limalama
reasoning -72.197.91.252 (talk) 07:55, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
Please accept my apologies, if I am violating the complexities of this procedure (I am unfamiliar with any of this). This page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_martial_arts#Asia) can not have a single entry for a Samoan martial art? There are so many relatively unknown others that will become generally known - thanks to Wikipedia. Samoa can not have a link and one page? There is so much room here. Here is the archived page (http://web.archive.org/web/20101111030840/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limalama). Please understand that it is very difficult to find European-style citations for a culture of oral traditions.
Thank you for pausing to consider our request that the efforts of our last king's son be recognised.
- 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/Limalama, 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 Ron Ritzman (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. JohnCD (talk) 10:52, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

There are too many independent sources mentioning and refering to FINE MEP. Just some examples are the following: http://www.buildingsmart-tech.org/implementation/implementations http://www.aecbytes.com/vendorhub/BIMforMEP.html http://www.youtube.com/user/FINEMEP http://www.intellicad.org/articles-and-press-releases/bid/111612/ITC-Member-4M-Releases-New-BIM-Suite-Version-Based-on-IntelliCAD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CAx_companies http://dwgcadsoftware.com/comparison-of-fine-hvac-with-other-mep-software http://www.intellicad.org/success-stories/building-design-case-study---elxis/ -Spiros4m (talk) 15:37, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
- Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. I will notify user MrOllie (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 (though if, as I deduce from your username, you work for the product's manufacturer, you should declare your WP:Conflict of interest in any contribution you make to a deletion debate). Please add some of your independent references. It was also help if the article read less like a manufacturer's brochure, with lists of features aimed at potential customers, and more like an encyclopedia article written from outside for the general reader.

Carol Resnick
Article was deleted through PROD the week that my husband went away to visit his dying father. I was too busy with my 2yo to review the article and correct any issues or even to notice the notification on my talk page. Article was PROD-ed based on WP: Notability, reportedly because references were primarily about her husband, a TREMENDOUSLY FAMOUS author. Being overshadowed by the primary subject of a reference work would not be considered reason to disregard someone's accomplishments except in cases like these, where the subject is a spouse. Faulty assumption that Resnick is not notable because her husband is highly notable and her notability pales in contrast. -Netmouse (talk) 21:33, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
- Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. I will notify user Kelly Marie 0812 (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 has been flagged for five years as needing better references: two of the three are deadlinks, and the one that works is entirely about her husband, giving only mentions of her as a collaborator on some works. No, her husband's notability should no overshadow hers, but it cannot create it, either. What is needed are references that show "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" about her. JohnCD (talk) 21:54, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Adimittedly I should have spotted this as a prod, but didn't. He's got a following and was one of the original tea party popularisers. If this really needs to be deleted it should go to AfD. Could it be restored so that I can try to improve it? -JASpencer (talk) 08:09, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

I will notify user Djobouti phat (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.

Spider's Web: A Pig's Tale/Noelle North
- Spider's Web: A Pig's Tale · ( talk | logs | links | watch ) · [revisions]
- Noelle North · ( talk | logs | links | watch | afd ) · [revisions]
I feel that the film and the actress meet at least some notability criteria, although the first article was deleted and salted on numerous Wikis.
- Spider's Web's notability: two longtime anime voice actors (Peter Fernandez and Corinne Orr) were in the voice cast in major roles; widely available on DVD.
- Noelle North: had major voice acting roles in several long-running 1980s cartoons, formerly an AFD, some commercial work (most notably for Subway sandwiches).
If either is undeleted, please copy and paste the text from any revision onto my sandbox. Mewtwowimmer (talk) 18:17, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
- Not done. Spider's Web: A Pig's Tale was deleted and salted under WP:CSD#G5 as an article by a sock of Bambifan101, a particularly pernicious long-term abuser. G5 is used where the community decides that the damage to the encyclopedia from letting the abuser think he can continue to contribute through sockpuppets outweighs any damage from deleting apparently good articles. I am therefore unwilling even to userfy this for you to work on; and in fact it would not be much help, because it is little more than a paragraph of rather childishly-written plot summary. The salting admin has retired, so what you should do is write a draft article in a user subpage and take it to WP:Deletion review, explaining the background, for permission to post it. Expect to be greeted with some suspicion, as Bambifan has a record of persuading others to edit on his behalf.
- Noelle North was deleted after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Noelle North so will also not be restored here. Its history is a mess of Scientology-related edit-warring and BLP violations; the article as deleted was only three lines. Once again, I think you would do better to start from a clean slate. Although this deleting administrator has also retired, the salting admin, user WilliamH (talk) is still active, so you could show him a draft to see if he will unsalt the title, or failing that go to DRV with this too. JohnCD (talk) 21:45, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
- I just saw the history of my userpage. A sock of Bambifan101 vandalized it during my indefinite block. It was on April 25, 2009. Mewtwowimmer (talk) 05:05, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
CFC-Youth For Christ
I would like to request the restoration of the "CFC - Youth For Christ" page on your website. It was originally deleted as an expired PROD by user:Peridon due to concerns of unimportance and general lack of notability. But this is not the case. CFC - Youth in short, is the youth "arm" of the larger group of Couples For Christ. Although the group was branched out from CFC, it has grown into to be a very independent ministry, evangelizing young adults all over the world. That is not an expression. The group is truly international and is even recognized by the Vatican itself. For more information, the website is here: http://cfcyouthforchrist.net/I would really like this page back up soon. Thank you for your time and Merry Christmas. -99.243.83.125 (talk) 19:01, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

I will notify user Roscelese (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 only reference does not appear to mention the subject: the criterion for having a Wikipedia article is called Wikipedia:Notability and requires references that show "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Sources need to be about the organization itself, not its parent. See also WP:42 and WP:Wikipedia is not here to tell the world about your noble cause. JohnCD (talk) 22:25, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

tussia
This page was deleted because it is a hoax. It is not something that the general public could ever take for fact because the contents are truly ridiculous. I created it as a joke between me and a friend, we had constructed, albeit crudely, an imaginary country which was a joke about her lineage. I decided that as a christmas present I would polish this idea and create a wikipedia article for her. I do not mind if it is deleted on the 26th December but the idea that wikipedia lacks a sense of humour, humility and justness to the extent that ON CHRISTMAS it should spoil the fun of two harmless friends for but such a short period of time is saddening. I hope that Wikipedia can find it in it's heart to reinstate this page for this short time so that my friend can actually see it or else it's going to have to be some form of knitwear for her replacement present. Not quite as memorable, I'm sure. Thank you for your consideration. Oliver Williams -Opwilliams357 (talk) 23:24, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Magdalenengarten
Two years ago I wrote a German article on an important sight of my home town, a baroque park called "Magdalenengarten". When I wrote an English summary of the article today I kept the original German name. I am the author of the original German article. The English text is not a literal or complete translation of the original German text. It is much shorter. I have already written several German summaries of English articles and vice versa. I also wrote several articles in English on various topics which do not have an equivalent in German. They were all corrected by native speakers. If necessary I can find an English name for the park, e.g. St. Magdalena's Garden. -Torbenbrinker (talk) 16:03, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Category:American track and field athletes

an undiscussed category rename to Category:American athletes at [1], which violates WP:ENGVAR, and a preexisting CFD discussion without establishing a new consensus. The category contents per WP:CFD procedures should not have been moved without a renaming discussion even without the older CFD.

- Tell me how this violates WP:ENGVAR? (✉→BWilkins←✎) 23:35, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
- Per American English M-W.com an athlete is a person skilled in sports, not a person who competes in track and field . "Athlete" is synonymous with sportsperson, not with track and field competitor. The usage followed by the undiscussed category rename which ignored an existing CFD, makes the category solely for use for track and field, and not the general use of the term as it exists in the United States (football), (all sports), (basketball), (baseball) , etc. As seen, "athlete" does not mean "track and field" as the category is currently used, instead it means all sports. The use of "athlete" to mean track and field only is not that of American English. -- 65.92.180.225 (talk) 00:42, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

The pre-existing Wikipedia page for Evan Williams (actor) should never have been taken down. This is a notable Canadian actor, who is constantly doing new work, and has a strong fanbase and following in the press.

Numerous press articles name him specifically, and he is the recipient of at least one award in his field.

Since the article you are here about was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jarnail Singh (journalist), 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 Phantomsteve (talk · contribs).

Disability - vehicle adaptations
reasoning -Dbridge276 (talk) 09:51, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi admins, I am new to Wikipedia editing & contributions so please excuse me if this is in wrong area.
Today I added a sub topic onto the disability pages titled "vehicle adaptations".
I contributed this as a father of a severely disabled son who drives a heavily adapted vehicle.
Maybe I put tidiness the wrong area and maybe it should be a new subject article units own right with a link on the disability page, I am not sure and would like some guidance from you guys.
Other edits on the page have remained e.g. Updating the EFD name and inclusion of a paragraph in disability hate crimes.
So I am looking for guidance on why the Veh adaptations part was cut so i can make the correct contribution to help those who need to know about adaptations.
Regards & happy we yer David

I am new to wIki and have never edited a page prior to this one. I work for mobileye and wanted to update the page as some of the info on it was old and wrong. when I was on teh page editor there was a notice message on the top which said that the page was lacking links to confirm the info, at least that's what I understood, and so I added links to the company youtube videos, I figured it was allowed as the page is about the company Mobileye. I then received a message stating that my page was going to be deleted as I infringed on WIKI laws and I proceeded to contact the administrator on his talk page, I tried my best to explain that it was an innocent ,mistake and I was not trying to do SEO of any sort. I just didn't want wrong information showing, taht was my main goal, the links I only added as a misunderstanding. I can see how it looks but that's the truth. I would very much appreciate it if the page was restored and I of-course wont add links like taht again.
Thank you.

- Not done Although this is a WP:PROD, there's more than one issue at play here, and I will not be undeleting this "article". First, due to conflict of interest, you should not be creating this article. Second, the article was wholly promotional - Wikipedia is not a business directory, it's an encyclopedia. Third, the business itself does not appear to be sufficiently notable for inclusion (✉→BWilkins←✎) 12:16, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

reasoning -109.64.232.56 (talk) 20:46, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Not sure if this is how I am supposed to reply to your answer? I understand your point, however:
1. this page was created a long time ago,not by me. I only tried to edit it, I don't understand how a page can be deleted based on one editors mistakes, when I am not even the creator of the article? if I had edited the page of a different company would you delete those as well? I mean no offence I really am trying to understand how it works. 2. the page was not meant as promotional, it was mostly facts about the company, just like many other pages I have seen, such as "Nike". I do agree that by adding links to our YouTube videos that may bee seen as promotional, but it was unintentional and done by me, not the original creator. 3. as far as the companies notability, it was founded in 1999 and is very well known in its industry. it may not be as popular as other companies but it is very well known in the collision avoidance industry. If you wish to revoke my personal editing rights , this I could understand , but ?I feel it is unjust to remove the whole page just because I didn't know what I was doing.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would take this to heart and return the article as you see fit. I will not edit it again.
Thank you
- Not done and will not be done Nobody said the article does not belong on Wikipedia simply because you edited it - it simply does not meet the criteria for notability. Suggesting that your company is even remotely as notable as Nike is rather disingenuous. If you disagree, you may take this to deletion review, but you will want to read WP:DELETE and other related policies first - the WP:COI one will be extremely important (✉→BWilkins←✎) 13:14, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply
I never said it was as notable as "Nike" , I said it was as notible in its own industry. if you go to Wiki search and write "mobileye", you will see for yourself many pages with our company mentioned on them, its a huge company... If I ahve to go through the other process I will, but I hope you will look and realize that Mobileye belongs on Wiki. Im not asking for much, just search for Mobileye in Wiki and if you still think the same, I will go try the other way you mentioned

- Not done - this article has not been restored because it does not appear to meet our guidelines for inclusion of articles concerning people. 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 people 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. Without further justification as to how this individual meets the notability requirements for athletes, this almost 2 year old PROD cannot be restored (✉→BWilkins←✎) 13:17, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Imagine my surprise to fin that it had not be missed but had been deleted. At first I thought there'd been a problem with the page move that had been done from the original page "Abney Park (Abney Park album)' since the page noted it was deleted as a redirect to an empty page, but instead someone did a PROD with no explanation as to why.

Hi there, Don't want to bother you all but, once again, it is just the biggest joke ever. The argumentation of the Administrator is amazingly empty.
=> "the encyclopedia's content, and consensus is gauged based on the merits of the arguments, not by counting votes. " First sentence of the argumentation : "The result was delete. Vote count here is 5 delete to 4 keep". "LOL".
=> Critieria which has been clearly shown and demonstrated have just been adapted to the administrator's view. Like the "against the page" did for a week.

Nine Kinds of Naked is the title of an upcoming novel by Tony Vigorito, to be released in Spring 2008. It will be the second novel by the author; his first was Just a Couple of Days. An excerpt of the book is available at the author's website
This was accompanied by a link to the website inline and then another link to the same website in an external links section.
