AfD question

Question, An article has been removed twice now and I see it has been added for a 3rd time. At what point do articles get removed permanently? Or can it be introduced over and over and over? Thanks in advance. JackassCKA 22:46, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey JackassCKA, welcome to Wikipedia! Regarding your AfD question, I'm not too sure what you mean. Looking over your contributions, perhaps you are referring to the the AfD discussion for Canadaka.net. To merit inclusion in Wikipedia, a website must be considered sufficiently notable. For an idea of how notability would be defined in this context, you may find it useful to read the guidelines at WP:WEB. Any article on a website which is not deemed sufficiently notable to merit an encyclopedia may be deleted, in accordance with our deletion policy. There is no firm rule regarding the recreating of an article with the same name as one which has previously been deleted, but note that the "recreation of deleted material" (defined as "a substantially identical copy, by any title, of a page that was deleted according to the deletion policy") is a criteria for speedy deletion. To request the undeleting of an article, you would need to list at Wikipedia:Deletion review (but make sure you read Wikipedia:Undeletion policy first).

Basically, then, to answer your question, once an article has been deleted it should not be recreated. There's nothing which would physically prevent a user from recreating the page, but it's liable to be deleted by an admin, without further discussion (and if this kept happenning, the page would end up protected to prevent future recreation). If you feel a page has been deleted against our deletion policy, then it should be listed for deletion review.

If you were referring to Canadaka.net, I'd advise that it's currently not sufficiently notable to be deemed encyclopedic. Of course, if the site gains in popularity, or gains press coverage, it would then be deemed noteworthy, and the article could be recreated with revised content which could enable notability to be established.

Hope this helps, feel free to leave me a message if you have any other queries. _└^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 23:28, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

After re-reading my question, I don't think it came out right. Yes i was referring to the canadaka.net AfD but after watching it get deleted twice, I noticed someone added it a third time. It has subsequently been deleted a 3rd time now. My question is, is there a limit how many times an article can be introduced? or can someone just continually re-enter the page/site/article and hope for inclusion? Or does the site/page/article eventually get banned? JackassCKA 01:59, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As I said above, there's nothing in place which would physically prevent a user from recreating the article, but this should not happen, and if it does the article is likely to be "Speedily Deleted" by an admin (without the need for AfD discussion) as "recreation of deleted material". The thing to do is to request deletion review, not recreate content.

If a user did persistently recreate deleted content, it's likely that article name would be "protected" to prevent future editing (ie the article would be created with the sole content as template {{deletedpage}}, and then protected to prevent changes). Depending on how maliciously an editor continued to add deleted content, despite warnings not to do so, it's possible they could be blocked from editing too. Hope this helps. _└^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 08:57, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PS, I noticed in the deletion log that Canadaka.net has only been deleted twice:

22:48, 7 March 2006 InShaneee deleted "Canadaka.net" (recreation)
06:52, 7 March 2006 Aaron Brenneman deleted "Canadaka.net" (per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Canadaka.net)

IE, it was originally deleted in accordance with the AfD discussion, subsequently recreated and speedily deleted without further discussion, as I said above. _└^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 09:02, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
