Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2017 June 20#File:RIT Hockey.svg

Hi Jo-Jo Eumerus. Could you clarify the "no consensus" part of your close to Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2017 June 20#File:RIT Hockey.svg? There are quite a number of editors (as can be seen at WT:NFCC#Discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2017 June 23) who feel that a "no consensus" when it comes to non-free use does not default to "keep", but to "remove" or "delete". I also think that this is the case per WP:NFCCE because if a there is no clear consensus that a non-free use rationale is valid, then that means that the provider of the rationale failed to meet WP:NFCC#10c which in turn means the file's use non-free use fails WP:NFCCP. Individual seasons are perennial events in that they occur yearly and a team logo is the equivalent of a sponsor's logo when it is used in such a way. If the logo was used for the first time in that particular season, then perhaps it's non-free use could be justified; the source provided for the logo, however, is for the following season so it's not clear if it was used for the first time in 2009-2010. I am concerned that your close (without any clarification) might be interpreted as meaning that it's OK to use this logo in any individual season articles which may eventually be created. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:10, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Greetings, Marchjuly. LtPowers's argument was uncontested and would potentially put the file outside of the scope of WP:NFC#UUI §17, which deals with various flavours of "child entities". As you say it does not appear to be very clear what the logo is supposed to represent (and thus how NFC#UUI would apply to it); in such a case I would treat it as "no consensus". That particular DELREV isn't closed yet so I am wary of using it as a precedent just yet. I think the issue with such FFD discussions is that they generally don't get enough participation to cleanly sort out problems even when relisted. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 16:09, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for the reply. At issue was not only No. 17, but No. 14 of WP:NFC#UUI: that's the part about the perennial event logo use. Logos from (major) professional and college teams are almost never allowed to be used like this. I say "almost" because I've never seen a case where they were, but there may be an exception somewhere. In these articles, a PD logo or a wordmark is almost always used instead, unless their is a specific non-free season logo for the event. I did not contest LtPowers argument because I would've been basically repeating everything I said in my nomination; the word "season" in and of itself implies a particular period of time and the article's title and content specify that that time period is 2009-10. This is not a list article about all of the seasons of the team, but an article about one particular season.
The rationale for not allowing non-free use in "individual seasons" does not just apply to sports, but to TV programs, etc. For example, the consensus has been that the NFCCP does not permit reusing the same logo for a particular show in each of the individual season articles for said show. An individual season-specific logo or cover art is used if they exist, but the default is not to use the main show's logo if they don't. Moreover, Lt.Powers made no attempt to address the No. 17 part of the nomination with respect to the season article, even though one other editor suggested that the file be removed from it as well.
I understand your position about continuously relisting things over and over again, but FFDs can be closed after seven days and non-free files removed/deleted "if either a consensus to do so has been reached or no objections to deletion or removal have been raised". The first relisting was 16 days after the discussion was started. The relisting generated two additional comments, so I agree that relisting again probably would not have meant a ton of new comments. If the uploader feels that the use is justified, then they should've attempted to make their reasons clearer by improving the particular rationale since it is their responsibility to do so. Instead, they seemingly just copied and pasted the template for one use, and then changed the article parameter without addressing the differences between the different uses and the different articles. While this copy-and-paste post may be frequently used, it is a WP:JUSTONE argument in that it assumes that WP:NFCC#10c is the only criteria that needs to be met.
Anyway, I'm not looking to re-debate all of this here on your user talk page. Does your "non-consensus" mean that the file's use in the season article cannot be re-discussed at FFD? Would it be acceptable for me to re-nominate the file for discussion for just that particular use or do I have to go though WP:DRV instead? -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:54, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
Responding tomorrow as I am on the point of falling asleep. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 23:12, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
OK, here I am. §14 deals with "perennial event" and "sponsoring company" and LtPowers' denial raises questions about whether it'd apply in the first place to this file. I just don't see a clear cut case either for or against the use of the file in that specific article, mainly due to there not being much discussion. I guess you could try listing it again at FFD following the WP:NPASR principle. The problem with relisting is that it seldom attracts more opinions at FFD. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:49, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the NPSAR link; I will consider a way to reword my nomination so as to focus more on the individual season article. Would it be acceptable to add a {{Please see}} to the user talk pages of the two editors who commented in the FFD as well as to pages such as WT:NFCC, WP:MCQ and the talk pages of the WikiProjects listed on the file's talk page or would that be considered WP:CANVAS? -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:02, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
Feel free. CANVASS is really a problem when you are seeking biased opinions, for example by posting only on talk pages of users who agreed with you or by wording the notice non-neutrally. I am personally not entirely convinced by my own close, but the standard I've always upheld here is "when in doubt, do not delete". Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 10:26, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
Just some general thoughts about this. While I think the WP:PRESERVE standard is a really good one with respect to general editing and even possibly AfDs, I think the perculiarities of file use (particularly non-free content) are not very well suited to such an approach. Like with WP:COPYVIO and WP:BLP, removal/deletion should be preferred whenever there is any doubt about the content in question; in other words, there should be 100% certainty (or really close to 100% certainty) that there is no violation for the content to be retained. WP:NFCCP begins with the statement "There is no automatic entitlement to use non-free content in an article or elsewhere on Wikipedia", and WP:NFCCE further states "Note that it is the duty of users seeking to include or retain content to provide a valid rationale". This makes it clear, at least to me, that the burden is on those wanting to add/retain non-free content to clearly demonstrate its use complies with relevant policy; in other words, they have to clearly esablish a consensus for their position and that any questionable or unclear cases should result in deletion/removal. This does not mean the file can never be re-added or undeleted; it only means the the burden for establishing a consensus is still held by those who want to do so. When a "no consensus" is defaulted to "keep" in such cases, the burden is shifted from those who want to retain/keep the content to those who feel that its removal/deletion is warranted and thus essentially makes non-free use automatic by default. Please understand that I am not personally singling you out for criticism; I am only trying to elaborate on why I disagree with these types of closes in general when it comes to non-free files. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:54, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of IObit

On July 7th, the article IObit is deleted. You can view it is an article about a software company. Why was it deleted while other similar article is still in wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eunice20170327 (talkcontribs) 06:25, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello Jo-Jo!

I had been working on the article Elizabeth Esther just this afternoon. I had found several reviews of her work in Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, a feminist journal and feel that this goes towards establishing CREATIVE. I do not believe that anyone had a chance to review the new sources and unfortunately, I was unable to !vote due to being called away from the computer for a few hours. In light of the work that I did, I would like to ask you to take another look at the article and give it more time for debate. Thanks! Megalibrarygirl (talk) 21:09, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

The primary concern was self-promotion of a fringe theorist. And it wasn't a valid policy based reason, editing could've resolved that. He meets GNG.--v/r - TP 16:05, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Greetings, @John Cummings:. My impression is that most of these were copied from http://www.unesco.org/new/en/communication-and-information/portals-and-platforms/goap/access-by-region/europe-and-north-america/finland/ and related pages with near-insignificant editing; I am afraid at the amount of work needed to undelete and move all this stiff so maybe you can work with that text? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:39, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi Jo-Jo Eumerus, there was a significant amount of editing (40+ hours) done to the text after it had been added. Is it possible to give me the ability to to undelete and move the pages myself? --John Cummings (talk) 17:37, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
The editing histories I inspected do not agree with your statement - aside for minor edits the text was mostly unmodified from the sources. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 18:43, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
The editing was done before saving also there are some articles with a significant amount of editing done to them, some less so. Can you suggest a way I can get them undeleted to work on them? --John Cummings (talk) 21:50, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Jo-Jo, would you mind if I undeleted the pages and moved them into sandboxes so they could be worked on until they're ready for mainspace? It would be a shame to lose the edits already made (which don't show up since they were made offline). Nev1 (talk) 22:17, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Colette Mazzucelli

Hi, I'm an admin who is also an OTRS volunteer. I've been handling VRTS ticket # 2016082710007096 initiated by the subject of the article Colette Mazzucelli, which you deleted a few days ago.

Apparently the version that was nominated at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colette Mazzucelli was a 5-kilobyte article using material copied from a version early in 2016. As it stood, I agree that it deserved deletion.

However, if you look in the article's deleted history, you'll see that on 28 June 2016 the article was expanded to over 30K, and that was actually well-written, well-researched work. The person who did that, however, has been identified as a paid editor at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Susana Hodge. The article survived this way for over a year, until on 12 July 2017, Doc James reverted to an older 9-kilobyte version, removing all of that work because it violated Wikimedia:Terms of Use.

I cannot help but wonder, though, if the expanded version of the article had been nominated for deletion, would it had survived? I cannot be sure. There is good information in there, but the article would still need to pass WP:NACADEMIC. If it would have survived, it would definitely need a COI tag on it, though.

Would you be willing to let me restore it to draft space to see what can be done with it? ~Anachronist (talk) 16:53, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Sure, go ahead. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 17:53, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of "Manel (term)" page

I see that you closed out a discussion about proposed deletion of the page "Manel (term)," and I'd like to suggest that this decision be revisited and the page re-posted. The main complaint in the deletion discussion page is that the term is not sufficiently notable to warrant a Wikipedia entry because there isn't sufficient use of it in legitimate media sources (i.e. not Tumblr or Twitter), in sufficient depth and for any sustained period outside the month of May 2017.

Here are some credible sources that use this term, with coverage that spans over a sustained period, starting at least as early as Oct 2016 and continuing through July 2017: (1) There's an extensive discussion about the term in this July 5, 2017 Oxford Dictionaries blog post. https://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2017/07/on-the-radar-manel/ (2) This piece in the Financial Times from June 30, 2017 features an extensive discussion of manels. https://www.ft.com/content/6fc3e4ba-575b-11e7-9fed-c19e2700005f (3) This piece in Time Magazine from July 20, 2017 discusses the "no manel" pledge. http://time.com/4863700/women-leaders-work-equality/ (4) Manels are discussed in this Nov 2016 piece in the India edition of International Business News. http://www.ibtimes.co.in/international-mens-day-moobs-manel-here-are-some-male-words-you-should-know-704694 (5) This Oct 2016 piece in the New Statesman discusses the term. http://www.newstatesman.com/2016/10/guess-who-appeared-westminster-committee-women-parliament-all-male-panel-course (6) The term is discussed in March 20 2017 edition of Daily Nation http://www.nation.co.ke/news/Male-dominance-in-media-and-panels-Kenya/1056-3856934-8dd4x4z/index.html (7) May 2017 in Hindustan Times http://www.hindustantimes.com/opinion/no-woman-judge-on-triple-talaq-bench-reflects-poor-on-india-s-judiciary/story-zTM770WHDpx1lLTu8gNuPM.html

You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Palomo), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hualca Hualca

I have just promoted your DYK for Hualca Hualca to prep. Could you confirm that the statement "they are all constructed on Neogene ignimbrites, one of which was dated to 2.2 +- 1.5 million years ago." is correct, or is there a misplaced decimal point here? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:26, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

No, just a problem with a glyph. I've remedied it. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:16, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
OK, but there is an enormous difference between 3.7 and 0.7 million years ago. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:04, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
Yeah, these dating methods can have huge uncertainties. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:33, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of Jill Chamberlain - Ways to Restore?

Hi Jo-Jo,

You recently deleted the page for Jill Chamberlain, author of The Nutshell Technique: Crack the Secret of Successful Screenwriting. The article was originally flagged, but those issues had been addressed and an editor was kind enough to help us meet Wikipedia's standards. The article was re-flagged, and before we had time to make the necessary rebuttal/edits, it was removed. The page referenced both Authority Control and Library of Congress numbers, legitimizing Jill Chamberlain as a noteworthy person. We also found the content similar to other authors and screenwriting academics such as Blake Snyder and Christopher Vogler and were somewhat confused about the issue, but we would be happy to make further edits necessary to have the page restored.

Any assistance would be much appreciated - thank you for your time!

Greetings, Jakobmwarren The thing about that article is that for a topic to have an article here on Wikipedia, multiple substantial reliable sources independent from the subject need to have written about it. Authority Control and Library of Congress don't seem like they'd be substantial enough to meet that standard, and people in the deletion discussion noted that some sources read as promotional.
