Salic Law - request to undelete this page

Regarding this page: Salic Law

You deleted this on 18 February 2020 on these grounds: Expired PROD, concern was: No evidence of notability and has been unreferenced since 2009.

I can appreciate the reasons for you making this decision at that time. Unfortunately there are not many contributors about solitaire games who are active editors; I'm working hard to correct that. So in this instance the issue isn't that this solitaire game isn't notable, the issue is rather that people in a position to verify notability aren't active on Wikipedia.

I can confirm that Salic Law is included in David Parlett's important book Penguin Book of Card Games on page 431. I have the book (and others like it) and am happy to include a reference to this when the Salic Law page can be restored.

I'm currently working on adding references to other solitaire games as well, and it would be good if this one could be restored, since it is covered in this and other works. Gregorytopov (talk) 10:40, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

@Gregorytopov: Done – as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored upon request. ƏXPLICIT 23:35, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Much appreciated, thank you! I've done a revision of the page, and included reference to the source. Thanks again for the speedy response! Gregorytopov (talk) 00:45, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Request for Undeletion of the Page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crescendo_(Visual_Novel)

Hello,

Thanks for your review of the Wiki Page for Crescendo- Visual Novel. I noted that you mentioned in your comment for deletion as: "concern was: Article has had zero references, with ongoing notability concerns, since 2010. Google brings up nothing to suggest that this passes WP:GNG"

I looked at the web archive of this page, and agree with your concerns. I would like to place a request for an un-deletion. However, before posting a request, I wanted to state a few points for consideration:

1. Visual Novels are a niche genre, and hence while there is a lack of coverage of Visual Novels, Crescendo is a fairly well know and high rated among the Visual Novel Gamers. Here are a few places where it is covered:

https://vndb.org/v29 https://www.gamespot.com/games/crescendo/ https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/917763-crescendo https://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/crescendo

2. With regards to the references for the game and its release, here is a reference from the game manufacturer and English localizer and distributor

http://www.do-game.co.jp/r18/products/216/ https://jastusa.com/crescendo

3. With regards to other references (e.g. Release Dates, Voice Cast, Writer, Designer etc.); they can be added where needed.

4. Other games by the developer or localization company can be readily viewed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAST_USA

Would request you to consider the request. I am happy to improve the restored article with references and notability so that it meets the Wiki Standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sidvanhalen (talk • contribs) 05:13, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Evan_Eckenrode - Deletion

Hello, I would like to request the reactivation of the Evan_Eckenrode Wikipedia article. There are a few main reasons for this. Evan is the only internet influencer with dwarfism and can provide immense information in regard to his situation. He has 130k follows on twitter, arguably one of the most followed persons with dwarfism. In the article entitled List_of_people_with_dwarfism he is listed amongst his peers (many who have less notoriety than himself) and there pages have not been deleted. The fact that he is in the category of persons that he is, its a very peculiar situation that has put him in the position he is.

File:Atk mohun began.jpg

Hi Explicit. Would you mind taking a look at this file since you're also a Commons admin? Same file that was deleted per Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2020 September 30#File:ATK Mohun Bagan FC logo.svg and I can't see any justification for it being not non-free. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:04, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I have deleted it from Commons. ƏXPLICIT 11:39, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Request for attention

I recently found two IP addresses which are used by a same person. 116.93.120.231 and 116.93.120.17. I also found that these IP addresses have made distruptive edits on Kim Soo-hyun's page : [1], [2]. I also suspect 123.215.16.234 to be used by the same user as their edits are very much similar. And moreover I find their link with an user Myhometownkorea, whose article I nominated today for deletion. As I found there have been investigations on that user related to sockpuppetry; I thought to inform you about this. -ink&fables «talk» 19:11, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

@-ink&fables: Yup, I had suspected that first IP was the sockpuppet three weeks ago when I blocked it. I've semi-protected Kim Soo-hyun as that is the only article that merits it right now. If you come across any similar behavior in the future, please let me know. ƏXPLICIT 00:25, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

@Explicit: I will surely keep that in my mind. Thank you for your fast response. -ink&fables «talk» 03:27, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

File:Newcastle United 125 Years logo.png

Can I ask why it was deleted? Govvy (talk) 10:41, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

And don't say WP:NFCCP because it was not in violation of that in my opinion. Govvy (talk) 10:43, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

@Govvy: Well, WP:NFC#CS only allows the use of one non-free item in an article, which is generally placed in the infobox. This particular file was the second non-free item used in the body of the article. Looks like a clear violation to me. I could also get into how it fails to meet WP:FREER because of how incredibly similar it is to the infobox logo, where the text adequately conveys the information, but my first point should suffice. ƏXPLICIT 12:06, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

I really do query that because clearly written in the article is; On 15 May 2017, the home shirt for the 2017–18 season was revealed, featuring the logo of new sponsors Fun88. The shirt was shown to include a gold and silver commemorative crest to mark the club's 125th football season, based on the city's coat of arms. It was also announced that the kit would feature red numbers for the first time since the 1992–93 season.(cite:77) Then the logo is there to show the differences they did for the 125th year. I've seen a lot of football logo deletions and at times, I really don't think people are analysing the articles and how they are used. I question the method in which these get deleted and if I see what I believe might be wrong I will point that out. I am just trying to established, when, how and why. I don't see any real issue why it should be deleted other than wikipedia's own policies! And it's not like the club has sent Wikipedia a cease and desist letter! Govvy (talk) 12:44, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) I think when you say I don't see any real issue why it should be deleted other than wikipedia's own policies!, you pretty much are answering your own question. Pretty much the only reason anything ever ends up being deleted on Wikipedia is because it's deemed to violate some Wikipedia policy or guideline. Unsourced content or otherwise inappropriate content often ends up removed (i.e. deleted) from articles because it violates some Wikipedia policy or guideline. Articles and other pages often end up deleted because they violate some Wikipedia policy or guideline. Even editors can end up "deleted" (figuratively speaking) when they violate some Wikipedia policy and guideline. The same goes for images and files. Commons doesn't accept an non-free content per c:COM:FAIR even though it probably could because it's not deemed compatible with Commons policies and guidelines. Wikipedia does accept non-free content when it's deemed not to violate Wikipedia's non-free content use policy.

Just by going on based upon what you've posted above and looking at the logo in the source you've mentioned above, I'm not so sure the reader would necessarily need to see both logos to understand the differences between the two. Is showing the anniversary logo a clear copyright violation that would cerainly lead to a DMCA takedown notice from the team? Probably not since it would likely be considered a case of acceptable fair use. Would showing both be considered a violation of WP:NFCCP? Probably yes because of not only FREER and WP:NFCC#8, but also WP:NFCC#3a. Wikipedia's non-free content use policy was purposely set up to be more restrictive than fair use per WP:NFC#Background and its this policy that matter when it comes to Wikipedia.

Somebody tagged the file for speedy deletion (probably with {{Di-disputed fair use rationale}}) , but I can't see who. The uploader of the file was notified here, but that notification was added by a bot. It doesn't look like a {{deletable image-caption}} was added to the file when it was tagged for deletion. Such a thing isn't necessarily required, but it often helps let editors other than the uploader know when a non-free file has been tagged for deletion so that someone who wants to challenge the deletion can. If I were to have seen this being discussed at WP:FFD I would've !voted "delete" based upon what I've posted above and that's what I think the consensus would've ultimately ended up as, but that's just my opinion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 14:11, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Request for Undeletion of the Page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SamuTale

Hello,

A while ago you didn't approve the entry of Video Game "SamuTale" on Wikipedia. The reason was: "Non-notable video game sourced by blogs." I can agree it was not that notable at the time, but things have changed a lot and the game has been covered by a huge variety of game portals and I would like to place a request for an un-deletion.

For your consideration I would like to list some of our latest references: https://worthplaying.com/article/2020/4/13/news/118980/ https://www.gamespace.com/all-articles/news/samutale-introduces-a-limited-time-free-trial/ https://massivelyop.com/2020/09/20/mmos-youve-never-heard-of-litebringer-samutale-icarusm-stellar-warfare-primordials-of-amyrion-a3-raid-shadow-legends-second-extinction/ https://mmoscoop.com/samurai-inspired-survival-mmo-samutale/ https://www.techgamingreport.com/survival-mmo-samu-tale-is-free-to-play-until-october-15th/ https://mmo.it/index.php/2020/09/20/samutale-lmmo-sandbox-survival-e-free-to-play-fino-al-15-ottobre/ https://game-guide.fr/274567-samutale-laventure-du-soleil-levant/

I hope you will consider the un-deletion of the SamuTale Wikipedia page and I would be happy to improve the restored article with updated information and references so that it meets the Wiki Standards.
