Abby Jan Dharamsey Undeletion
Sir/Madam
Here is the proof that I created the original copy and sent it to the website mentioned for publication on their website.
Forwarded Message ----
From: Abdulla Dharamsey <edited> To: Jon Davey <jon.davey@businessleadgeneration.co.uk> Sent: Sun, 25 April, 2010 3:57:34 Subject: WESTMINSTER NORTH CONSTITUENCY - INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE PROFILE
Hey Jon
Set out below is my profile that you could consider for publication on your website. I have also attached my Election Communication (it has my photographs in Western and Middle Eastern style!) of which 60,000 copies will be delivered by Royal Mail from Tuesday.
My website will be published on Wednesday (www.dharamsey.co.uk and www.dharamsey.info).
I am rather surprised that no Independent Candidate has taken up your splendid offer.
Kind regards
Abby -Ajdharamsey (talk) 20:44, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- Not done. I'm afraid you have misunderstood what Wikipedia is about - it is an encyclopedia, not an election notice-board or a vehicle for promotion of any kind. We do not offer to publish candidates' election manifestos; in fact, because of our requirement for a neutral point of view, people are strongly discouraged from writing about themselves. The convention, explained at WP:POLITICIAN, is that candidates' articles are redirected to the appropriate constituency article, and I have re-created your article as a redirect to Westminster North (UK Parliament constituency). Please do not add to that. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 09:31, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
TechExcel
I would like to add the TechExcel article so that readers know about TechExcel - the application lifecycle management and IT service management software provider. The contents of the article will look like the contents of the article Tech_Excel. I plan to delete the Tech_Excel article as soon as the TechExcel article is live. -Fjabbour (talk) 02:29, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
- Not done. The TechExcel article was deleted three times as a result of deletion discussions at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DevPlan, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/TechExcel, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/TechExcel Software, and the title has been protected from creation because it was re-created so often. I have returned your new version to your user space at User:Fjabbour/TechExcelDraft; if you want an article about this company, you should first approach user Ihcoyc (talk · contribs), the admin who closed the most recent AfD and protected the title; and if he does not agree you can take it to WP:Deletion review. Note that an article must not merely not read like advertising; it must also establish that the company is notable enough to have an encyclopedia article, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." I will add some helpful links on your talk page. JohnCD (talk) 10:58, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
SETI (The Kovenant album)
The Kovenant may be a little known band, but as long as they are considered notable themselves, it seems logical that their releases (at least the full-length albums) are just as notable as the band. An article on SETI was deleted on May 2, 2010, after a proposal on grounds of non-notability. -Uzyel (talk) 10:01, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
- Done. As a contested PROD, the article is restored on request. I have notifed user 92.11.105.66 (talk · contribs), who PRODded it on grounds of "notability", in case s/he wishes to nominate it at AfD. It does not follow that every album from a notable band is also notable - see WP:Notability (music) and in particular WP:NALBUMS. You may like to consider adding sources to help establish notability and to comply with the verifiability requirement. JohnCD (talk) 13:13, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
Ghum Gham Tours & travel
please do not delete the page i will modify the content as per the rules -124.41.239.164 (talk) 10:15, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Gregg_Distributors
This article was deleted for failing to establish notability. I would like for it to be undeleted and possibly put back in sandbox mode so that I may append to it the grounds for notability and be reviewed again afterward. thanks! -Distributer1 (talk) 15:56, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
- Done - the page has been restored to your userspace at User:Distributer1/Gregg Distributors. --Tikiwont (talk) 07:37, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
Classixx - (2)
The website had been edited. The musical duo's career is valid with credible websites of record labels, valid label websites and an artist page. Interview websites are also added and websites where the discography is credible is shown. Please reconsider because the references are edited and every fact is accounted for. I believe the article is in threat of being deleted because every sentence was not referenced. -Cjpark30 (talk) 19:28, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
- This page is only for requesting undeletion of deleted pages. You should make your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Classixx; the debate has still several days to run. JohnCD (talk) 19:38, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
- edited the page with appropiate internal and external links. non-personal websites are listed as references. -Cjpark30 (talk) 22:26, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
- See above. Please weigh in at the debate listed above as the original refund request here has been granted and is closed.--Tikiwont (talk) 07:23, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

File:ScarboroughPylons.jpg
I transfered that file in the past onto Commons (at the begining 2006, when I was still a baby here), but with a reduced resolution (see commons:File:450px-ScarboroughPylons.jpg). It after has been deleted here under WP:CSD F8 (probably my fault). I completly forgot that till today. Now I would like to upload the full resolution original image to Commons. Could you restore it? I will do everything on the Commons side so that it replaces the lowest resolution version (if applicable, I don't remember), with the correct original upload log and description. For that I need that you accept to restore this image during the time necessary for me to cleanup all that or that you do it yourself, but I'm not asking for that. -GaAs (d) 16:37, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
- Done--Tikiwont (talk) 12:10, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
Michael James Arman Brough
this composer is continuing to produce valuable work which is finding an increasing audience in the UK, in Europe and in North America; and there seems no particular reason to remove the information in the article making it unavailable if it is of use to musicians who might want to search. -Hintersatz (talk) 09:06, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
- Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request.--Tikiwont (talk) 12:15, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Sam Gyimah
I wanted to create a page for this person as he was elected MP yesterday for Surrey East but I saw it had already been deleted and I didn't want to be blocked for recreating a deleted page. This is sourced in http://www.thisissussex.co.uk/eastgrinstead/news/Conservative-victory-East-Surrey/article-2128952-detail/article.html and http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/election2010/results/constituency/b53.stm . May I recreate the page, or should a sysop do that? --Quentin Smith 12:04, 7 May 2010 (UTC) -Quentin Smith 12:04, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
- Just go ahead. The old page had virtually no content and heaven forbid that someone blocks without warning for a good faith (re)creation of a notable topic.--Tikiwont (talk) 12:38, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
Arslan Mahmood
its about my own self -Samnok896 (talk) 19:20, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
- Not done The page Arskan Mahmood has never existed in the English Wikipedia, as far as I can see. However, if you meant Arslan Mahmood, you might want to read WP:COI to see why writing an article about yourself is a really, really bad idea.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:53, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

If you have already done so, your concerns can be taken to deletion review.
- And since the closing admin has weighed in here, it seems you have two viable options. You can make a new properly sourced draft at User:Biswaranjan.das/Paramahansa Srimat Swami Nigamananda Saraswati Dev, showing sources that meet the objections raised at the original AfD, or you can take it to deletion review. I'd strongly suggest the first course, because deletion review will ask you for that information anyways.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 18:33, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- Also, please don't continue to submit requests here. You'll get the same answer every time, and you'll only annoy the volunteers here.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 18:34, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

When Volunteers with limited knowledge make decisions they are bound to waste time of every one. The admin here "Cirt" is kind of irresponsible. We are not begging here to undelete, we are demanding "just undelete it" and I want to see it done with this request.
When contacted to admin the reason given here was sharing of accounts. When asked again no response and on the 2nd request there are two more violations listed Can you please list all your violations at once, Or you think as you go? --Biswaranjan.das (talk) 14:24, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
- Not done. This board is not a place to 'demand' anything' but merely a place for uncontroversial deletions and as a result of an AfD this by definition is not uncontroversial considering also Cirt's objection. The way forward is exactly the one outlined by Fabrictramp above. Start from a list of reliable sources that are not connected to your community, write a userspace draft based on them and bring it to deletion review because that is the place where we could correct it if necessary. --Tikiwont (talk) 14:32, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
- Example of reliable source? -Biswaranjan.das (talk) 14:39, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

It was incorrectly deleted as unused fair-use media within a few minutes of becoming unused. Currently there's a discussion regarding the image, but until it's finished it should not be deleted. -MrStalker (talk) 23:27, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

- Sorry, I tried to handle this earlier but due to an edit conflict it didn't post (see below). Cheers, Arbitrarily0 (talk) 23:30, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
- Not done - if consensus is gained to use the image in Beyond Good & Evil (video game), then the image may assuredly be restored. Since the image is not currently used however, restoring it at the present time would again subject it to the same deletion criteria. Best regards, Arbitrarily0 (talk) 23:30, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
- I understand, but it doesn't seem right to me that an admin uses his tools to delete the image, ignoring the 7 day holding time, without checking for consensus. The cover was used for 3 years without any objections, then just *poof*. --MrStalker (talk) 23:51, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

- Not done. There are two issues here: every article needs references to confirm what it says - see verifiability - and that is the reason for the first notice on your talk page. But the reason the article was deleted is that it doesn't seem that he (yet) meets Wikipedia's notability standard for athletes - see WP:ATHLETE and for Australian Rules football WP:NSPORT#Australian Rules Football. The article says he is "a viable option to debut in the AFL late in the season" - once he has actually played in the AFL he can have an article.

I am not sure why this article was deleted, but the article has great significance, because this individual wrote an article in the Howard University's student newspaper and the paper was voted #1 by Princeton Review in 2004 and became the first HBCU newspaper published daily. This information that alot of people can use. Please undelete this page. -Castorandpolluxtroi (talk) 10:12, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- Not done. It is not enough to be 100% accurate; as regards notability, all the article says is that she is the daughter of a former mayor of LA (but notability is not inherited) and that she has published an article in a student newspaper. Sorry, but this is nowhere near notability by Wikipedia's standards, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."

It's a good reference for all who want to know or just get familiar with the DC Universe, even if the timeline presents variations or inconsistencies.

- Not done This was originally deleted as a result of the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fictional history of the DC Universe. The article was subsiquently userfied as a result of a request here in October, 2009. It's currently at User:AdamBMorgan/Fictional history of the DC Universe; however, that user has not worked on it for 6 months.

Ashley Woolard
This article, from my understanding, was deleted because I did not include why it belongs in an encyclopedia. I feel it belongs there because the incumbent Congressman, G.K. Butterfield, has a page on Wikipedia. I feel it only fair that his opponent should also have a page. The fact that this was deleted in less than an hour, before I had a chance to make my case, make it seem to me that Wikipedia is simply biased against Republican candidates. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pantherfan719 (talk • contribs)

Satu Musikk
This was a article about a Norwegian record label that is releasing major European Jazz musicians that record on some of the worlds biggest jazz labels like ECM records. I can not see why it should be deleted, this is worthy of wiki most definitely -Hrothrekr (talk) 06:42, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
In addition to previous comments about the validity of this page, it also did not conform to (A7: Article about a band, singer, musician, or musical ensemble, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject) rules for deletion as it is not a band or musician but a publisher of music. This is an important example not only of how some of Europes best jazz musicians publish, but also of the changing face of improvised music publishing from minor labels to independent musician collectives. Please reinstate this page, it is valid. -Hrothrekr (talk) 07:06, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
- Not done. Companies and record labels also have to meet Wikipedia's requirement of notability by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." This seems to be a new label which has only released one record; the only reference was to their own website. It is unlikely that a new label will (yet) qualify for an entry; but if, after reading the guidelines WP:Notability and WP:Notability (organizations and companies) you think you can show sufficent independent references, ask here or on my talk page and I will userfy the article to a user subpage for you to work on.

Isadora (software)
Requesting that the "Isadora (software)" page to be undeleted.
Here are some of the reasons Isadora is a notable software tool and why it should be restored to Wikipedia.
- First, Isadora has won two important awards. A prize at Ars Electronica (Honorary Mention, Interactive Arts, 2004) and an "Eddy" Award from Live Design Magazine in 2005
- References to its use in the New York Times (e.g., this article as well as this one
- References to Isadora in numerous scholarly articles (e.g. Digital Performance by Steve Dixon or “Isadora: an interview with artist/ programmer Mark Coniglio”. in International Journal of Performance and Digital Media. Vol 1, No 1. pp. 31-46.)
- References in articles for technical theater designers and on web pages for creators of interactive performance (e.g., http://greatdance.com/danceblog/archives/interactive_performances/000463.php and http://beta.vjcentral.com/software/troika-tronix-isadora)
- Isadora is used by notable artists, such as the Wooster Group, for the recent piece "Hamlet" (see program giving credit to Isadora here) and "La Didone", and electronic music pioneer Mort Subotnick -- see http://issueprojectroom.org/2009/06/
For all of these reasons, I would respectfully request that the Wikipedia page for Isadora (software) be restored. -Mconiglio (talk) 08:30, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
- Done - as a contested PROD, the article is restored on request; but I will notify user Miami33139 (talk · contribs) who proposed it for deletion, in case he wishes to consider nominating it at Articles for deletion.

So I was doing lots of saves. I inserted a HANGON tag.
Yet in spite of the HANGON tage, someone deleted the text I was working on. Please restore it somewhere - if needed in a sandbox - so I can write it in a way that conforms with Wikipedia's policies and provide evidence that the professional association has sufficient notability to be listed

- The article in question was deleted under our criteria for speedy deletion (A7) because you did not state in the article why the subject is important or significant.

However, in this case the admin in question, user:Alexf is on wikibreak so you can go to the next step and request a deletion review. Another option is to recreate the article and make sure you state why the subject is important. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:48, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Then I go to upload a picture, and some person deleted my page, and they said it wasn't specific! Well, of course it wasn't specific, it wasn't even finished! This isn't fair. I wasted my whole morning for nothing. I checked, and h the person had wrongfully speed deleted it. The band already has an album, have been around for more than a year, and pass many things under(I think it is) A7. I wrote one sentence, made aaa sidebar, and saved it so i could add a pic. I didn't get a chance to write much. I didn't get any time either! -Shark king 727 (talk) 11:24, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'm sorry that your first experience here is getting your article deleted. The actual deletion was carried out by User:NawlinWiki because in the text of the article you didn't say why the band was "important or significant" and under our "criteria for speedy deletion", such articles can be deleted without discussion. If you disagree with this then the first step is to discuss the issue with NawlinWiki and after that if you still disagree you can have his decision reviewed. However, the article is still in the Google cache and from reading it I have to agree that he made the right call. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 11:40, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Folding Plug
I am not the originator of this page, but responded to the published reqest to expand on a stub. The stub related to a single design of a UK folding plug which its designer has called "Folding Plug", it misled by implying that this was something new and unique. There has been much hype about Min-Kyu Choi's "Folding Plug" which has won several major design awards despite the fact that it is designed in a way which makes it ilegal to offer it for sale. I believe that it is important to tell the truth about this, and also to place Min-Kyu Choi's work in the context of the two other designs which hold precedence, one of which has already been approved for sale. My work on the article was in support of this conviction and I fail to understand why censorship has been imposed! The links to the (only) three companies engaged in this market were provided as verification of the facts, and to provide access to the relevant illustrations and demonstrations which are essential to understanding the issue. (I am unaware of any illustrations in the public domain.) I have absolutely no commercial interest in this, but I do have a strong interest in upholding the regulations which ensure that plugs and sockets made to British Standard 1363 , the safest in the world, have been preventing the deaths of small children for over 60 years. -Deucharman (talk) 21:01, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
- It looks like this information, written in a more neutral manner, belongs under BS 1363 rather than in an article of its own. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:22, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

- Done After discussion with AGK I've restored it. I left an advert tag, because obviously it looks to some other editors as such but hopefully this can solved by editing or at worst reverting to the previous stub, and the merge idea needs further evaluation as well.--Tikiwont (talk) 23:10, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

FastReport
I wrote the article "FastReport" myself. And to my big surprise I found that it was deleted several times. When I wrote at first, someone deleted it and said it doesnt qualify to be in wiki. I redid the work and submitted again and someone else deleted and said it was an advert and gave me a list of articles from which I can get an idea on how to write a good article.I did that, and "Happily" again someone deleted and said it was an advert, but that was after I had written that am still editing the article, and it wasnt an advert like he said.I know a lot of adverts in wiki which I can point to, but they arent deleted.The article was deleted on an unknown reason to me. So that was lacking good judgement on the part of those who deleted. So I rewrote the article and want to submit it again, is it possible to have it done ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by HERBERT43 (talk • contribs) 1:17, 18 May 2010
- The article was deleted as a result of a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/FastReport and has been protected from creation because it was re-created again after that. Your best course would be to prepare a draft in your user space at User:HERBERT43/FastReport, make sure that it demonstrates notability by citing independent reliable sources, and then approach user Peter (talk · contribs), the administrator who protected it, for permission to post it. If he does not agree, you can take it to WP:Deletion review. JohnCD (talk) 11:45, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
- Note that if an existing article is clearly an advertisement, all you have to do is to tag it with {{db-spam}} and an admin will be along soon to examine it and (if you are correct) delete it, or nominate it for possible deletion discussion as FastReport was nominated. Such nominations, if done in good faith, are welcome. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:46, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Orchard Towers
Long-standing article summarily nuked under CSD A7 (No indication of importance) despite in-article references attesting to importance. When questioned by several users including myself, deleting admin simply repeated his claim that the article does not "assert" notability [1] and, when presented with evidence to the contrary, refused to reply. [2] -Jpatokal (talk) 22:28, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
- In this particular case (having already been discussed with the deleting administrator), you might consider seeking a deletion review. Otherwise, consider asking the deleting administrator for userfication of the page, in order to try to improve the subject's assertion of notability. Regards, Arbitrarily0 (talk) 03:10, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
- No, I'm not going to accept that as an answer. If an admin can delete a viable article at a whim with one click, then it should be possible to undo his whim with one click, and that's exactly what DRV says: For articles deleted via proposed deletion, post a request at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion. Jpatokal (talk) 10:22, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
- Also, A7 was an invalid criterion in the first place: This criterion applies only to articles about web content and to articles about people, organizations, and individual animals themselves, not to articles about their books, albums, software, or other creative works, and we're talking about a honking big building on Singapore's main drag here. Jpatokal (talk) 10:25, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
