Request for Further Discussion on Closed AfD
[edit]I noticed that you recently relisted Pranav Adani AfD, and I appreciate your contribution. There was a similar, older page on AfD named Priti Adani that was nominated on the same day by the same user. The discussion had an equal vote of "Delete" and "Keep," Ideally, it should have been relisted today. But an Administrator closed it early, before the usual time. And I think this might have been an error. I was hoping for more discussion on that AfD. Could you advise on how we might reopen or further discuss this matter?Kevarove (talk) 15:31, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Restore Archive
[edit]When you deleted Wikipedia:Redirect/Archive 1 in WP:RFD, you also deleted Wikipedia talk:Redirect/Archive 1, which is an actual archive for the talk page of Wikipedia:Redirect. TeapotsOfDoom (talk) 18:39, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- Update: You don't need to worry about that anymore because @ApexParagon recreated the archive. TeapotsOfDoom (talk) 20:36, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
Right wing populism in Malaysia
[edit]Hello, I was told you wanted to delete the category for right wing populism in Malaysia. Can you let me know why? And if I can add pages to the category to support it?
I created it because Indonesia also had a category for right wing populism, so I thought it would be fair for Malaysia to have the same category as well. Firekong1 (talk) 22:28, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Firekong1: Hi, the category was tagged for deletion in accordance with the speedy deletion criterion regarding empty categories. Once it is populated, you can remove the deletion notice from the category. ✗plicit 23:31, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- Of course. Thank you for letting me know. Firekong1 (talk) 23:38, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Request for undeletion - 2023 Lamar Lady Cardinals softball team and 2024 Lamar Lady Cardinals softball team
[edit]Requesting undeletion of 2023 Lamar Lady Cardinals softball team and 2024 Lamar Lady Cardinals softball team Wikipedia pages. My intent is to merge those pages into the Lamar Lady Cardinals softball page which currently contains several seasonal pages recently merged in addition to other information. I'm using the merged-from / merged-to process found in the Wikipedia page Wikipedia:Merging. Thank you for your help. My understanding is that the last bullet point in the Individual seasons WP:NSEASONS section allows the following "In cases in which the individual season notability is insufficient for an article, multiple seasons may be grouped together in a single article. This grouping might be based on head coaches, conference affiliation, or any other reasonable standard that results in sufficient coverage for the period to warrant an article."LUSportsFan (talk) 23:41, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- @LUSportsFan: Done – as a contested soft deletion, the article has been restored upon request. ✗plicit 02:34, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Deleted article
[edit]Hi, excuse me can i understand why Battle of Sebiba (1065) page was deleted ?? Winipitia (talk) 01:21, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Winipitia: Hi, Battle of Sebiba was deleted as a result of the deletion discussion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Battle of Sebiba (2nd nomination). Editors argued that there was no improvement made since the previous deletion discussion, and the problems are list there. ✗plicit 02:34, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
Please, the above category ain't empty, containing 1 article as of 02:02, 16 November 2024 (UTC). It isn't the most populous of categories, but should be left to stay and not deleted, in the light that future people from or associated with this district in Porto, Portugal might have their articles published on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elías Fortaleza de la Fuerza Sánchez (talk • contribs) 02:02, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Elías Fortaleza de la Fuerza Sánchez: It was empty when I tagged it. The deletion tag can be removed once it is populated. ✗plicit 02:04, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Categories of the Rutul people
[edit]Hello! Please explain to me why categories: Category:Guernsey_men, Category:West German men, Category:Italian men, Category:Gibraltarian men (etc.) are allowed, but category Category:Rutulian men, Category:Rutulian martial artists is not allowed? DigitalSpace (talk) 15:06, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- @DigitalSpace: Hi, the categories were tagged for deletion simply for being empty. Whatever page(s) populated these categories have seemingly been deleted. ✗plicit 00:25, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
Hey there again. Is this file the same one as the other one deleted per FFD? George Ho (talk) 17:24, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- @George Ho: Hi, it's similar enough to the previous screenshot to qualify for WP:CSD#G4, so I've deleted it as such. ✗plicit 00:25, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
Page Deletion
[edit]Hello, I noticed that a page about Bobo Ajudua was deleted by you. I was unaware of the deletion, so I went ahead and created a new page about him and his controversial issue with Afrobeats singer Davido. Beeleafinme (talk) 21:19, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
User:Doomguy427
[edit]Hi Explicit. Doomguy427 is a relatively new account that looks to be editing in good-faith; the problem is that they keep uploading images without any source information or any license. They haven't responded to any of the notifications about this on their user talk page and they don't seem to be slowing down. They're almost certainly getting the files from somewhere online and File:Picture of Captain Roohullah Mohmand.jpeg was cleaned up by another user. Any suggestions on how to proceed here? Would you mind posting something about this on their user talk? -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:38, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Marchjuly: Hi, I have left the user a warning. ✗plicit 00:25, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Old AFD question
[edit]Hello, you closed this AFD, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Governing Body Commission, as a delete in 2022 and deleted the article Pragosh Das as a part of that. I have found the duplicate article Pragosha Dasa still exists, as near as I can tell because Pragosh Das was moved there in 2009 but then someone turned that redirect back into an article. I was wondering if you wanted to delete Pragosha Dasa as a duplicate whose deletion was called for by the AFD, or if I should nominated it for a new AFD now. Obviously this was some time ago so I understand if you have no idea at this point. Here2rewrite (talk) 02:48, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Here2rewrite: Hi, the history is a bit jumbled up, but the page actually survived AFD in 2008. Basically, Pragosha Dasa was renamed from Pragosh Das in May 2009. Someone redirected it to Governing Body Commission in October 2009 in spite of the AFD, and a bot fixed the double redirect, so Pragosh Das also pointed to Governing Body Commission. Pragosha Dasa was written as an article in 2015, but Pragosh Das was never fixed to point back to it, so WP:XFDcloser deleted it along with Governing Body Commission. Pragosha Dasa would need to go through AFD again if someone is seeking to delete it. ✗plicit 05:08, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for untangling that, that was a very clear explanation. I will look into what to do with the article from here. Here2rewrite (talk) 15:08, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
File:Greenwich SM City Masinag (2024-11-16).jpg
[edit]Hi Explicit. Could you take a look at File:Greenwich SM City Masinag (2024-11-16).jpg? It seems to have multiple problems, WP:F5, WP:F7 and maybe even WP:F9 or WP:F11. I'm not sure what tag to place on it. There could also be problems per c:COM:FOP Philippines. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:36, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
File:Starship Moments After Liftoff.jpeg
[edit]Hi Explicit. Would you mind taking a look at File:Starship Moments After Liftoff.jpeg? All of this user's uploads so far have been screenshots from YouTube videos released under YT's standard licensing; so, I've tagged them for speedy deletion per F9. This particular file is also a screenshot but it's via this website, and unlike the others i'm wondering whether it might be possible to convert to a non-free license given the way it's being used in Starship flight test 6. I'm a bit hesitant though because Starship flight test 5 seems to indicate that a free image of these SpaceX launches might be possible. SpaceX, itself, could even provide some acceptably licensed images if it wants. Is it then in your opinion even worth converting this to non-free per WP:FREER? -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:22, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Marchjuly: Hi, I've deleted all the video screenshots as copyright violations. Aside from the most recent flight test, Starship flight test 4 is the only other in the series that does not contain freely licensed media. It's unlikely that an image for either article would qualify by Wikipedia's fair use standards, unless a particular image itself (and not the flight test in general) is subject to sourced critical commentary in accordance with WP:NFC#CS or considered significant enough for {{Non-free historic image}}. As flight test 6 is incredibly fresh, free media may became available in the coming days or weeks. ✗plicit 06:51, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for checking on these. Do you suggest tagging the remaining file for speedy deletion per F9 or just letting it be deleted for not having a copyright license per F4? -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:15, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Marchjuly: My rule of thumb is to just let these types of files meet their fate. Regardless of the process, the end result is usually the same. ✗plicit 13:03, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Why was this deleted?
[edit]Hello, I have noticed and a fair few others that I’ve spoken to in person that you deleted the page of “Aleksei Kulashko”? I was confused why as even to this day he has participating in events and even been invited to light the chess olympics torch in New Zealand. So my request is for this page to be undeleted as it’s still significant to this day and there has not been any issue with it up until now. 27.252.156.6 (talk) 07:03, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
