shrimali

{{subst:refund|1= Shrimali Brahmin |2= This Page is belong to Shrimal is a place in India’s Rajasthan State . presently know as bhinmal. Shrimal is a combination of ” Shri ” and ” Mal ” . ” Shri ” is popularly interpreted as Laksmi , the goddess of wealth . ” Shri ” also means beauty and brightness , “Mal” means place . Thus Shrimal about 800 years ago was a beautiful prosperous place where along with other castes , Goldsmiths too lived , created pieces of beauty out of gold and prospered with other communities .

Unfortunately with constant invasions by foreigners on the North-Western borders of India , Shrimal broke down and thereby received the name Bhinmal . In Sanskrit language , the word Bhinna means broken or seperated and therefore Bhinmal means broken place . According to Shrimal Puran (part of Skanda Puran) due to curse of Rishi Gautam and Goddess Laksmi Shrimali Nagar decentrised and it’s prosperity and population come down. Since Shrimal Nagar suffered a lot, the people living there were forced to migrate. Most of them started migrating towards Gujarat and Marwar (Rajasthan). Therefore most of the Shrimali Brahmins presently residing in these two states, although they had moved and established presently all over the world with their traditional and modern profession too.

Scholar and specialized in Vedic culture of India, we can be better identified the “Shrimali Brahmin” in this Sanskrit Poem titled “Vayam Shrimali” means We are Shrimali. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vyaspunit2k (talk • contribs) 16:06, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

 Note: Not quite sure what is being requested here. Shrimali Brahmins has existed in mainspace since 2006 but was recently stubbed due to most of the material therein having been unreferenced for many years. Shrimal exists as a redirect to Bhinmal, the town's current name. And the requestor's sandbox (currently submitted to AfC) is apparently material on the Shrimali Brahmins, but entirely in Hindi. --Finngall talk 16:31, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Francisco D'Agostino

Page was a soft delete without much discussion. The article was deleted by a confirmed sock-puppet abuser with a COI. The principle investigators suspected, but not could prove all the socks were a PR firm hired by various firms, entities, and persons.

In particular there has been some fishy operations around the pages for Derwick Associates and its owners, Alejandro Betancourt Lopez, Pedro Trebbau Lopez, and Francisco D'Agostino. Several of the user involved on one or more of these pages were found to be sock puppets with a similar COI. And one user, FergusM1970, openly admitted he had been paid by Derwick Associates to remove details from the page:

There are several reliable sources that state D'Agostino is indeed a founder and owner of Derwick Associates. There's plenty of news coverage and I think it merits a re-examination of the page. Righteousskills (talk) 17:36, 7 July 2015 (UTC) -Righteousskills (talk) 17:36, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

  • Robrigo, the article was also fairly promotional in tone since it contained various marketing WP:PEACOCK terms and other buzzword-y phrases. It's extremely likely that even if this was restored, you'd still have to re-write it to fit NPOV guidelines. On a side note, if you are someone that was hired or otherwise asked to create the article (ie, anything that would pose a WP:COI issue), you will need to disclose this on your userpage. I'd also recommend that you go through one of Wikipedia's training modules like WP:ADVENTURE, just so you can get an overview of the basics of Wikipedia. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:06, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

mackenzie & halbert

the page I simply created isn't for advertisement of the company as I have no benefit whatsoever. I think it shouldn't be deleted because the page was created simply to inform about the company, what they did do and what happened to them. I used notes to cite the information even though I am new to this yet you guys have to be this harsh, especially on newcomers. if you disagree then perhaps could you EDIT the page and take out what isn't needed even if it will leave little information behind. please reconsider. if there were problems concerning the article please highlight and change it for me this once. -Ozoneplayer (talk) 16:24, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Note: The page was deleted under speedy deletion criterion A7, indicating an article that did not explain or prove why the subject was notable. A7 deletions are not overturned here; try contacting the deleting administrator (Bbb23 (talk · contribs)) instead. And I suggest to you to make use of our drafting process instead of posting directly to the considerably more-scrutinised mainspace. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 17:50, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
@Ozoneplayer:  Not done. If you want to know why this was thought promotional, consider these unedited extracts: "our clients... known for being agreeable and congenial... we have the capacity to present them with handy arrangements... The firm offers, for instance, expert Audit and Assurance administrations... dedicated to delivering the highest level of professionalism and expertise... " That is ad-speak, and anything like that is deleted from Wikipedia at sight. Other problems were (a) you gave no indication why this defunct accountancy firm is important or significant, or any different from a thousand others, i.e. why an encyclopedia should have an article about it, (b) inconsistency - you say the firm is defunct, but still write of it in the present tense; "The firm offers... Mackenzie & Halbert are dedicated... " and (c) lack of focus - the whole second half was general chat about accountancy, not about the company.
You can try again, but you should start from clean sheet. As Jeremy suggests, you would do well to use WP:Articles for creation which will let you prepare a draft for review. I will give some more advice on your talk page when I have time, within a day or two. Meanwhile read WP:Your first article JohnCD (talk) 18:11, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

@Prerna2526: Done - as an Articles for creation submission deleted under CSD G13, the page has been restored on request to a new location at Draft:Multimedia Conferencing. 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. It is not clear whether the article is about the general subject or about a particular product: either way, it needs better referencing (the only external link is a dead-link) (a) to verify what it says, and (b) to establish Wikipedia:Notability, which requires references showing significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources.

Teleperformance Philippines

Hi, we are trying to put up an article about our company for the sole reason of having a content online. Please note that this is not for advertising purposes. Our global counterpart already has an existing article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleperformance we would like to put up articles for each subsidiary. This will just supply as a reference in the future. -JeffreyJohnsonTP (talk) 03:12, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Note: The page isn't deleted, therefore there's no reason to undelete it. Please follow the instructions on the deletion tag in order to contest (if a speedy deletion or prod/stickyprod) or argue against (if a deletion debate) deletion. Please note that all articles must be backed up by multiple reliable sources that discuss the subject at length, with editorial oversight and no connection to the subject what-so-ever. Other articles' presence or absence is irrelevant (and I will note Teleperformance needs a severe rewrite), and I will note that saying "having a content online"[sic] is a good phraseology for getting your article to remain deleted. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 07:20, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Swati JaiHind

Hi The page Swati Jaihind has been deleted without giving any chance to discuss on it. A lot of unfair and unjust attempts were made last night to vandalize the page. We are in the process of improving the page but why despite all the credible sources does it seem not wiki worthy? Being lesser known does not mean having no credible importance. The person concerned is a senior government official and someone who has been an activist for almost 10 years. All works are substantiated with adequate links. I request everyone to kindly discuss first before arriving at conclusions. I respect the seniority and contributions but we all have equal rights to voice our opinion and work on Wiki. -Gautamsingh93 (talk) 03:00, 10 July 2015 (UTC) Gautamsingh93 (talk) 03:00, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Note: The page was deleted under speedy deletion criterion A7, indicating an article that did not explain or prove why the subject was notable. A7 deletions are not overturned here; try contacting the deleting administrator (NawlinWiki (talk · contribs)) instead. An A7 deletion basically says, This page does not explain why this subject is notable. Also, privately-owned websites have every right to curtail speech as they deem necessary, as you do not have a right to actually be here. (If you did, blocks and bans could not possibly exist.) —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 07:24, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
Two points: (1) the sources cited mentioned Ms. Swati Maliwal only in passing. Neither was *about* her. The first story merely quoted her once, and the second merely said that she was leading a project. That doesn't satisfy our notability criteria, WP:BIO, or our sourcing criteria, WP:V. (2) It's interesting that both articles refer to Ms. Maliwal only by her real name, but you keep trying to post the article using her promotional nickname, "Swati JaiHind" ("Jai Hind" means "long live India"). That supports our conclusion that the article is meant to promote and publicize Ms. Maliwal. We don't allow that, see WP:SPAM. NawlinWiki (talk) 14:24, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

The Master Key System

This article seems to have disappeared. I don't know why. I have searched for some record of its deletion or merger and have found none. I think that it is a notable book and should be part of Wikipedia. I can give evidence of notability if required -Jane Taaaa (talk) 15:20, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

@Jane Taaaa: You don't need undeletion for that. See The Master Key System: Revision history. It's all there. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 17:08, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
(edit conflict) It is possible, by an admittedly devious route, to find out what happened. When clicking on a page takes you to a different page, the first one has probably been redirected to the second. In this case, when clicking on the book's title takes you to the article about its author, scrolling to the top of the page shows, just beneath the title, a line "(Redirected from The Master Key System)". That gives a link which takes you back to the actual redirect page, and then clicking on "View history" shows you what has happened.
The page was redirected to the article about the book's author on 17 June by user Boleyn (talk) with edit summary "redirect; I couldn't establish that this meets WP:NBOOK or WP:GNG, and neither has anyone else in the more than 7 years it's been tagged."
Boleyn's edit could simply be reverted, restoring the article, but I suggest that you discuss with her what evidence of notability for the book you can provide. "Notability" has a special sense in Wikipedia: the test is whether there has been "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." WP:GNG is the general statement, and WP:NBOOK is specifically about books. JohnCD (talk) 17:17, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Get your learner to check out WP:Notability and the need for references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", and tell him to take care not to copy from the organization's website, which would likely be (a) copyvio and (b) too promotional in tone.

This page was deleted back in April.

Since that time, the player has made his professional debut in the CFL (see here), thereby meeting WP:NGRIDIRON.

  • Rgema, are you asking for us to undelete the English page or are you asking about the pages on another language Wikipedia? Either way, this cannot be done via REFUND, as the page for Eric Duval was deleted via WP:A7 back in 2009 and as for other language WPs, we cannot restore any articles on those sites at all. You must address this via that Wikipedia's undeletion processes. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:41, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
  • Not done It looks like you were talking about the French Wikipedia. You will need to take this up there with User:Lomita, as the English Wikipedia's administrators do not have any control over what is or isn't on other Wikipedia sites. It also looks like the page was deleted via a discussion at fr:Discussion:Éric_Duval/Suppression (or at least the consensus there was that Duval did not pass guidelines), so if you try to go about restoring it you will need to show how Duval has received enough coverage to pass WP FR's notability guidelines. Each Wikipedia has its own guidelines for notability, so just because something has a page on the Spanish language Wikipedia does not mean that it would automatically merit a page on the French Wikipedia or on any other language's Wikipedia site. Heck, the existence of a page on the Spanish language Wikipedia might not even mean that it would pass notability guidelines there, since it might just mean that the page does fail their notability criteria but it hasn't been detected and deleted yet. (Note: I do not know what ES Wikipedia's guidelines are, so I'm falling back on what we would tell people that try to say "but this has a page" on here.) Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:52, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Tokyogirl79. But I do understand if a page is in spanish doesnt not qualify but other notability also are being passed. I will take care from here thanks a lot — Preceding unsigned comment added by Baligema (talk • contribs) 11:22, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

I'm still concerned that this might be the case, given the statement here. Also, I did try looking for sources when I came across it and found nothing to show that the film would pass notability guidelines. I'm still finding nothing.

Recently an IP editor disrupted the archived/closed deletion discussion because they believe the article was wrongfully deleted. I'm requesting for an admin to restore the article at Draft:Johnny Terris so that we can look into this guy's notability again. I would also like for an admin to check whether the IP's concerns are true: that the article was defaced prior to the AfD to remove all signs of notability and that the voters at AfD didn't check the history and didn't look for sources themselves. I don't know if this is true but there's only one way to find out. It does appear to be true that some bloggers at Tumblr were messing with that article, I found some of their posts. -— Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 17:06, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

@Jeraphine Gryphon: I'm not happy to restore this to draft on the basis of the IP's accusations, because the AfD discussion shows that people did check the history and also looked for sources without success. There was certainly some silly vandalism, I guess by his pals, but I have done some spot-checking in the history and I don't see any previous version that shows notability. I will ping Stifle, the closing admin, for his view. Mine is that if we do anything it should be a formal DRV, when the article could be temp-undeleted for checking; but I think the AfD got it right, and I am inclined to do nothing unless actual evidence of notability is produced.

Thanks for checking, but I'm confused now. DRV seemed like the wrong place, that's why I brought it here. And I was asking for draftification because that way it might be easier to show notability, by editing it. The IP made some claims on their talk page (User talk:104.156.228.85) about why they think Terris is notable (it sounds good but they didn't give any concrete proof), but they're also saying that they're not very Wikipedia-savvy and I, as I told them, am not volunteering to go and do any outside research on this person. So, uh. This isn't looking very good, I guess. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 18:15, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
Actually, Jeraphine, you have a point about DRV - it wouldn't really be appropriate when the AfD result was so clear, though people do use it like that. Let us wait for Stifle's opinion - as deleting admin, it is really his call.
IP user, if you are reading this, please read WP:Notability (people), particularly the section WP:NACTOR, and WP:Notability (summary). It seems Terris was "actor, filmmaker, writer, artist, photographer and visual video editor" but even in the fullest version of the deleted article there is no claim, let alone evidence, of notable achievements in any of those fields. Can you provide links to some substantial independent comment about him and his work? JohnCD (talk) 19:37, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

There are others... the point here is that the article was deleted due to bullying and they admitted to screwing with his wikipedia and laughed about it on tumblr, including saying that they were going to have him deleted. He is currently a lead in a television series with an Oscar winning actress (and there will be many more notable links once the show comes out next month). I think if people like Chris Crocker and youtube 'stars' can be on Wikipedia, I don't see why an actual artist with over 25 years of experience can't be?? The reason why not much is on the net about him is because his work until recently was underground film stuff and that's not popular though is VERY influential, as the links above can plainly see. Just because certain people here haven't heard of him doesn't mean he isn't notable or credible enough to be here. He was here for over a decade with zero problems. His page here on wikipedia was fine until these kids started attacking it. And then it was deleted without any checking as to see if the stuff that was said was even legitimate or not. They just took these kids words over any other explanation. It was vandalism, pure and simple and should be re-instated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.156.228.106 (talk) 20:28, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

IP, it is simply not true that the article "was deleted without any checking as to see if the stuff that was said was even legitimate or not". The whole history of a Wikipedia article is visible, and it is clear from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Johnny Terris that those who contributed looked at the history as well as the current version, and also looked outside for references. Yes, there was silly vandalism on the page, but it was reverted; also a longer version was cut back with edit summary "removed pointless references" but the material removed was just a list of activities, none of which suggested notability, and the longer version was visible in the history.
IMDb is not considered a reliable source here because people can and do edit their own entries; the Male Models book is simply reprints of Wikipedia articles; some of the other references only mention his name. The ArtSlant one is more substantial, but is much the same as material which was added to the article with edit summary "more info from bio from official website", suggesting that it was a press release.
Altogether, I am not convinced he is notable, but maybe we should let you have a go at showing that he is. If Stifle does not object, I will restore the article into a draft. That will not be till Sunday, as I am out all day tomorrow. If you are going to work on this, I suggest you register an account, which is easy and free. JohnCD (talk) 22:02, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

For the record, this is kind of hilarious. For one I can assure you that he did not post his own wiki. Johnny Terris really wouldn't care if he was so called notable or even if he was on this website at all. His entire work and career went against stuff like wikipedia and fame and notoriety. He would totally snub his nose at this crap and laugh his butt off that people are even arguing about his 'notability'. The man is an transgressive punk artist. He really wouldn't care about any of this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.218.68.240 (talk) 17:27, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

  •  Done. IP user, I have restored to Draft:Johnny Terris the version which was the subject of the deletion debate. Clicking on "View history" will show the whole history of the article: you can see each previous version by clicking on the time/date link towards the left of the line. This version (from 05:02, 4 November 2013) is the fuller one I mentioned, but the additional material (a) does not seem to me to show notability, and (b) is completely unsourced. You should read the important policy WP:Verifiability, summarised as "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source". A published source is required so that, in principle, a reader can check where Wikipedia's facts come from.
If you want to improve this article, I strongly suggest registering an account, which will make communication much easier. Read WP:Your first article for advice, and WP:Notability (people) and WP:Notability (summary) to understand what is needed.
When it is ready, copying {{subst:submit}} to the top will send it for review. As it has been deleted before, it may be necessary to send a new draft to WP:Deletion review. JohnCD (talk) 21:24, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
