Deleted Page - Samantha Cook

Good morning, a page was deleted "Samantha Cook". I was hoping you could restore it as a draft so I can update with credible sources and fix incorrect information. Is this possible? Thank you so much in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NotTinaFey (talk • contribs) 18:21, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2012–13 Scottish Junior Football Central Division Two

Hi, could you please explain why the 2012–13 Scottish Junior Football Central Division Two article proposed for deletion was declined? It is an orphaned, incomplete, non-notable, unsourced article from 8 years ago. You said it was "ineligible again" - what makes it ineligible? Thanks Boothy m (talk) 12:11, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher)Hi Boothy m. An article can only be prodded for deletion once; so, if it’s deprodded for any reason at all, then it cannot be prodded again. In such cases, anyone still who feels that the article should be deleted needs to take it to WP:AFD instead. —- Marchjuly (talk) 13:20, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh right, didn't realise that - thanks for letting me know Boothy m (talk) 13:25, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Meridith Valiando Rojas

Hi there! Please tell me how I can fix this article so it can be resubmitted? If you can please point me in the right direction that would be so greatly appreciated. The subject of the article is indeed notable with an article being released on Forbes.com as recently as April 24th 2020 (https://www.forbes.com/sites/andreazarczynski/2020/04/24/columbia-records-jam-jr-promotes-youth-music-education-experiences/#15e651a03683).

Again any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much!

File:The Greatest Showman (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack).png

Hey again. I would like you to undelete the PNG version of the cover art of The Greatest Showman (soundtrack), so I will take both the PNG and JPEG versions to FFD. I requested the undeletion without luck, even after clarifying my reasons at WP:REFUND. --George Ho (talk) 10:45, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PROD file deletions

Please restore all the files you prod deleted on 4 May between 23:58 and 23:59 per WP:REFUND. I am challenging all 1000-odd files that were prodded with this rationale, but sadly I'm not deprodding them faster than they're getting deleted. SpinningSpark 23:02, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Spinningspark: I will restore the files shortly. As an administrator, you are also free to restore the files if you contest their original deletions, I hope you're aware. Are you also challenging the file's up for deletion today? Ə XPLICIT 23:40, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If they all have the same rationale (unused, low-res, no obvious use), then yes I will challenge them. SpinningSpark 23:47, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Spinningspark:

Done, I have restored 23 files from the allotted date. Ə XPLICIT 23:54, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Undeletion request for File:Alanna Kennedy playing again Japan WNT in 2012.jpg

Hi, this is about an old deletion, but I was hoping you could restore File:Alanna Kennedy playing again Japan WNT in 2012.jpg. My guess is that it was a part of a batch of uploads that includes these photos of Australian soccer players in 2012. If it was uploaded by User:Thewomensgame (a.k.a. Ann Odong) and originated from thewomensgame.com, the source and license information were likely correct. Please let me know if I can provide any more information. Thanks. Ytoyoda (talk) 15:39, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ytoyoda: Yup, the information you provided matches the file information, so I have restored it. Ə XPLICIT 02:20, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:President John F. Kennedy at Rivier University, Nashua, 1960.jpg

Hi Explicit. I tagged this with rfu per F7, but the same file was then uploaded to Commons and is currently being discussed at c:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Pres. Kennedy at Rivier in 1960.jpg. If kept, then perhaps this non-free one could be restored, though I'm not sure about the real provenance of the file. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:21, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Undeletion request for File:2018 AMC (logo).png

Hi, the File:2018 AMC (logo).png page was removed because the page African Minifootball Cup was moved to a draft page. Now this page is restaured after my request of recreation. Hope to see this file page. Best regards. --Fayçal.09 (talk) 11:49, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Undeletion request for "Transguinean Railways"

Since you deleted this article in early 2019, events reported in Nov 2019 indicated that this project has made some significant progress. This was reported in reputable magazines including "International Rail Journal" and "Global Construction Review". This is a multi-billion project.

Please advise. Wimbledon32 (talk) 08:25, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Wimbledon32:

Done – as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored upon request. I have also moved the sandbox page you created into your userspace here: User:Wimbledon32/Sandbox Transguinean Railways. Ə XPLICIT 00:30, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:Hanan Tarik.jpg

Hello Explicit, a user (bot) has uploaded the newer version of a file, which the user posted: "The previous version of this file is not non-free, then it would no longer used in Wikipedia. Therefore the previous file would deleted on May 28. The current version will not be deleted." Why the current version of the file sustain from Wikipedia? The Supermind (talk) 11:25, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@The Supermind: Hi, the file went through two separate processes at the same time. Regarding the message you noted, this was a result of a bot tagging your original file for a size reduction request in accordance to WP:IMAGERES. The second bot uploaded a smaller version and tagged it with {{Orphaned non-free revisions}}, which is the message you saw. However, before these two bots edited the page, another editor tagged the image for deletion for failing to comply with the non-free content criteria policy, specifically the no free equivalent criterion. Generally, Wikipedia does not accept fair use images of living individuals, even if one does not currently exist. This is because a freely licensed alternative can be created, and uploads like these are usually deleted two days after being tagged. Ə XPLICIT 12:23, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Tyson page you deleted

Hi Explicit,

I am trying to find out why the page I made 2 years ago about my father Christopher Tyson was taken off of Wikipedia. Is there a way to recover the page?

Thank you!
