helpful and had lots of valuable information that is now lost/inaccessible thanks to the deletion. Could you restore it or maybe give me a copyt so i could at least view it?. There's not a single article on the web with the same info of that one and i'd lose literally days of browsing through much longer and varied articles to obtain the same information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NickTheConqueror (talk • contribs) 06:32, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi NickTheConqueror. The page was deleted following a discussion here, where I judged the consensus to be to delete. It can't be restored but I will email you a copy of the list. Sarahj2107 (talk) 14:55, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Khristian Mizzi deletion

Hi there, would you consider adding this page again. He has recently been presented with two notable awards - The Troubadour Foundation Award 2017 and The Alex Legg Memorial Foundation award 2017 - [1]Ofonekind (talk) 09:54, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ofonekind. I'm not familiar with those awards, neither has a Wikipedia article and I don't know if they would count towards notabiliy guidelines for muscicians. I've done a quick search and I'm not seeing significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. I'm sorry but I don't feel comfortable restoring it at this time.

Bijay Ketan Swain

You have rejected a CSD with "Declined Speedy Deletion - credible claim of significance is made".

Excuse me, but this thing is a blatant autobiographical hoax written by User:Bijay Ketan Swain himself. Please THINK deletion requests through before rejecting any more. Thank you. Jack | talk page 17:16, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

BlackJack I reviewed article and declined the speedy deletion in an offical admin capacity. Please do not revert that. If anybody disagrees with a speedy deletion, as I do, then it no longer uncontroversial and needs to go to AfD. Sarahj2107 (talk) 17:20, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And, by the way, this was previously tagged as A7. Being a politician is a credible claim of significance so it's clearly not eligible for A7. Sarahj2107 (talk) 17:23, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Why not accept that you are wrong on this occasion. The so-called "administrators" on this site are not infallible, you know. The "editor" has been given a warning, has been reported to ARV. There are now three editors who want this thing deleted via CSD. It is a b;latant hoax as anyone can see written by the article creator himself. Jack | talk page 17:24, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A Blatant hoax autobiography of user

The Bijay Ketan Swain has been proved a hoax page why then do you refuse it's speedy delete? Do I sense something here? I could always request several other admin's to look into this situation. You better be sure of your actions. Celestina007 (talk) 17:25, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I've restored the CSD and given it a G3 because it is a blatant hoax. Jack | talk page 17:27, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Celestina007, BlackJack - if either of you are going to accuse me of something then you better be VERY sure of it and have plenty of diffs to back that up. When you do, take it ANI. Otherwise it is bordering on a personal attack and clearly assuming bad faith. Sarahj2107 (talk) 17:30, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
See the AfD and calm down. No one is going to ANI over a silly issue like this which will, as you say yourself, be sorted in seven days instead of one. And I agree with you that Celestina should not be using ALLCAPS but she is still a relative WP:NEWBIE. Thanks. Jack | talk page 18:45, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please Recover The Black Metaphor Page

There's a big feud going on in hip hop between Rick Ross and Bird Man. Rick Ross made a diss track named "Idols become Rivals". Here's the official wiki link for the Rick Ross album: [1] Track Number 3, "Idols become rivals' credits production to Black Metaphor.

Here are a few other RECENT links that verify Black Metaphor's notability from independent sources: 1.http://djbooth.net/news/entry/2017-03-16-rick-ross-rather-you-than-me-album-producers 2.notable mention of his production on national radio. Here's the write up: http://power1051.iheart.com/onair/the-breakfast-club-40716/rick-ross-disses-nicki-minaj-birdman-15656782/ 3.http://2dopeboyz.com/2017/03/16/rick-ross-birdman-diss-idols-become-rivals/

According to WP:MUSIC Musicians or ensembles (music producers) may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria: Black Metaphor meets 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, & 11 .

Also, [WP:MUSIC] states that BMI and All Music are reputable sources to verify. BMI link: Black Metaphor BMI All music link: [2]

I ask that you please undelete the Black Metaphor article.

(Here's a link with Black Metaphor listed as a JUDGE for an upcoming event and also lists his credits: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/soundclash-producerartist-showcase-networking-event-prized-by-istandard-tickets-32844349333)Peacemvmt1 (talk) 07:48, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Peacemvmt1: We have discussed this at length previously [3] and there was a DRV (Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2016 November 12) which closed as endorse. I don't have time to look into this and check your claims that he now meets 7 points in WP:NMUSIC, however I have my doubt about that and at a quick glance I don't see that anything has changed in the last 3 to 4 months, so I won't be restoring it. You are free to take it back to WP:DRV. Sarahj2107 (talk) 08:09, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2017).

Administrator changes

removed Xnuala • CJ • Oldelpaso • Berean Hunter • Jimbo Wales • Andrew c • Karanacs • Modemac • Scott

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a discussion on the backlog of unpatrolled files, consensus was found to create a new user right for autopatrolling file uploads. Implementation progress can be tracked on Phabricator.
  • The BLPPROD grandfather clause, which stated that unreferenced biographies of living persons were only eligible for proposed deletion if they were created after March 18, 2010, has been removed following an RfC.
  • An RfC has closed with consensus to allow proposed deletion of files. The implementation process is ongoing.
  • After an unsuccessful proposal to automatically grant IP block exemption, consensus was found to relax the criteria for granting the user right from needing it to wanting it.

Technical news

  • After a recent RfC, moved pages will soon be featured in a queue similar to Special:NewPagesFeed and require patrolling. Moves by administrators, page movers, and autopatrolled editors will be automatically marked as patrolled.
  • Cookie blocks have been deployed. This extends the current autoblock system by setting a cookie for each block, which will then autoblock the user if they switch accounts, even under a new IP.

Lance Strate restoration?

Hi Sarah - I'm thinking of trying to restore the article Lance Strate, which I see was deleted after due discussion on 29 November 2015. Since then, Lance Strate has been quoted in the NY Times, and appeared on NPR, and German and Japanese television, etc (as an expert about social media), and has written or edited some half a dozen new books. What would be the best way of enabling a restoration? (I had nothing to do with the creation of the original Lance Strate article. I am a professor at Fordham University, as is Lance Strate, but I have nothing to personally or professionally to gain by the article's restoration.) Thanks, PaulLev (talk) 20:01, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
