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.

Petr Cibulka, Czech politician.jpg

Cibulka is a fringe Czech politician (his party got 1% of votes for their best nationalwide election). He had a bio on his page (archive), photo and a disclaimer that anyone can use his materials. Everything was in Czech language. The photo survived 6 years until some zealous deleter, citing F11, deleted it recently. The photo was allowed to be used, is used elsewhere [2] and the information about permission was present on the description page. It wasn't any formal licence, his pages state on the bottom (in Czech): Whoever will, without our permission and without changes, diseminate our materials is our best friend!. I cannot imagine what restrictions one can see here. (If undeleted, please insert it back to Petr Cibulka, I edit here only occasionally and may miss it.) -Pavel Vozenilek (talk) 17:31, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

not enough reason to delete it while I am still working on the detail of the article -Dark star in ocean (talk) 14:45, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Not done - As announced at the top of the page, this process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially and has no applicability to articles deleted after any deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andy Laode Abdul Hasan, it cannot be undeleted through this process. Nevertheless, if you believe that the consensus found at the discussion was in error, or that significant new information has come to light since the deletion, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user Mark Arsten (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. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:20, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

I will notify user Michael A. White (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. The article needs to show, with references, how he is notable in Wikipedia's sense in his own right; just being the grandson of a president is not enough. JohnCD (talk) 10:14, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Afghan_Hound_Academy

This is an informative website which is in concept and development stage coupled with a discussion group concerning afghan hound dogs and has recently been cited in Dog News USA as one of the most informative and respected Facebook discussion groups available. We are developing the website further. Academy is an on line educational resource using the Facebook API. The reason for the wiki page is to add this to the encylopedia due to its status as a very relevant touchpoint for people involved in afghan hound dogs from the American Kennel Club to over 1400 people globally who enter into debate on the breed. This was not entered for promotional reasons and is not simply a blog forum. The Academy is quickly becoming a very important touchpoint for these niche global community in the past months since its inception hence why I write this and say that this article should NOT be deleted and be reinstated. This was deleted by Smalljim within 10 minutes of being published. Thank you... -Josephleebrown (talk) 10:02, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Harold Jaffe

Hi guys ...

I am unaware of why the page was originally deleted. Harold Jaffe is a renouned author of international regard. He's published countless stories and 18 books that have been translated across nine languages. He is also the 30-year editor of Fiction International, which has been named one of the world's top literary magazines.

More information can be seen at the following websites:

http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~hjaffe/bio.html (academic website) http://www.fictioninternational.com/ http://www.jaffeantijaffe.com/

Parenthetically, Jaffe is referenced numerous times throughout Wikipedia itself, including reference to his contributions to the literary form of bizarro fiction.

It seems appropriate that he should be included in WP.

Thanks.

Jneiro Jarel

Reason it was deleted is inaccurate -Indigo84 (talk) 15:52, 26 August 2012 (UTC)


It states that certain content was removed from this page due to a "potential copyright issue". I'm not really sure which part of the article this specifies but, I am Jneiro Jarel's personal assistant and the original author of the material which has been removed. I created part of it as a promo statement for his 2010 release "Android Love Mayhem" (which has been re used in various online medias and publications); I am the original author, however. I also wrote the original content on this page which I recently made several edits to, in order to condense the topics of discussion. I planned on making several more edits and tweaks to this page, due to the fact that Jneiro's new album was just released on August 21st. This is all interfering with that process now. I read the section on possible solutions to this content removal but, quite honestly, it was like reading Chinese, lol. If it could be put to me (in simplified terms) what I need to do in order to have the content put back on the page, and to prevent things like this from happening in the future, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. :-)

You will ahve to prove that you do indeed own the copyright to the text. One way to do this is to put a CC-BY-SA-3.0 license on the bottom on the copied pages (http://www.grooveattack.com/2005/01/20/features_103/ http://www.grooveattack.com/2010/09/10/jneiro-jarel/). And another ways is described at WP:PERMIT. You can state your case at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2012 August 22. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:53, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

  •  Not done Since you posted it 3 times already I suspect that you have a copy. You need to make this less promotional before it can appear on Wikipedia. Words like "you" cause this to have the wrong style. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:45, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Grassroots Shakespeare London

  • Grassroots shakespeare london · ( talk | logs | links | watch ) · [revisions] contribs) deleted page Grassroots shakespeare london (A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content): Also WP:CSD#G11 - unambiguous promotion) The significance was explained. This is an award nominated company. It is significant that it was only established a year ago and has significant recognition on the London fringe scene. It has been recommended by the Evening Standard, which has a significant standing in the London community with a distribution of 700,00 and by Time Out, also a significant publication with significant weight. It is no more unambiguous promotion that the RSC having a page explaining who they are. This company is making a name for itself in London and while that might not seem signicant to someone with no knowledge or interest in the London theatre scene, it is of significance to Londoners and those interested in its theatre. This company has performed at the RSC and as part of the World Shakespeare Festival, which are significant accolades and significant venues. They have also been nominated twice for the significant Off West End Awards, all of which was linked and explained in the article. This is extremely significant in the London theatre scene. The person deleting the article did not request any further information which could have easily been supplied. They are no more insignificant than http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Night_Out_Presents incidentally this theatre has closed down and this article is out of date. I would like this article to be reinstated. I am happy to edit it but it is worthy and significant enough to be included in Wikipedia}}

Palm Beach Makos

reasoning -Steenster (talk) 15:06, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

How is it fair to delete the page of the "Palm Beach Makos" when the same type of minor league team the "Palm Beach Mariners" remain in Wikipedia.Our team provides a public service as a community based non-profit. Both college students and school age children have done reports on the team. We have been invited to judge presentations on the Makos by college students at Northwood University. The question has come-up on dozens of occasions as to why there was no info on Wikipedia on the Makos. The students did research via google, yahoo, and other search engines. The Mariners remain in Wiki and the Makos are deleted immendiately. The only different in the two teams is that the Mariners are managed by a 50 year old guy with no formal education whom lives with his mother. The Makos are managed by two African American retired Marines (combat veteran and disabled veteran) with post graduate degrees. This is a insult to our organization, our military service, and the military branches that support the Makos. Please restore the Makos page. Please call me to discuss I can be reached at [details removed]

Hello. This article was deleted for some reason. The item is still being sold at Newegg and other sites. The item has not been replaced with another model, and is still being used by many people. I do not understand why the article was deleted. Cisco/Linksys still supports the device. Various VOIP providers support it.

If there is a real, legitimate reason for the deletion, can you please explain? I tried linking this to a friend for reference since I am trying to convince him to save money by switching to VOIP.

If nothing can be done to restore the page, is there a way I can get a copy of the old page before it is lost forever? I will host it myself if I must. I love the device and think something must have happened accidentally, or that a competing product is trying to bury the competition.

Thank you in advance for any replies.

grounds for deletion seemed not fully resonable given the topic. Also there are several articles referring to it.

Gary Shaw; Gary E. Shaw; Gary Edgar Shaw

This article was originally submitted with the assistance of my son GDShaw (Garan D. Shaw.) I then checked it for accuracy, making a few changes. My suspension as to why the article was deleted, is that I have led a Horatio Alger type life, which some people find unbelievable. Everything in this article is true. I came from a poor background to having worked for prominent persons such as US House Speaker Carl Albert, Hugo Mann (German Retailer/Industrialist), Jim Senegal (CEO of COSTCO), have had many accomplishments and and awards which are all a part of my biographical information. I can understand why my biography may seem by some to be a self promotion but I assure everyone that everything in the article was meant to be a biographical documentation of my life. In example, when I say that I have met and conversed with six presidents, is this a self promotion or a statement of one of my life's biographical experiences? I find it somewhat offensive that persons who have never met me , talked with me or have no first-hand knowledge of my life, label my biography as self-promotional. I respectfully request that this article be undeleted. Thank You, Gary Edgar Shaw — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.129.88.226 (talk) 23:57, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

 Not done. This article was deleted as a result of the deletion discussion at WP:Articles for deletion/Gary Shaw; Gary E.

Article was redirected to Ford Ranger (North america). While it's true that the B-Series line was merged with the Ranger, before 1993 the B-Series was a completely different vehicle who's only similarity with the Ranger was that they were both compact trucks. The article that is intended to replace the article for the B-Series does not include any information on pre-1993 Mazda trucks and does not detail differences in the post-1993 Mazda branded varient of the Ranger model.

Adobe also hosts a video tutorial about it on its site: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/360flex-conference/building-red5-applications-by-chris-allen/ If the article was simply deleted due to "self promotion" then why would this article still be allowed to exist? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wowza_Media_Server

 Not done. This article was deleted as a result of the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Red5 so, as stated at the top of this page, it will not be undeleted here. WP:Notability, in Wikipedia's sense, is not a matter of opinion but of showing references to "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" - see WP:42. The recently deleted article was only three lines, gave no indication of importance or significance, and gave no references but www.red5.org. If you can find independent references to confirm the claims you make, I suggest you write a userspace draft article (advice on how to do that on your talk page tomorrow) and then approach user ThaddeusB (talk), the deleting administrator, for agreement to post it. As far as other articles go, we know that many are below standard, so What about that other article? is not an argument that is accepted - each is considered on its own merits.

Not done - this article has not been restored because it does not appear to meet our guidelines for inclusion of articles concerning websites. 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.

Subject Has Citations-Notability -Poemflower (talk) 00:25, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to bring new citations to the attention of the the previous editors in regards to author-poet as deleted R.M. Engelhardt. Here are several links that have been provided as well as article quotations in his regard to his notability as a writer/poet on the internet and websites. There are also several previous links to his works-books listed in your previous documentation as well that closely deserve attention.

Thank you.

ALBANY POETS HISTORY Albany Poets (then, AlbanyPoets.org) began in May of 2000 by poets R.M. Engelhardt and Thom Francis as a way to promote poetry and spoken word in the Albany area by featuring local poets, spoken word performers and events on the Internet. R.M. Engelhardt was the poet responsible for first creating AlbanyPoets, then with coming up with the idea for Albany WordFest, an idea a myriad of poets have been carrying out since 2001.

 Not done. This article was deleted as a result of a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/R. M. Engelhardt so, as stated at the top of this page, it will not be undeleted here. The administrator who closed that discussion is no longer active so, as Dlohcierekim (talk) has advised you, you need to make your case at WP:Deletion review. Note that WP:Notability, in Wikipedia terms, requires evidence of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The links you supply above are to a list of Engelhardt's works and the website of his group; what is required is independent comment about him, such as reviews. If you wish, I will "userfy" the deleted article about him - move it into a sub-page in your user space where you can work on it, to prepare an improved version to be considered at Deletion review. Read WP:Your first article, WP:Notability, and WP:Notability (people), particularly the section WP:CREATIVE. One suggestion at the deletion discussion was that it might be easier to show notability for Albany Poets. JohnCD (talk) 09:04, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Anne K. Block

The original article was deleted with little discussion after the subject repeatedly whitewashed the article, removing all citations and sources. The subject is an individual of great regional import who has attempted to recall at least 11 elected officials including the current Executive of Snohomish County, whom she has attempted to recall three times. Snohomish County is a region of world import, it is the home of Boeing and the third largest county in Washington State. It contains the largest port no the west coast. Block's actions greatly affect the governance of this region. In addition,Block is a pioneer in utilizing the Public Records Act. Block has filed numerous large requests and related court claims. She targets municipalities that cannot process the volume of documents she requests and then files suit. Her requests have caused hearings and proposed law changes at the state and federal level. Her actions have resulted in the bankrupting of small municipalities and the resignation of multiple elected officials. While none of her numerous legal actions have been sucesful, Block has cost the state millions of dollars and her posting of embarrassing (publishing unsourced claims of elected official's supposed STDs or affairs) or private details obtained through the records process has caused several elected officials to resign. Every action that Block files must be contested by a team of City, County or State officials and while her usual practice is to withdraw her motions the day before the case, the government and targeted officials must go through the cost and time of preparing. The Seattle Times states that these costs now occupy over 35 percent of Block's hometown's yearly budget. Block maintains a twitter account and an online news site to promote her activism, and her recall attempts and litigation are covered by all of the major regional media outlets including daily newspapers with circulations in excess of 500,000 subscribers per day. The Seattle Times has published numerous articles on Block including a front page investigative report conducted by the Times' Pulitzer Prize winning team. The other regional dailies and every broadcast outlet have also covered Block. The article in question, while in need of work, is backed up by primary sourcing consisting of articles from major, respected daily newspapers, regional broacsating outlets, and original source documents from courts and municipalities. Block did not shirk the attention of the page but instead deleted all of the sourcing and chose to write in the third person about her accounts. I would like to achieve a neutral, well-sourced version of the article as it is a subject of great importance both in the State of Washington and regionally. Please consider undeleting this page so we can create an informative and fair BLP. Thank you. L8incoub3rt (talk) 00:12, 6 September 2012 (UTC) -L8incoub3rt (talk) 00:12, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

 Not done. This was an attack page, contrary to Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia is not a soapbox. See WP:Articles for deletion/Anne K. Block. If you want it restored, you will have to make your case at WP:Deletion review, but first read the policies I have linked, and WP:Biographies of living persons. JohnCD (talk) 19:34, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment. I am new at Wikipedia. It is my intent to write a fair, sourced, neutral piece. I have read your links and will follow the advice you have given me. However, I have one question/point to run by you. Encyclopedic content should be factual. Factual is different from balanced. In some cases, there are not an equal number of sources that paint point/counterpoint pictures of individuals. It has been stated that the Anne K Block article was an attack page. I agree that it was far from a finished prodct, and that it needed work. However, if the page was an attack page, then it was only an attack page because that's what the sourcing dictated. I would ask any editor to read the Seattle Times piece that is used as the most prominent source in the article. I found 25 other secondary sources but used the times source the most because it is the largest and most respected journalistic outlet in the region. What if the facts as reported by secondary sources don't paint a balanced portrait? Thank you very much for your input. It is appreciated. L8incoub3rt (talk) 22:11, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

The last two lines of your first request above say that you want a neutral, well-sourced article, but the previous twenty or so lines are sustained anti-Block polemic. The strong impression given here, in the edit-wars on the deleted article, and by Anne Block being reposted by another single-purpose account within a week of the deletion of Anne K. Block, is that the citizens of Snohomish County want to use Wikipedia as an arena for their local political battle. That is absolutely not what an encyclopedia is for.
Yes, it is possible to construct a balanced biography where sources are largely negative (we manage to cover Adolf Hitler and Pol Pot), but it requires care in considering the overall impression given. If the author's opinion of the subject shines through, and the selection of sources is relentlessly one-sided, then the article is an attack, and we will not accept an attack as a basis for development. See WP:BLP#Balance, in particular the sentence:

"The idea expressed in WP:Eventualism – that every Wikipedia article is a work in progress, and that it is therefore okay for an article to be temporarily unbalanced, because it will eventually be brought into shape – does not apply to biographies. Given their potential impact on biography subjects' lives, biographies must be balanced and fair to their subjects at all times."

See also WP:COATRACK, particularly the sections WP:BITR and WP:CHERRY, and the guideline on WP:Conflict of interest. I am sorry to quote so many policies and guidelines, but this kind of situation is far from new, and it saves writing it all out at length. JohnCD (talk) 00:00, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

 Not done - I see the article author Jstheorist (talk · contribs) says on your talk page that he is John Stojanowski, the author of the paper copied, and has "given Wikipedia the right to freely distribute", but how has he done that? We can't just accept an OK from someone on the end of a wire - permission needs to be confirmed by one of the ways described at WP:DCM.
More seriously, even given permission, this fails WP:No original research - he has lots of references, but he has combined what they say to produce his new theory, and that is WP:SYNTHESIS and not allowed: "Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources." JohnCD (talk) 19:16, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
I agree with you, but CSD was reverted once by another editor, so I assumed there were no other problem. Bad assumption. I will check on the permission and notify the author that the OR has to go. Thanks John. --  :- ) Don 19:24, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
I don't think it's salvageable - the whole thing is OR. If posted, it will certainly go straight to AfD. The other key passage in WP:NOR is: "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it. If you discover something new, Wikipedia is not the place to announce such a discovery." There are plenty of Ghits, but they are all about his book, I don't see any independent discussion. There is, for instance no mention of this theory in Google Scholar. JohnCD (talk) 20:07, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Category:Armenian terrorism

Category was deleted for the reason that 5 years ago a category with the same name was deleted as the result of this discussion. And the user which deleted it today guided by Wikipedia:CSD#G4. But as you can see from the discussion results and deletion summary, 5 years ago this category was deleted because just one article linked to it. Today I have recreated this category and added 22 articles and 3 subcategories. And as it's stated in the Wikipedia:CSD#G4:

"A sufficiently identical and unimproved copy, having any title, of a page deleted via its most recent deletion discussion. This excludes pages that are not substantially identical to the deleted version, pages to which the reason for the deletion no longer applies ...".

So as you can see reason for the deletion is no longer applied for this situation. But user which deleted the category also removed all links from articles and by this he created artificial situation when his position seems correct. -Wertuose (talk) 19:16, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

 Not done. Decisions of deletion discussions are not reversed here - see top of page. The 2007 discussion you linked shows that the reason for deletion was not primarily that the category was under-populated, but that the name was considered inappropriate. The closing admin mentioned the possibility of creating a new category "without the baggage of the current name". Re-creating the category with the same name does not improve it, or overcome the reason for deletion. If you wish to challenge the result of the 2007 discussion, or my recent G4 deletion, the place to do that is WP:Deletion review. JohnCD (talk) 21:20, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
