Why was the 1977–1980 Florida orange juice boycott page deleted?
[edit]I understand that it was created by a user who violated rules against having multiple accounts(?), but does that really necessitate the deletion of a well-written, well-sourced page on a clearly Wikipedia-worthy topic that's existed for multiple years? 141.211.175.51 (talk) 15:32, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- Unfortunately yes, those are the rules. Personally I'm not overly keen on that rule either, but without it the people who evade blocks will be encouraged to continue doing so. WaggersTALK 15:36, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- Is there a way I could somehow re-create the page, ideally using what was already written as a starting point, or would that trip anti-spam filters? 141.211.175.51 (talk) 17:19, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- There are a couple of options. If you create an account I can put a copy of it in your userspace for you to work on, but it would probably need someone to review it before it gets moved back to mainspace. Alternatively if you head to Wikipedia:Deletion review and open a discussion there, the community might decide to restore it straight back to where it was. WaggersTALK 14:16, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated. All former administrators may now only regain the tools following a request at the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard within 5 years of their most recent admin action. Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity.
- Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.
Technical news
- Technical volunteers can now register for the 2025 Wikimedia Hackathon, which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. Application for travel and accommodation scholarships is open from November 12 to December 10, 2024.
Arbitration
- The arbitration case Yasuke (formerly titled Backlash to diversity and inclusion) has been closed.
- An arbitration case titled Palestine-Israel articles 5 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.
