File:Kashinath-img.jpg

This image was deleted as copyvio, but I don't know what legitimate reason is to delete the image other than being a screenshot. Is it from a news source or where else? If undeleted, this should be taken to FFD. Also, it should be reinserted to Kashinath (actor). —George Ho (talk) 06:16, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

see Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2018 January 18#File:Kashinath-img.jpg. It was uploaded by User:Ganeshprasadkp. claimed to be a screen capture. The quality is low, and it is clear it is not a photograph from the uploader. If you can see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/upload/Ganeshprasadkp every upload from this person is a copyright infringement. Unless it is a screen capture from the uploader's own photo you can expect it to be an infringement of the original pic. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:53, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

(edit conflict)

@George Ho: I'm not sure what to make of this. I observe that Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2018 January 18#File:Kashinath-img.jpg deleted the file as a copyright violation. The deleted image itself looks like a low-resolution screen-capture of a frame from one of the actor's films. Because it is low-res, could a fair-use argument be made for restoring it, similar to a low-res image of an album cover? ~Anachronist (talk) 06:58, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
Oh... I didn't see the FFD. I don't know whether I want to contact that admin who has been removing or deleting images of recently deceased persons. I've contacted him before, and sometimes it wasn't pleasing. Can either of you contact that admin please? Thanks. George Ho (talk) 07:04, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
@George Ho: What would you want to say? In this case, the uploader (currently blocked for massive copyright violations) uploaded a screencap from a video. This was a slam-dunk non-controversial speedy delete. I would have probably done the same. I don't know how contacting the deleting admin would accomplish anything here, unless you can offer an legitimate argument for restoring the image. I have no idea about the fair-use angle I suggested above. ~Anachronist (talk) 07:26, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
All right then... I'll continue my journey then to obtain free-use image until I run out. George Ho (talk) 07:28, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

  • Techzette, it remains a promotional article sourced entirely to press releases, the company's own sources, and a market research firm. None of these are acceptable to show the necessary references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, necessary for showing notability. (The USA today source is actually a short mention in a general article about international trade). The promotional nature is indicated by the emphasis of lists of companies using the product. There is very little chance the article would possible survive an AFD if it were moved to mainspace, and if these are the best sources available, I do not see how it would presently be possible to write an article on the company that would be acceptable. I am rather surprised that after doing good work with articles on unquestionably notable firms,you should try to write an article on this re;atoively minor company. DGG ( talk ) 20:50, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
  • DGG Understood. Let me see if I can't dig up print material quality print source material and reboot the article in my namespace. Though the company appears relatively minor, it is notable in its revenues, history, and subsequent influence on the Austin Texas tech community. Techzette (talk)

TransitX

have recently become interested in a transportation proposal called TransitX. In December or January I came to the Wikipedia page with this title and noticed a proposed deletion notice mentioning lack of notability and commercial connection I think. I feel lack of notability is ridiculous: Google TransitX and you'll see dozens of articles in major newspapers like the Boston Globe, presentations at conferences and workshops, and minutes of government bodies etc. that indicate it is being taken seriously. IMHO it is an innovative proposal that addresses important social needs like commuting and reducing the huge waste of energy in transportation. I don't know any more about the deletion discussion since all traces of the page seem to be gone, but I would like it to be undeleted so more people can weigh in. Thanks for your consideration!

  • You will be after Transit X · ( talk | logs | links | watch | afd ) · [revisions]
  • 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/Transit X, 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. After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review. The deleted page is about a proposal, that is not yet realised.

Western values

I have been advised by an editor that the decision was hasty and to ask for an editorial review via wp:undelete. I have also been advised to shorten and to reformat the article. I have done this and placed the revised article in Drafts:Western values. I have also opened a Talk page on that site. I should like to see the page undeleted. Thank you. —Patnovak (talk) 17:21, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

@Patnovak: This is not the place to ask for editorial review. There is also nothing to undelete; all the contribution history for Western values redirect is still available. Please go to Wikipedia:Articles for creation and submit Draft:Western values for review. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:42, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
@Anachronist: The article cannot be restored because an admin (User:RHaworth) has protected that page. What we have here is in essence a silent delete: first User:Patnovak was reverted several times, then the article was protected in the redirect (i.e. effectively deleted) version, and now we are referring him to the Draft which is backlogged for several months, and where his article can be rejected upon the reviewrs' whim. I, for one, think his article belongs in the mainspace, and if someone does not like it, they should go to AfD. I'll ask RHaworth (or another admin here) to unprotect the article, restore the article version, and if you think it is problematic enough, please take it to AfD. The current silent delete and 'go to Draft' situation is unfair; that article has all the right to be in mainspace and to be subject to normal deletion procedure, one involving proper community decision. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 16:20, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
@Piotrus: The article looks like a term paper or perhaps a college thesis. I'm not arguing that the subject isn't worthy of an encyclopedia, but the draft as it stands needs some cleanup. I see a lot of WP:SYNTHESIS of sources in there. Being in draft space isn't the same as deleting it. So what if it's backlogged? Draft restorations are non-controversial, and all anyone needs to do is make a minor edit to reset the expiration clock. There are no deadlines on Wikipedia. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:42, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
I agree: the article is one solid slab of original research. You are just going to have to put up with the draftspace backlog and reviewers' whims. In the unlikely event of the draft being accepted, unprotection of the mainspace title will be uncontroversial. But note that nothing will happen to the article until you slap {{subst:submit}} on the top of it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:54, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
I slapped an {{AFC draft}} template on it. That at least gives the author a button to submit it after cleaning it up. Also @Patnovak: and @Piotrus: See the detailed analysis that Staszek Lem (talk · contribs) added to the top of Draft:Western values explaining why the article cannot be accepted into main article space at this time. It needs a massive rewrite. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:53, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Residual SvG articles

User:JzG has been resistive of restoring these articles because they were initiated by User:Sander.v.Ginkel. See User talk:Aymatth2/SvG clean-up/Guidelines as well. These are legitimate articles. Because of the misdirection in these secret deletions under G5, I really don't know how many other articles with the matching situation (meaning creation by SvG) have actually been deleted. We went through a checking process a year ago, I was part of that process, though apparently some of the people performing the checks were socks. Those socks deceived us all, but in this effort to go back to punish SvG, legitimate content has been deleted. I am requesting ALL previously checked articles that have subsequently been deleted be userfied so they can be rechecked and the legitimate content restored. Trackinfo (talk) 18:54, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Trackinfo This is correct: it's long-term abuse and sockpuppetry. However, I (and others) are happy to provide the content if you want to use it to clean-start the articles. Do you understand the difference between the two, please? I do wonder if this is the root of a mutual misunderstanding. Guy (Help!) 19:03, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
Userfy the content, I will repost it stripping SvGs creation and other editors history. Trackinfo (talk) 19:38, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
Would somebody please step in and fix this situation. This Guy continues to edit elsewhere but does not address the situation he caused by his zeal to punish SvG. He has dragged this out for days. Trackinfo (talk) 23:55, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
I think it would be better to retain the earlier edits and attribution,. I do that when I take responsibility for an article that would otherwise be subject to G5. I see no policy that requires us to remove this--rather,as I understand it, policy permits us to delete it if no established user is willing to adopt it. DGG ( talk ) 16:49, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
The only reason I would have cause to remove SvG's attribution for the edits is because his signature causes this irrational approach to content he was once involved with. SvG is gone. If he tries to come back as a sock, shut him off if you feel that is justified. I have not seen anything he has done to cause such aggression towards him, others believe they have. If he were the only editor on the content, you might have some justification for CHECKING the content. Once legitimate editors like myself have signed off on the content, then SvG is just a historical milepost now long past. We DID check his content. In many cases it was my signature that moved things from draft to mainspace, with improvements to the article. If some of the other editors moving that content to mainspace were socks, they did not have the right to do so. Revert their edit and take it back to draft. Don't do it in secrecy. We checked off that list at 100% done a year ago, so if you don't post a note that something has changed, we probably won't notice. Other than that, walk away. Go away. We will take care of keeping legitimate content. Nowhere is delete a rational solution. Trackinfo (talk) 18:04, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Just to let you know, yes, I understand that there is a preserved example of this car in existence. However, I find this car very historically significant. And the other point is that I find it better to use a historical picture in place of a modern picture, because it shows a lot about the subway's history. Therefore, if it is possible, could you please undelete this file? I will eventually delete it again once someone agrees to upload a free version (I tried asking multiple users but they have all refuesd). —Davidng913 (talk) 17:54, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

  • I don't think you've got a valid fair use case here. Whether an image is replaceable by a free alternative is defined by whether it's possible for someone to take a free alternative, not by whether anyone can be bothered to do so. Can you point to a place where this image would be used to illustrate the history of the subway where a free picture wouldn't do the same thing? Hut 8.5 23:20, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
    • Then that I cannot do. So be it. I'll just have to find someone to take the picture and eventually send it to us (whether by here or by Commons). I was intending it to be used in the article Deck Roof Hi-V (New York City Subway car).

Dooney Boys

Enter your reasoning here and then click the "Publish changes" button below —Algchris (talk) 02:46, 23 February 2018 (UTC) This page was deleted two years ago anonymously for no parent reason. The article its self was sourced and did not violate any terms of Wikipedia's policy.

You should be asking user talk:Ritchie333, as that was who deleted it. The reason for deletion was no claim of importance. You may be able to justify a claim. However blogs, and discussion forums do not make reliable sources. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:17, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

 Done Although I have restored Draft:Joburg Giants for you, the Jo'burg Giants article is far superior and you should consider improving that. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:05, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Nancy Appleton

The Wikipedia contributor who deleted it Explicit stated that the article has “no notability or encyclopedia value” as the reason for deletion. I disagree with this Nancy Appleton is a distinguished researcher who is well respected in her field and has spent the last 20+ years investigating the dangers of sugar and the correlation between sugar consumption and chronic disease. She has lectured around the world, submitted peer-reviewed work and published books on the subject. It is because of this that she is not only of encyclopedia value but meets Wikipedia notability under the scope of living people and the scope of academics. Not to mention this article certainly adds to the diversity of Wikipedia.

Please note that the reason I am utilizing request for undeletion without discussing it with Explicit is that Explicit stated on stated on his talk that his he is busy and that requests for undeletion should be made here instead of discussing on his talk page. —Nottoohackneyed (talk) 05:22, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Sujit Nair

The page of Sujit Nair was deleted as he is a journalist and he did a report against an owner of news channel exposing his scams. Where in revenge he used bots to take down his presence from the internet. This was an act of revenge and not because the page had false information. —Vicky Daniel (talk) 07:21, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

  • Done Though your suggestion that bots were used to delete this page appears to be unfounded. If you have any further information about bots being used negatively on Wikipedia, please supply it, and I will block them. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:46, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

We are working to have press releases published after a few new tools are released and after RootsTech 2018 to provide additional content to the page to make it approved. —Erinweck (talk) 17:13, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

@Erinweck: Who exactly is "we"?
Are you aware that press releases aren't valid sources for establishing notability? See Wikipedia:Golden rule for an overview of what is expected.
And finally, most important: Please read and comply with WP:PAID before asking an administrator to do anything further. Thanks. ~Anachronist (talk) 18:36, 25 February 2018 (UTC)'
@Anachronist: To answer your question "Who exactly is "we"?" is us at RootsFinder.com

From my first failure to publish this page from an admin to publish the page, I was informed that press releases were valid as published news content. Ok, I can work without a press release. I'd like to have this page undeleted so I can make edits and republish. I am in compliance with trying to create this page and trying really hard to get this page through. Compared to other genealogy wiki pages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FamilySearch), RootsFinder.com is no different and fits into a relationship with FamilySearch and I'm just trying to build the page with appropriate content.

Please make your WP:PAID decalaration on your user page: User:Erinweck. Sources can be sorted out at a later point in drafting. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:21, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
@Graeme Bartlett: Hello @Graeme Bartlett, I have added the requested WP:PAID to my WordPress Userpage. I am employed by RootsFinder.com and authorized to create and make edits to the page in question. Thank you.

Wood Lock

This page was deleted as "Unambiguously advertising". This does not seem to be the case at all (although I can only view the deleted content via Archive.org's Wayback Machine, due to a somewhat misguided Wikipedia policy). ——porges 02:18, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

It sounds like advertising to me, but not unambuuously so, so I think this should have gone through the AfD process rather than speedied. I'll contact the admin who speedied it, DGG. edited — Charles Stewart (talk) 09:28, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
@Porges:: I contacted DGG who was unwilling to restore the page because of how extremely promotional he found the article. If you want to pursue this, you should challenge DGG's speedy via deledtion review (WP:DRV). If you need help with that process, ask me on my talk page. — Charles Stewart (talk) 09:11, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Restoration en masse of G13-ed articles

Looking through my watchlist, I noticed these drafts were mostly deleted on G13. I request that they be restored for future improvement. Thanks, Jjjjjjdddddd (talk) 22:28, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

  • Mostly you tagged these for problems that meant they should be deleted, or moved them out of mainspace. So some are totally not worth having back. You are welcome to improve the restorals yourself. Don't expect the creators will be back to work on them. Restoring to prove a point or make a political statement is a waste of time.
  • You yourself tagged it with an advert tag. Puffery included: successfully, revolutionary, over 95%, detailed and comprehensive, state-of-the-art, a major step forward, powerful, considerably faster etc. So if you think this topic is important, start afresh.
