Draft:Alistair A. Vogan
(This user used the preload form for AFC undeletion, but did not specify the name of the AFC draft they would like undeleted. Consider checking their deleted contributions.) Kingsley Kuchner (talk) 08:42, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello,
I would like to have the article I submitted, which was initially rejected for formatting reasons, to be undeleted so that I might make the required corrections. Unfortunately, the submission remained dormant for more than six months due to circumstances beyond my control.
Thank you for understanding.
Kind regards,
Kingsley Kuchner

- Done – as an Articles for creation submission deleted under CSD G13, the page has been restored on request. Please edit the page to address the issues raised when it was declined, and re-submit it; "Articles for creation" is not for the indefinite hosting of material found to be unsuitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia.

- On a side note, IMDb is not usable as a reliable source because it is ultimately a routine database listing and merchant sources like Amazon should not be on Wikipedia at all. Not only is their primary reason for existence to sell something to you, but by linking to it this can come across as Wikipedia personally endorsing the site and/or product.

Protrader
It doesn't an advertising information and its proven by valuably links. The content of the article was improved according to all wikipedia requires. -VasyaLukyanenko (talk) 12:31, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- @VasyaLukyanenko: The page was not deleted as "advertising", but rather for lack of "notability". I have restored the page, but moved it to draft space. It can now be found at Draft:Protrader. The AfD was way back in 2011, so there is a decent chance notability has been established since then. However, you need additional reliable sources to establish notability, and the article be a summary of what those sources say. Here is a news search to point you in the right direction... Please use the articles for creation process but hitting the "submit" button at the top of the draft article when you think it is ready. This way it will be reviewed by an experienced editor and advice given if improvements are needed instead of the article just being deleted on sight again. --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:04, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

The page looks like it passes GNG quite easily now, but the deleted stuff had gone through AfD so I'm not sure if this would still require his input or not.

Music Learning Theory
This deletion is improper, because the criteria for speedy deletion were not valid. The admin deleted it for reasons of copyright and promotional tone. I can only argue, as a domain expert, that the article was not infringing, and that it was not promotional. Gordon Music Learning Theory is a widely-known and cited body of music education research. The Gordon Music Learning Theory page should be restored. We can add additional citations to demonstrate that this page is valid. -Lxdrsk (talk) 13:54, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

REDCODE
Hello. REDCODE is the (proprietary) file format used by all models of one of the top-three, cinema-grade, digital motion picture camera manufacturers, the RED Digital Cinema Camera. The article describes the file format and, as far as I now, it is the only web page on the Internet trying to address that; that is a reason why it may be target of wikilinks. Take a look at the manufacturer's page to see how many movies and TV Series have been shot with RED cameras: http://www.red.com/shot-on-red Since this is a proprietary file format, yet it has very original metadata scheme, there are no sites describing it while this should be present in any technology-drive encyclopedia. As a matter of fact, I created or edited several articles describing other file formats, and they are all successful. I have also been thinking of adding more articles on other raw camera file formats' internals but, since I have too a full-time job in the business, I can never find the time. I apologize for not replying earlier (than [REDCODE]'s deletiaon), but this is understandably my main justification: lack of professional time. Thanks for your precious time reading. -Walter.Arrighetti (talk) 00:29, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Walter.Arrighetti:, I don't have a huge issue with restoring it but I am somewhat concerned with the statement "there are no sites describing it while this should be present in any technology-drive encyclopedia". The issue with this statement is that you're essentially saying that this does not have any coverage in reliable sources, or at least this is how I am interpreting this statement. Regardless of how often something is used, if the coverage does not exist to show that the topic (in this case a file format) passes notability guidelines then it really can't be on Wikipedia. Even if you or I think that something should be in Wikipedia, if it doesn't pass notability guidelines then we really can't include it until the coverage surfaces or until guidelines are changed to allow for it to be included. On first glance many of the sources in the article appear to be WP:PRIMARY, meaning that they cannot show notability and can only be used to back up basic information. I'd be a little more comfortable with this going to your userspace and you working on it until the coverage becomes available if you'd be OK with that, since if I restore it to mainspace it'd be very likely that Be..anyone could/would nominate it for AfD.

The page was deleted as "Unambiguous advertising or promotion", which is was not.

- That's not a reasonable question to ask, Jeremy.

Nicholas E. Alahverdian
This page was deleted without meeting G4 criteria. It does not contain "substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate" and changes in the content "address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted," In regards to notability, If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. (from WP:NOTABILITY). In practice, sustained news coverage of an individual pretty much guarantees notability. There are tons of sources, over 30 from major news orgs. The content is significantly different from what was deleted at AFD, making it ineligible for G4. Stuff has happened since it was deleted in April 2014 and obviously couldnt be included in that article because it was in the future. Sources about the subject are from The Boston Globe, The Providence Journal, Associated Press, Brown University student newspaper, The New Haven Register, NBC news, CBS news affiliates, Politifact, ProPublica, the Omaha world herald, WPRO, WPRI, WJAR and others. Appears to meet GNG since the "topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" and it is "suitable for a stand-alone article" (see WP:Notability). Perhaps a solution would be to reverse the delete and let the community decide. EricJ1074 (talk) 18:48, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
- Not done. It looks to me like the sources are primarily from pre-2013, which are largely what the previuosly-deleted version were relying on. It has an appearance of extensive sourcing, but most of the sources are repeated several times. As such, I don't see that it addresses the concerns in both AFDs, the first being Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nicholas Alahverdian, therefore G4 may still apply. I suggest you talk to the deleting administrator Anthony Bradbury and ask him to reconsider deletion, or at least restore it to Draft space for further improvement. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:16, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

- Hi DESTINYBOB. It may be possible for a reliably sourced article to be written demonstrating that Taoufiki is notable and having verifiable content, though a quick look did not reveal many sources to me. Reliable, secondary sources that are independent of him in French would be acceptable (I found this but little else, and that appears to be a "mere mention" of him, rather than substantive content talking about him in detail). In any event, any article would have to be written from a neutral point of view, and the content you posted read like you were involved with this subject, with a stake in using Wikipedia as an advertizing platform to promote him. I deleted the article mostly on that basis, as "blatant advertizing" under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. This does not mean you could not re-post a proper and neutrally-written article, but I suspect that is not possible at this point in his career. By the way, this page is for seeking undeletion of content already deleted. The page was not deleted when you posted here, and actually drew my attention to it. Of course it is deleted now (and I stand by that deletion). Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:19, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

- @Xsefgx5: 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/Northern Wrestling Federation (2nd nomination), 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 Michig (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.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:39, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Cascadia Composers
I wish to edit the article -Musicwriter 2014 (talk) 02:16, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
- Not done Hello Musicwriter. This page cannot be undeleted as it blatantly infringed on the copyright of those owning the content at this page. Unless you wrote that material at that external site, it was also plagiarism as it presented it as if your own writing. If you are the owner of the text, we could only use it if you or someone else with ownership over the copyright released it to the world under a compatible free copyright license (or into the public domain and did that release in a verifiable way); we could not use it simply with permission for use here. Although some of this material was not suitable in the first place to be in an encyclopedia article, if applicable, some of the the methods for providing a copyright release/freely-licensing are given at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. Please don't copy and paste previously published material again. Thank you--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:35, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
--Musicwriter 2014 (talk) 04:11, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello Fuhghettaboutit,
I don't know if this is where I respond to your comments. I am the author of the page you mentioned above. I am a member of Cascadia Composers, and I am the chairperson of the Historian committee; I have one other person on that committee. The board of Cascadia asked me to compile our history and post it onto our website and in Wikipedia. The said committee of myself and one other person compiled the information in the article after interviewing all the people mentioned in the article and I wrote the article and submitted the article to Wikipedia. I have not infringed on any copyright laws or plagerized any material. I also gave permission for the article to be printed on the Cascadia Composer website.
Please tell me how to proceed. Cascadia Composer would sincerely like to have this article, which is the history of our organization, on Wilkipedia. After my initial submission, the article was returned to me for editing; I edited it immediately, resubmitted it, and awaited the outcome. In January, 2015 I received notification that "6 months have elapsed and because I had not edited the article, it would be deleted." I had, in fact, edited and submitted the article with the changes recommended afte rmy first draft.
I had virtually given up on this project; however the Cascadia Composers board wanted me to pursue it again to try to get the article on Wikipedia.
I have no expertise in technical writing, but I followed all instructions very closely. I repeat: I have not plagiarized this article. I am the author of the article. In my frustration with trying to follow the technical aspects of proceeding with this project, I asked a Cascadia Composers board member to help. I sent him the article in its entirety, and he is to try to proceed with the project.
Please tell me how to proceed.

- Hi again Musicwriter. You can't retain non-free copyright (i.e., state "© 2015 Cascadia Composers" at the external site; a claim of non-free copyright ownership) but also post that same content here, because we require additions here to be irrevocably freely-licensed to the world for reuse under our free licenses. To fix this, make a change at the external site. Replace that copyright notice at the bottom with the following:
The text of this page is available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License and the GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
- If you do that then there's no problem with undeleting the article (drop a note here saying it's done). Alternatively, you can:
- Send an email from the domain name of the website (thus presenting a form of verification that the email is from a person with authority over the source of the content) –
- To permissions-en@wikimedia.org, containing a copyright release following the form at Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries;
- After sending the email, create Draft talk:Cascadia Composers with this content: {{OTRS pending}} and I'd also recommend referencing this discussion there.
- An OTRS volunteer will then reply to your email, indicating whether the content and the license is acceptable and should either undelete the page, or if they are not an administrator, will ask one to undelete it (they sometimes make such requests here).
- Obviously this alternative option is more involved and less within your control. Of course, that will only take care of the copyright issue allowing undeletion without a problem, but it does not mean the article will be accepted. I can and am willing to help trying to make the article more acceptable for publication once undeleted. That issue always resolves ultimately on whether there are sufficient reliable, secondary sources, entirely independent of the topic, that have written about it substantively (such as books published by major publishing houses, newspapers, magazines, peer-reviewed scholarly journals and websites that meet the same requirements as reputable print-based sources), thus demonstrating notability and allowing a verifiable article to be written. If those source don't exist then it's all for naught. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 04:50, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Musicwriter 2014: You may want to just re-write the article somewhat anyway, since it does have some sections that come across as slightly promotional. That's kind of the difficulty with taking material "as is" from another website. In most cases the material in question was written to promote its topic (in this case Cascadia Composers) so it will contain WP:PEACOCK terms and buzzwords that are meant to portray the topic in a flattering light. This isn't as bad as some of the others but it does have some phrases like "grown rapidly" and the last paragraph in the article would have to be removed entirely since it contains sentences like "diverse group of women composers that span several generations and honors their differences in compositional style and philosophies". While it doesn't immediately seem like it, it's actually somewhat easier to just re-write things than to file a ticket since it's easier to re-write and get rid of the promotional tones than it is to try to pick out the various terms without chopping up the sentences too much. I also have to say that articles that have content taken "as is" from other places are under almost continual scrutiny from other editors and in the end are almost always re-written. I remember one case (can't remember the article's name) where there was an article about an artist whose management team gave us permission to use content from their website. The content was very neutrally written and I got the impression that they'd always intended it to be placed on Wikipedia, but the content was always under scrutiny and the page was always being accused of being promotional because it had material taken from another website. Eventually a few of us just went through and did a massive re-write because we were tired of the page getting tagged and having to continually explain that it wasn't promotional.

- Yes I agree, and should have mentioned that there is no impediment to you creating the draft again right now, so long as you don't use this copyrighted material. What you should be doing is gathering together reliable sources you can use, like this, and using what they say to guide your writing hand (in your own words), while citing such sources.

- @Michiganman1979: Not done - there is nothing worth restoring: the article as you created it said only "Here is our logo" with a link to a non-existent file, and then you blanked it. If you want to create an article, go ahead, but read WP:Your first article first, to understand what a Wikipedia article needs. I suggest that you use the WP:Article wizard to guide you through the process. That will give you the option to send a draft for review at WP:Articles for creation. You should probably do that anyway, since your use of "our" suggests that you are connected with the company, so you should read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and the Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.

- I agree that these look like improper deletions. Redirects are cheap and certainly ones that have existed since 2008 (on average) should not be unilaterally deleted by an admin. One would think an admin of Wizardman's experience would know better. --ThaddeusB (talk) 17:45, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Wizardman: seems to have mass deleted another set of redirects 26 October 2014 that @Nyttend: restored that Wizardman deleted again. (If I'm extrapolating from the history of {{NJ-school-stub}} correctly) -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 03:34, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
- Very simply, stub types should be accessible to editors, so that they can be accessed and found, same as any other redirect use. Redirects make finding that stub types exist much easier, since one would expect the standard abbreviations to be available such as "NZ" or "NJ", since stub-type template names do not follow standard grammar rules. Thus all the UAE, NJ and NZ redirects should be restored ; consider that {{US-bio-stub}} exists and {{UK-stub}} so one would expect at the very least the country of New Zealand should be available.-- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 03:34, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
