Talk:Zak Elbouzedi
The article Zak Elbouzedi was recreated, had its former history undeleted, and I have closed the AfD as "snow keep". The deleted revisions for the talk page should therefore also be undeleted. —GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 02:18, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

File:Sioux Hustler Trail sign.JPG
Would like to see the information on the file, if the deletion was based on sourcing issues we compare the metadata for this image with the other uploads to see if it matches. If they do match, it would be reasonable to say that the photo is the user's own work and can be transferred to Commons. —Jon Kolbert (talk) 15:22, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
- After a conversation with Killiondude and Nick, it was determined that File:Trail sign.JPG was an exact copy of this file available with licensing information on it. It has since been transferred to commons at File:Sioux–Hustler Trail sign.jpg. Jon Kolbert (talk) 20:22, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

- You'd think that valid grounds for undeletion would have to be provided not a list of musicians in a band that lacks notability. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:23, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
- The list adds nothing, but prods can be reversed based on a request. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:43, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
- Requesting a PROD undeletion here is essentially contesting the PROD after the fact. The next step is AfD. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 11:01, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
- And AFD is what is happening now. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:53, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
- So if I simply add the name of an article that has been PRODed to this page it will be deleted? We have to provide a rationale to delete or the AfD is rejected by the closing admin. Why doesn't a rationale have to be provided to restore? This needs to change as it's clearly a waste of the project's time to restore a non-notable subject on a whim. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:41, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
- It's specifically because of how PROD works - anyone can contest a PROD at any time, even post-deletion, for any reason. It's something you should be taking up at Wikipedia talk:Proposed deletion, not here. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 05:40, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Lorenzo Iorio
He has over 3200 citations (non-self citations), as per NASA/ADS database, a h-index of 39 (NASA/ADS source), he was cited several times by the Nobel prize 2006 George F. Smoot who is enlisted in the editorial board of a peer-reviewed journal, Universe, directed by Iorio himself. Also the Nobel Prize Kip Thorne cited a work of him in his latest book, and Sir Roger Penrose is enlisted in the editorial board of the journal directed by him. Wikipedia hosts articles for several other scientists in his field who are at a lower levels. It seems to me that its page was deleted because of sockpuppetry issues, not for truly scientific reasons. In any case, years have passed since then. Thank you for the attention Reagrds. —Redwheel (talk) 17:02, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
Note: The page was deleted as a result of a deletion debate. Admins will not undelete pages that were deleted with discussion here; go to WP:Deletion review or contact the administrator that closed the deletion debate instead. Whether or not it was ages since the last deletion is irrelevant.

Mathletics (educational software)
I just noticed that this was deleted. The deletion rationale was "G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion", which is bizarre because I made an effort to make the content neutral and informative. I would like it to be undeleted so I can have a second copyedit for tone and improve it further. :) —Coin945 (talk) 23:56, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
- @Coin945: Um... there are exactly zero edits from you in the deleted history of that article. Were you thinking of a different one? In any case, I have looked at the deleted version and while I agree it's promotional, it doesn't seem unambiguously promotional. And the creator is a long-term low-volume editor who has edited a variety of subjects and doesn't appear to have a COI, so I couldn't say for certain that the article was created for publicity purposes. It isn't clear-cut to me. But because it was deleted per WP:G11, the person to ask about restoring it (perhaps to draft space) would be the deleting administrator Dlohcierekim (talk · contribs). ~Anachronist (talk) 01:21, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
- Oh... whoops I thought I had contributed to that article. I worked on one of their sister games (IntoScience) and when I noticed Mathletics had been deleted I assumed it was one of mine. Don't worry about undeletion. I can just start from scratch. :)--Coin945 (talk) 01:30, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Rype
The page Rype has been requested for speedy deletion, even though there looks to be sufficient references from credible sources including Forbes, Huffington Post, Inc. Magazine, and more that either mentions or is featuring the brand. The first reason for deletion seems to be because it's not showing importance, but given the media exposure from credible sources in addition to the number of lessons booked on the platform: 150,000, it appears to show credibility. The second reason is because it claims to have unambigious advertising, but there is no direct call to action or references that may appear to be advertising the brand. The language used of the brand is neutral with no direct mentions on why it's better than similar products or even a mention of its main benefits. Therefore, I request that this page be undeleted. —Seankim53 (talk) 23:43, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
Note: This page was deleted under speedy deletion criterion G11, indicating an page that was irredeemably promotional or blatant advertising. Note that G11 deletions are more an issue with the tone of the page as opposed to its sources or formatting. As articles deleted under G11 need to be rewritten from scratch, they will not be undeleted as-is here; try contacting the deleting administrator (Ritchie333 (talk · contribs)). Alternatively, you may request the page be restored as a draft or to have the contents of its last known revision emailed to you provided you have email enabled in your account's preferences. A mere "mention" doesn't make a source useful; the source needs to discuss the subject in some depth. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 01:03, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
- @Jéské Couriano: Actually, WP:A7 was probably the real reason for deletion. I looked at the deleted version, and it definitely isn't written in a promotional manner. It's rather well written, actually. It seems well sourced at first glance, but the sources don't confer notability on the subject. I would support restoring this to draft space for further improvement and AFC review, if that's OK with Ritchie333 (talk · contribs) who deleted it. ~Anachronist (talk) 01:13, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
- Restored to Draft:Rype. This does not meet the criteria for A7 whatsoever, so I can only assume I hit the wrong button. If I get time later today, I’ll copyedit the draft and accept it if I can find enough sources to cement notability. Sorry about that. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 07:30, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Initial deletion argued that she had not done much substantial work herself, but was mostly talked about in relation to her famous husband. The page was marked a deletion and redirect to her husband's, Patton Oswalt. Since then her book, I'll be Gone in the Dark, was published. Thanks for considering. —Mvocab (talk) 19:30, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
Not done – this Requests for Undeletion process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially, and does not apply to articles deleted after a deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted after a discussion took place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michelle McNamara, it cannot be undeleted through this process. However, if you believe that the outcome of the discussion did not reflect the consensus of the participants, or that significant new information has come to light since the article was deleted, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user Coffee (talk · contribs). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:56, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

- File:Sega_Genesis-_Sonic_&_Knuckles_locked_on_to_Sonic3.jpg · ( talk | logs | links | watch ) · [revisions]
This was image was deleted as a derivative work, as it includes video game cartridge artwork. However, the artwork is only a small part of the image; the main purpose of the image is to show how two video game cartridges can be connected. A photo makes this much easier to understand than just explaining via the article prose (Sonic the Hedgehog 3). —Popcornduff (talk) 03:18, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
- Nothing seems to have changed since Wikipedia:Possibly_unfree_files/2014_May_15#File:Sega_Genesis-_Sonic_&_Knuckles_locked_on_to_Sonic3.jpg including your argument. The artwork is nearly half the image. I think there needs to be a new photo without so much artwork involved. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:15, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. Re: "nothing has changed, including your argument" - I wasn't part of the original discussion. I'm only recalling the image from memory years ago - is it possible it could be uploaded somewhere else so I can see it? Popcornduff (talk) 06:33, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
- This discussion shows a majority of users opposed deleting it as well. JOEBRO64 10:42, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
- Well, to be fair, we're all talking about it based on a memory of the image years ago, and we don't seem to have a great knowledge of Wikipedia copyright policy between us. (The editors in the discussion Joe linked, I mean.) From the sounds of it we're better off sourcing or creating a new image with less of the artwork on on display, but it'd be helpful to see the original image so we can see where the limits are. Popcornduff (talk) 11:00, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
- Game art is allowed under fair use, so there must be some way that the image can be stored under a fair use license. Was the original reason it was deleted because the uploader tried to release the photo as public? - X201 (talk) 12:07, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
- It was deleted because people like deleting things, with a single person calling it "derivative work of the game cartridge art" that got it removed. How is it any worse than game articles that have multiple in-game screenshots, on top of the logo? I fully support the undeletion of this photo. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 18:44, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
- We do allow game art under fair use, but only if it meets the non-free content criteria. One of these is that the image must not be replaceable with a free alternative. In the case of game art being used to show the reader what the game art looks like that is not replaceable and it is frequently OK to use it under fair use. This image is being used to demonstrate how two cartridges can be linked together, and you don't need to use the copyrighted portion for that. A picture of two blank cartridges being linked together would serve exactly the same purpose and would be a free image. Hut 8.5 19:09, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
- Alternatively, one could take a picture of them from behind, which would by and large bypass any concerns about the artwork on the front of the cartridge. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 01:04, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
- I think taking the photo from behind might look rather strange. What if we just blurred out the artwork? Would that also be weird? Popcornduff (talk) 02:55, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
- Photoshopping the artwork out would be fine, I'm sure it could be done in a way which looks normal. Hut 8.5 20:15, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

—95.187.159.183 (talk) 10:39, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
Not done – this page was deleted as a blatant advertisement under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion and Wikipedia is not to be used as a vehicle for promotion. This does not necessarily mean a suitable article on this topic cannot be created. If it is a notable topic, e.g., multiple reliable, secondary, published sources that are entirely independent of the subject have written about it in substantive detail (not just mere mentions), then a neutrally written article may be possible.

Massacre of Brzostowica Mała
First, my vote count suggest 'no consensus' rather than preference delete (merge 1, Delete 6, Keep 7). Second, deleting admin (User:Sandstein) noted problems with verifiability, which puzzles me. He notes the lack of English language sources, but so what? WP:NOENG and such - an experienced editor such as him should know well no English language sources are necessary for a topic to be notable (and verifiable). His opinion that " controversial issues in WP:AC/DS topic areas do require good sources in more than one (non-English) language in order to allow as many editors as possible, and not just a few or those possibly associated with one side of a conflict, to assess the content" is totally novel and goes against NOENG spirit. We DO NOT need English language sources to estabilish notability or reliability, scholarship in Foo language is totally fine. Finally, he mentions issues with neutrality and the controversy about perpetrators ethnicity. Neutrality is never a factor in AfD when it comes to deciding whether a topic can be deleted or not, we have {{NPOV}} that suffices for content disputes. Further, as I stated on the talk page of the article where we had a relevant discussion (now deleted...), yes, there are no good sources for this controversial description of the massacre perpetrators ethnicity (regardless of language, when I reviewed this article yesterday or so I couldn't find a single source in any language for that claim, as I noted on the talk). I expected within the few days at most we would remove relevant adjectives from the article as unsourced, and should address neutrality concerns. A lot of people participating in this AfD voted 'delete' because they DONTLIKE said claims about ethnicity of perpetrators - an invalid deletion rationale, and anyway, irrelevant concern since this claim is likely not going to survive in the article because I don't think it is verifiable. But to delete the article about a notable event just because of controversy over a single claim is IMHO quite improper. To summarize: there was no consensus for delete, and I don't see any valid reasons for deletion of this notable topic, controversy over a single fact (nationality of the perps) is not relevant to the notability of the main topic (massacre did happen, nobody disputes that). —Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:34, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
Not done @Piotrus: Since you're a regular, I won't answer with a boilerplate template reply, but I must ask, why are you posting here? Did you not see the blue box at the top? We don't restore AFD-deleted articles by request on this page; this is for restoring non-controversial deletions. You need to contact the deleting admin and state your case to him, and if you are not satisfied with the response, take it to Wikipedia:Deletion review. ~Anachronist (talk) 04:45, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
- @Anachronist: Thanks. I've done so but it seems DR will not result in a restore (Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Massacre_of_Brzostowica_Mała). In that case, in line with Wikipedia:Userfication ("For help getting a copy of a deleted article, to put into your userspace, see Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to provide copies of deleted articles, or post at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion), I'd like to ask for this to be userfied in my userspace, since as at least one other editor suggested in the AfD, parts of this may be eligible for merging to Skidel revolt.

Loch Tay Boat Song
I want to read this article and find more about this song and its origins as an important folk song. If it existed in the past and I want to read it now, then at least two people found it important enough to want to read an entry about it.
Specifically, I am interested in learning about when this song came into existence and what some of the slang means. —Whyhelloclarice (talk) 19:23, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- Won't do you much good. The entire contents of the article are the words to the song, which can be found easily enough by searching for "Loch Tay Boat Song lyrics". If you're curious about the phrase "nighean ruadh", it means "red-haired little girl" according to one source. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 19:39, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Prix Maurice Ballot
Dear Randykitty, In response to your deletion of the new page Prix Maurice Ballot given by the French Astronomical Society, I would like to better understand your position relative to similar long-established content on Wikipedia.
The wiki page for the American Astronomical Society -- which is a peer of the French Astronomical Society-- lists 20 of its awards, virtually all of which have their own dedicated pages on wiki. Many of those are minor awards, for example the Chambliss Amateur Achievement Award (page created 2007), which is given "for an achievement in astronomical research made by an amateur astronomer resident in North America." This is virtually identical to the objective of the Prix Maurice Ballot which is "recognition of authors of works of the Society's observatory" (i.e. amateur or professional).
Similarly, the wiki page for the Astronomical Society of the Pacific -- another peer of the French society -- has a page for their "Amateur Achievement Award of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific" (page created 2006), which is given for "significant contributions to astronomy or amateur astronomy by those not employed in the field of astronomy in a professional capacity." Again, virtually identical to the French society's prize.
The type of organisations, the nature of the three awards, the "noteworthiness", and the level of references provided on all three wiki page are virtually identical, yet the French award was deleted and the others remain. There are many other such wiki pages for awards offered by other astronomical organisations outside of France, which I would be pleased to share with you. Please note that besides the award winners themselves, it is mostly the sponsoring astronomical organisations that document/write about their own awards.
In the above context, I respectfully request you to reconsider the deletion of the Prix Maurice Ballot page. Thanks for your consideration of this request —Akrokerama (talk) 11:38, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- The page is not actually deleted, and you can view the original page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prix_Maurice_Ballot&oldid=832681815 Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:11, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for informing me of this status. The page is in limbo since the editor simply replaced my draft with a redirect code (a de facto deletion without explanation other than un-noteworthiness which I have addressed above). Please guide me as to how I can resolve this issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akrokerama (talk • contribs) 21:14, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- You can undo the change to a redirect. You can discuss this with the person who did it. You could open a discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Awards (since I do not think the talk page of the redirect will get much attention). If you do undo the change, please gather more independent references that show notability. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:36, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
