LeafFilter Gutter Protection
This page was in the process of being edited and there was a pending discussion regarding deletion. This page is a company profile for a firm that has nationwide locations, has one numerous awards and accolades, is a large employer, and has hundreds of thousands of customers nationwide. There are many small-mid size businesses on Wikipedia that have company profile pages. If this page was deleted for being "promotional" then I would suggest editing to remove questionable content. -173.189.242.180 (talk) 14:43, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
- The closing admin at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LeafFilter Gutter Protection designated this as a "soft delete", which allows for the possibility of undeletion by request. However, I am hesitant to return it to main article space in its last state, which was blatantly promotional and likely not salvageable. If you have a user account, I can userfy it to your user space for further development before you move it back to main article space. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:10, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

This page is included in a student education project, and the course page is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Uttsinghuajoint2014/Course_Page .Since it was deleted for Expired PROD, I sincerely request for undeletion, so I can improve it. Thanks a lot! -Kekoukele (talk) 14:39, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
- Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. I will notify user DGG (talk), who proposed it, and who may choose to nominate it at WP:Articles for deletion, which would start a debate lasting seven days, to which you would be welcome to contribute. Articles from student projects still need to meet the encyclopedia's standards; if you wish I can "userfy" this - move it to a subpage in the author's user space where it can be worked on. See WP:CORP for the relevant notability standard. JohnCD (talk) 17:45, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
Messiaen recording included World Premiere recording, which indicates notability -HFJ (talk) 00:15, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
- Not done This was deleted almost 2 years ago. Regardless of notability (which I don't believe it fits yet) and WP:COPYRIGHT (which makes in impossible to undelete), as a WP:BLP it was required to have multiple reliable sources - it had zero. DP 01:25, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
- CommentSuch sources are apparently available; the article refers to reviews in major publications, though it does not give the specifics beyond giving the name of the journal. Reviews of that sort are the ideal source for proving notability of a performer. However, the article does read like copyvio to me also--it's the sort of artist bio that is typically found on a program note. If you rewrite in your own words and cite the sources exactly there should be no problem with an article. DGG ( talk ) 19:43, 26 February 2014 (UTC) ,

- Not done. @Bella3b65: Hi Bella. I'm a bit confused by your edits. Can you explain your reason for creating 13 different versions of the same draft article? One topic needs and should have only one article and the same is true for draft articles. Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Nancy-Gay Rotstein still exists. The other twelve drafts you created should stay deleted. If the issue is that some deleted version has content that is different from the existing version then maybe we could retrieve for you some of that language but looking at the existing draft and the deleted draft that is the subject of your request, they look word-for-word identical.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:47, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

- Not done. This draft article was extremely promotional, being essentially half-resume, half-panegyric, singing the subject's praises. It was thus a page that if not deleted as abandoned, would properly have been deleted as blatant advertising. It also appears to have been a blatant copyright violation of various preexisting material such as this. While at times material can be copied the other way around (from Wikipedia), here every phrases in the draft seems to turn up a few different pages showing marketing going on. That is not bad in and of itself, but not for material we are going to use in a neutrally worded encyclopedia article backed up by reliable sources. Note that even if this material was suited for an article, and you own its copyright, it would need to be released by a verifiable method under a free copyright license compatible with the licenses our content is licensed under.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:31, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
He has over 41,000 facebook likes, over 41,000 youtube subscribers, over 35,000 twitter followers, over 34,000 soundcloud followers, he's in the iTunes music store and on spotify -Clinton Baptiste (talk) 20:03, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
- Note: The page was speedily-deleted under criterion A7. Pages deleted under that criterion are generally not undeleted because they require complete rewrites to be viable encyclopedia articles or because they violate our biographical or fair-use policies. None of those metrics you list prove notability. Popularity does not correlate to notability as far as Wikipedia is concerned. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 20:18, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
- I'll add that none of the things Clinton Baptiste mentions are valid measures of notability for an encyclopedia. Try again when this person meets at least one of the criteria spelled out in WP:MUSICBIO. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:22, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
It's worth mentioning that King Crimson have less than 49,000 likes on facebook and Yung Lean will most likely overtake them in 2014.
Yung Lean is easily the most famous Nordic rapper ever even though he's still a teenager.
He had the 7th best bootleg release of 2013 according to Rate Your Music the biggest user review music website in the world: http://rateyourmusic.com/customchart?page=1&chart_type=top&type=unauth&year=2013&genre_include=1&include_child_genres=1&genres=&include_child_genres_chk=1&include=both&include_archival=t&include_live=t&origin_countries=&limit=none&countries=
He's had multiple write-ups by Vice (magazine), the website of one of the biggest cultural magazines in the world, with a monthly circulation of 900,000: http://noisey.vice.com/en_se/blog/meet-yung-lean-doer-the-tee-swedish-white-rapper-whos-easily-the-weirdest-thing-on-the-internet-this-month http://noisey.vice.com/en_se/tag/Yung+Lean
The lyrics to basically every song he's ever released are on rapgenius.com, the biggest lyrics site on the internet: http://rapgenius.com/artists/Yung-lean
Multiple write-ups by Sveriges Radio the website of Sweden's national publicly funded radio broadcaster, the most popular radio broadcaster in Scandanavia: http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=4067&artikel=5527311 http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=4067&artikel=5674308 http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=3964&artikel=5721766
Multiple write-ups by Consequence of Sound: http://consequenceofsound.net/2013/10/top-10-albums-by-artists-under-18-years-old/2/ http://consequenceofsound.net/artist/yung-lean/
The music-notability criteria is incredibly rockist and dated: “Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.” “Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country.” “Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels...”
Given that in 2014, music isn't album-centric and people rarely actually buy music. How many CDs/MP3s have you bought so far this decade? I can count on one hand. Nobody listens to radio anymore either. Clinton Baptiste (talk) 05:32, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
- People are actually buying MP3s more often since it's just as convenient to do that as opposed to pirate, and people do still listen to radio. (I suggest looking up academic studies on music piracy as opposed to just following the pro-corp lines.) As to the sources and arguments:
- Lyric sites are unusable as sources for two reasons - they don't talk about the artist and including them is contributory copyright infringement, as lyrics are copyrighted to their author.
- Rate Your Music is a name-drop and unusable.
- Facebook likes are, again, utterly irrelevant as popularity does not correlate to notability as far as Wikipedia is concerned.
- One of the Vice links is an interview with the guy (which doesn't help notability) and the other is a search engine result (which is meaningless).
- The CoS links are a name-drop and another search engine result (respectively).
- You need to do better than this, especially because our biographical policy strongly applies here. We need substantial third-party sources with no ties to the subject and editorial oversight; without those there's no way this is happening.
- (As an aside, I did not include the Sveringes Radio links above because I cannot read Swedish. Someone else who's able to should assess them.) —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 19:11, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
- I looked at the Sveriges Radio links. (Clinton Baptiste is right about SR being the major radio broadcasting company in Sweden, though I'm not quite sure how he reconciles that with his claim that "nobody listens to radio"... but that's by the by.) One of the links leads to a page announcing a news feature about Yung Lean. Another one announces that Yung Lean will be mentioned briefly in a radio programme - apparently just a name drop. The third one seems to be just an image and a Spotify link - I can't tell what it is beyond that. So of the three links, only the first one would count towards notability, but I don't think it does it on its own. --bonadea contributions talk 19:33, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
Once again, Not done. This page is not the venue for requesting undeletion of articles deleted in accordance with WP:CSD#A7. Facebook likes, 7th best "bootleg" mentions on lyric sites and sites consisting of user-generated content, a single interview on Noisy, listings on iTunes, name-drop mentions in sources, coverage in blogs, etc. do not count toward notability here. If you have a problem with the guideline WP:MUSICBIO, then go to the talk page and propose a change. Bottom line, we don't publish articles on up-and-coming musicians. He must have already arrived. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:25, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
“substantial third-party sources with no ties to the subject and editorial oversight”: http://www.thefader.com/2013/07/09/download-yung-leans-unknown-death-2002-mixtape/ http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/60237/Yung-Lean-Unknown-Death-2002/
Check the Alexa rank of vice.com, it gets more traffic than the official websites of MTV, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, NME, VH1 etc. Getting tagged in six different articles on vice.com is HUGE in the music/arts world: http://noisey.vice.com/en_se/tag/Yung+Lean
From the criteria: “Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city”: Yung Lean is on the Mount Rushmore of cloud rap emcees, along with: Mac Miller, ASAP Rocky and Lil B. Cloud rap = most popular musical subgenre to debut in the last five years or so.
“Has won or been nominated for a major music award”: Yung Lean was nominated for a P3 Guld, a major Swedish music award. Clinton Baptiste (talk) 22:56, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
- OK let's look at those:
- http://www.thefader.com/2013/07/09/download-yung-leans-unknown-death-2002-mixtape/ - indie record label, providing coverage of something they distribute themselves. Not independent.
- http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/60237/Yung-Lean-Unknown-Death-2002/ - prominently presented as a "user review". We don't use user-generated content as references.
- We have a single interview on vice.com. That has been mentioned already. Alexa ranks don't count for anything in terms of notability. Blogspot has a higher ranking than vice.com too, but we don't use it either. And being tagged is not "huge". It isn't even coverage.
- If you have evidence that this artist meets any of the WP:MUSICBIO criteria, then present it to the deleting admin. We don't undelete WP:CSD#A7 articles here, as has been stated repeatedly. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:16, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
- I think I should note that our own Alexa rank is why we get so many people trying to use Wikipedia for promotion, and a very large reason why we come down hard on articles that don't meet the notability standard. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 19:01, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

On further examination, it turned out that the group was involved in a very significant controversy related to the Comcast/NBC Universal merger of 2011 - apparently, Comcast gives out $1.8 billion in donations, for which it expects a very stringent standard of loyalty from its recipients. The degree to which companies receive tax exemptions while exerting ideological control over orgaizations less resilient than Reel Grrls is really a significant concern, and I'm glad I had the chance to look into it.

Peter Leo
Peter Leo is a prominent artist in the Long Island Hip-Hop scene. Enough citations were made to show his notability. -Hizeak (talk) 19:21, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- Note: The page was speedily-deleted under criterion A7. Pages deleted under that criterion are generally not undeleted because they require complete rewrites to be viable encyclopedia articles or because they violate our biographical or fair-use policies. Note that A7 means the article doesn't make a credible claim to notability, not that the subject isn't notable. It's a matter of requiring a rewrite to explain why he's notable. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 19:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
Wright Business, Inc.
According to the removed page, it was deleted for reason G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion. But in fact, the page as originally written was deliberately balanced and not promotional in nature. It outlined the functions of the business as well as related controversies without placing undue emphasis on any detail or nature of the subject. Any promotional aspect of the article could be due to edits that were made to the page after I created it. Furthermore, on My User Talk Page, the company was listed for deletion for reason A7: No indication of Importance. The company satisfies Wikipedia's notability requirements as it has been cited in reputable, independent secondary sources, for example, the Mackinac Journal: http://www.mackinacjournal.com/x2105856791/The-Readers-Writers-Transformational-leaders-Dr-Judith-Wright-and-Dr-Bob-Wright. The founders have been referenced in publications ranging from NBC to The Chicago Tribune. If the article is restored, I would be happy to include further secondary sources to meet notability status, and keep the article balanced in nature so it is not in violation of G11 in promotional or advertising nature. I do not believe the reasons given for speedy deletion are real or substantial, and they do not live up to Wikipedia's standards. -J TerMaat (talk) 22:29, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
- It did not look promotional to me either. I suggest you ask the administrator who deleted it, Y (talk · contribs), to userfy it to a sub-page in your userspace so you can clean it up further, before moving it back to main article space. ~Amatulić (talk) 19:50, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
- Promotional was perhaps the wrong word. I note it was an entirely negative article, almost within the definition of an attack page. From comments on the admin's page, I doubt he will undelete it, and neither would I. DGG ( talk ) 20:02, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Biogerontology Research Foundation
The Biogerontology Research Foundation is a registered charity in the UK with a number of published scientific papers to its name (e.g. 1, 2). Per WP:NONPROFIT, it meets the notability criteria for a Wikipedia article: the scope of its activities is international in scale (several international research projects funded) and information about the organisation can be verified by multiple third parties (though peer-reviewed scientific papers, audited UK Charity Commission reports). -90.203.107.174 (talk) 22:21, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
- Not done - the deleted article was a copyright violation, a direct copy of the organization's website. Wikipedia cannot accept copyright material unless a formal copyright release is made, but that is seldom worthwhile, because simply copying a website does not make an acceptable article: (a) they are usually too promotional in tone, being the organization telling the story it wants the world to hear, and (b) references to significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources are required to establish notability. If you can provide those, you are welcome to write an article, though if you are connected with the organization you should first read the Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. There is more background at User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard. JohnCD (talk) 23:26, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
Folly Wildlife Rescue Trust
24.0.133.234 (talk) 22:50, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- Not done: this page has not been deleted: a deletion discussion about a year ago at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Folly Wildlife Rescue Trust decided to move it to User:Nunnsofunky/Folly Wildlife Rescue Trust so that it could be improved to meet Wikipedia's standards. That was endorsed at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2013 February 28. As far as I can see, nothing significant has been done to the draft article since then. You are welcome to continue to work on it. When it is ready, you should probably check with user J04n (talk), the administrator who closed the deletion discussion. JohnCD (talk) 23:26, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
TY for checking this so promptly. That userfy page is a little different that the last version that I remember. The original editor was having a little trouble being new to WP and a COI and I don't know if they abandoned the page or not, but I now see where the Folly Wildlife is mentioned in other articles, and it has a really nice photo gallery.24.0.133.234 (talk) 23:46, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- You can see in the history of the userfied page that it was userfied on 27 Feb 2013 by J04n, the administrator who closed the deletion discussion. After that, nothing significant was done to it except a rearrangement of the images. It is therefore essentially the same article that Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Folly Wildlife Rescue Trust decided should be userfied, and it should not be restored until the administrator who closed the discussion agrees that the reasons why that AfD decided it should not be in the main encyclopedia have been overcome. JohnCD (talk) 23:37, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
Public Interest Advocacy Centre
This was deleted in 2011 in a brief deletion discussion as not having an assertion of significance. Apparently someone tried to recreate the article and it was deleted as a recreation of a previously deleted article. One of the two delete votes in the discussion was based largely on the statement that the name is non-unique as there are both Canadian and Australian organizations with this name; however, according to the report of the Canadian organization, they assisted in setting up the group in Sydney.[2] Since the argument is one of notability, I see no problem with restoring the article at least to Draft namespace pending further documentation, which doesn't seem difficult to find.[3][4] -Wnt (talk) 16:28, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Raffy Cortina
Article was deleted because of lack of notability. However, notability guidelines for people clearly state a person is considered sufficiently notable if "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times." Raffy Cortina won an Oscar last year for his film, "Bottled Up." Albeit, it was a Student Academy Award, but it is still officially bestowed by the academy and quite sufficiently well known. Past winners include Spike Lee, Trey Parker, and Bob Saget. -Buttons23 (talk) 23:52, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Read WP:Your first article for what an article needs, in particular references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" to establish WP:Notability.

- Note: The page was speedily-deleted under criterion A7.

- First, you have a conflict of interest, because you are associated with the subject. Please read carefully WP:COI.
- Second, "I want people to know more about his background" is basically a violation of WP:NOTPROMOTION. Wikipedia is not to be used as a publicity medium.
- Third, as Jeremy noted above, we do not undelete articles that were deleted in accordance with WP:CSD#A7. Talk to the deleting administrator at [[User talk:Yunshui}}.
- Finally, if you feel that the article subject is notable, your best approach, because you have a conflict of interest, is to use the procedure described at WP:AFC. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:55, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

David Jay Brown
According to this article from Salon magazine, the deletion of the original David Jay Brown article is tainted by the long term disruption of the dreadful User:Qworty. So I request full restoration of the original contribution history, and full restoration of the original talk page's history. Geo Swan (talk) 21:25, 4 March 2014 (UTC) -Geo Swan (talk) 21:25, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- Not done. Notwithstanding the fact that the requester is a respected editor, I'm reluctant to unilaterally overturn an AFD decision on the basis of a news article. In the deletion debate, Qworty had his say, so did others independent of him, and I don't see how negative press in Salon suggests that his comments in deletion discussions are completely without merit and should be ignored. You need to talk to the deleting admin Spinningspark (talk · contribs), and if SpinningSpark doesn't agree to restore the history, then you need to go to WP:DRV. I have asked SpinningSpark to comment here. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:14, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- Under most circumstances, an article deleted by community consensus should not be undeleted without some evidence that the community now supports such undeletion. This does not apply to talk pages where they have been deleted automatically simply as a talk page of a deleted article. In fact, I have never been convinced that deleting talk pages of deleted articles is such a good idea in the first place. I therefore have no problem restoring the talk page and the old threads can now be found in the history and at Talk:David Jay Brown/Archive 1. This would not apply if the talk page had been explicitly deleted in an XFD or for a CSD reason. The article itself is a different matter, but we should note that the AFD deleted it solely on notability grounds. The article has subsequently been recreated and, since it has not been renominated, we should assume, at least for the time being, that the community has accepted this new version as notable. There is no longer any pressing reason to keep the old versions of the page deleted and I have restored the history here also. Should the article be succesfully nominated for deletion in the future, all versions of the page would, of course, be deleted again. In the meantime, it makes sense to keep them.

Please do not delete this page. I will update this page with more Information -Suman Sen 303 (talk) 15:16, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- Not done - this article has not been restored because it does not appear to meet our guidelines for inclusion of articles about companies. In general, Wikipedia considers a topic to be notable if there exist multiple reliable sources of information on the topic, external to the subject itself. Articles concerning companies will be deleted on sight if they are considered to be unambiguous advertising or promotion, or if they do not contain a credible assertion of the significance of the subject.
- Also, Wikipedia is not a place for people to write about themselves or their own companies, even if notable, because of their WP:Conflict of interest. Please read the Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. JohnCD (talk) 16:00, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
