For creating Gaurav Dewasi's page

Dear Explicit ji, I am from Ganesh Pali Rajasthan. We would like to request you if we can create Gaurav Devasi's page. A lot of information about him is available on Google. His Google panel is also available. We need your help so that with your help we can release the page. You are a senior wiki user and you have a lot of experience because we have to make his page perfect so that no one deletes it under L2. 103.162.178.238 (talk) 05:47, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) First off, who is the "we" you're talking about? Is this a group of people you're editing with? Also, why do you want to have an article about Gaurav Dewasi? I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 05:58, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gaurav Dewasi's data was tampered with by some unknown person. Due to which his page was created and then deleted.

Gaurav Dewasi is an actor associated with Rajasthan film industry. He has also worked in Bollywood films. He has been awarded 67 National Awards, National Excellence Award, and Rajasthan Government for his excellent work in Rajasthan films.

Ah, I see you are contacting Explicit because he deleted the article a couple of times, the last time because of an articles for deletion discussion that concluded with a "delete" result. You'll have to prove that Dewasi has now been noted, which is difficult to do with the creation-protection being so high.

Perhaps more importantly, this is an article with a history of attracting undisclosed paid editors. If you are being paid to make this article, please disclose that as soon as you can, or you'll find yourself blocked. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 06:08, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No sir, there is nothing like that. As I had written earlier on the talk page of 103.162.178.238, some unknown person had written an article about me. He had tampered with my data. Action was taken against him and that user was blocked. Who was Hashim crew.

I have not been paid in any way for creating Gaurav Dewasi's page nor will anyone pay because I am a BCA student and his real brother. I am just trying to lock his page once it is created so that no one can delete or tamper with it.My sole purpose was to collect information about Gaurav Devasi from Google and upload it on Wikipedia, I had no other purpose.

We are suffering the consequences of a mistake made by someone else. Please rest assured, we will try to improve Wikipedia to make it more effective.

Please request you to help us and provide us relief. 103.162.178.238 (talk) 06:27, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia doesn't "lock" articles most of the time. It's certainly isn't done so only the person the article is about and their family can edit it. Believe it or not, it might be for the best that your brother doesn't have an article, so no one can mess around with the information like that. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 06:43, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No sir, no such article has been written by him.

We are requesting your help. If you find anything wrong later, you can block us.

There is only one actor's Wikipedia from Rajasthan film industry, is it possible that there is only 1 actor in Rajasthan.

Gaurav Dewasi is also a notable person. With your help, it is completely possible to create his Wikipedia article. A lots of information available on google. 103.162.178.238 (talk) 07:06, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have to be honest. I really doubt an article will be created. It's been created so many times, that's it's been protected from being recreated by inexperienced users. That's pretty bad. I'm certainly not going to be the one writing the article.

But, it's late where I am. I'm going to bed. Perhaps Explicit has something to say, anyways. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 07:14, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you sir.

We hope that you will help us. 103.162.178.238 (talk) 07:18, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sir, I will share information about them with you through email. You should create their page yourself so that we can make Wikipedia better. And a regional cinema actor will also be added to Wikipedia. We are waiting for your positive response 103.162.178.238 (talk) 11:10, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sir

I create draft article for Gaurav Dewasi need to check & improve quality for batter wikipedia.. 103.162.178.238 (talk) 13:32, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect you may be getting fed up with this subject, and the constant harassment. The draft has been deliberately mis-named Draft:Gaurav Devasi, with a V instead of a W, to get around the create protection on drafts with the real name of Gaurav Dewasi, the name used in the infobox and the references.
The article Gaurav Dewasi has been deleted 5 times, including after an AFD, and Draft:Gaurav Dewasi 4 times before it was create protected. Personally, I think that gaming the system like this should be prevented and the draft deleted and salted. Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 10:55, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect the IP is block evasion by User:Amansharma111 who created Draft:Gourav Dewasi, a different misspelling to get around the create protection. - Arjayay (talk) 11:14, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Pls help me to avoid deleting the article

Gaurav Devasi is a regional cinema actor about whom a lot of information is available on Google. He also has a Google panel. His data has been tampered with by some unknown person due to which we are facing difficulty in creating the biography of the correct person.

Instead of targeting him for removal yourself, please help in bringing this artist to Wikipedia.

As it is necessary for all notable persons to be on Wikipedia, this artist is also demanding his rights. 223.189.93.106 (talk) 11:57, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted article

Hi! If you have a second, would you mind showing me the sources and/or article content that was in the Steve Ahlquist article before it was deleted via AfD? Thank you! Bridget (talk) 16:57, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A bowl of strawberries for you! and asking HELP

Please help or advise me.

As far as I know, the topic below is a concern about political views,

link 2024_United_States_presidential_election

and has been expressed by several users for more than 11 months or more. However, the issue has not been resolved yet. Could you please place it in this article? {{political POV}} Or would it be acceptable for me to place it in this article? I am not much experienced with Wikipedia, so I would appreciate your help. Goodtiming8871 (talk) 14:23, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Goodtiming8871: You are free to add the tag to the article if you feel that it is justified. You may want to leave a comment on the talk page for others to understand why you decided to add the tag, as they may not agree. ✗plicit 11:34, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thank you. I inserted the relevant content, but as noted below, another user has already agreed to an exception to neutrality. I wonder if the exception to Wikipedia's neutrality policy applies in this case.

File:WTMD.jpg

Hi Explicit. Do you think the older version of File:WTMD.jpg needs to be deleted per F5? The file was uploaded yesterday, and the newer version seems to be clearly "PD-logo". It probably would've been better for the updater to not have overwritten the file, but it is what it is. If the older version isn't non-free, then the file probably should be split. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:31, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Marchjuly: Hi, none of the revisions contain a complex logo, so they don't need to be deleted as F5. I have restored the initial revision as well. ✗plicit 11:34, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for checking on this. Do you think the file should be split so that there's a separate file for each version or will that be done by whoever moves the file to Commons? -- Marchjuly (talk) 20:01, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Marchjuly: I've split the histories on Commons into File:89.7 WTMD.jpg and File:89.7 WTMD logo.jpg. ✗plicit 00:43, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for doing that. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:45, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Deletion of File:MTG Mox Pearl Proxy.jpg

I understand that you have a job to do and all, but your deletion of File:MTG Mox Pearl Proxy.jpg was so quickly undertaken that I didn’t even have time to review it and possibly contest the CSD tagging. I assume (but obviously cannot verify) that the image was no longer being used by the article on proxy cards as it was originally created for. Had I had the chance to see what was going on, there is an extremely likely chance that I could have made a rational argument as to its continued existence on the service — which I am aware would have required me to argue fair use. However, there was not any time whatsoever to make such a case. I am aware of the WP:Bold policy but this was a little too hasty, IMO. — HiB2Bornot2B ^talk Go Big Blue! 17:53, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was copyrighted artwork by Florian de Gesincourt (despite you marking over the byline) and owned by Wizards of the Coast. In no manner did you "create this work entirely by myself" as you claimed. Not only did it not meet our policy for use of non-free content, it didn't probably didn't even meet the lower bar of fair use in the United States. That it took more than eight years for it to get noticed and deleted was a major failing on our part. —Cryptic 18:09, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Restore Koimoi Page

This is regarding the deletion of the Wikipedia page for Koimoi, Koimoi is a trusted and highly regarded source for entertainment news, movie reviews, and box office updates in India. As a significant player in Bollywood and entertainment journalism, Koimoi has become a go-to resource for millions seeking reliable, up-to-date news on films, celebrities, and industry trends.

Koimoi is widely recognized in India as one of the most trusted sources in its field. Prominent Indian publications frequently reference Koimoi in their coverage of Bollywood and the entertainment industry. Some examples of this include articles by major publishers such as:

Additionally, Koimoi’s movie reviews are acknowledged by some of the most notable production houses, who have even featured Koimoi’s reviews in their promotional materials. Examples of this can be found in social media posts by major studios, including these posts:

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DB1TAJhSVIq/

Warner Bros India Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/warnerbrosindia/p/C5inB5qvkHF/

Given Koimoi’s role and credibility within India’s entertainment landscape, we believe there may be a strong case for its notability on Wikipedia. I would be grateful if you could advise on any specific issues that need addressing to meet Wikipedia’s standards or if there’s potential for reconsidering this decision.

Thank you very much.~~~~ Krnagula (talk) 11:32, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Krnagula: Sorry, but as the page was deleted as a result of a deletion discussion, I cannot unilaterally undelete the page.You are free to create and submit a draft for review at Articles for creation. ✗plicit 00:43, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting Linux certification page is highly questionable for industry important OS, deletion unrelated to promotion, Linux is already well promoted.

Please take a notice that improving articles by adding citations , external sources changes in text and notices is considered positive and constructive , but deleting whole articles with removing their content from Wikipedia, especially frequently visited and industrial important and prominent could be considered destructive and not welcomed. It is always better to improve then to destroy and remove public access to the content. I wanted to get informed on Wikipedia on Linux certificates, because Linux is prominent OS and it's certification is world-recognized, so "promotion" is LESS important in the context of Linux importance and not recognizing the whole important of Linux is basically antisocial and toxic.

Request for Further Discussion on Closed AfD

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)[reply]
