Data Integrity Field
Page is referenced from several articles on computer data integrity, and the "DIF" disambiguation page. -LustreOne (talk) 09:02, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. Page needs work, though, to stay in the log run. --Tikiwont (talk) 09:18, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
Booker Gliding Centre
I'm not sure why this particular article was not notable and speedy deleted but the other 16 club pages visible via British Gliding Association seem to have remained. I am happy to get hold of BGA membership / movement figures to prove that the subject of this article is one of the larger ones in the country, but would appreciate knowing what makes something notable and worthy of its own article - for example, top 5, top 10, etc ? There are 85 clubs in total. Or should the other 16 club articles be speedy deleted also? -Lariso (talk) 13:09, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- Not done WP:Notability is not a matter of "top 10" but of showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." See also WP:CORP, WP:BFAQ, WP:42. You can probably do that for Booker, so I have userfied the article for you to User:Lariso/Booker Gliding Centre where you can work on it. We know that there are many articles that do not meet current standards, and for that reason "If you delete this you will have to delete all those, too!" is not an argument that is accepted.

This CD can be found on amazon and other shopping places online. It is a compilation of previous hits. Please undelete. -199.184.202.16 (talk) 20:14, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- Done – as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored upon request. But being a compilation and being on Amazon isn't enough for a Wikipedia article; unless you can add references that show significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources, see also WP:NALBUMS, it may be nominated at WP:Articles for deletion.

This is a Japan exclusive Boyz II Men CD only released there. This page needs to show what BIIM have done with their music over seas. -199.184.202.16 (talk) 20:18, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

belief of -page in deletion in error -Androgirl101 (talk) 01:48, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
I believe this page was deleted in error. I have stated all the sources that this information comes from. I'm a member of Still Fierce and have the consent of all Still Fierce members to post this article as well as the express written consent of Tracie 'O' Keefe, the head of SAGE (Sex And Gender Education) Australia. We have only stated facts. There is no defamation or hostilitiy in this entry towards anyone living or otherwise. Why has this been deleted? We are all very unhappy about this page being deleted, myself especially as I spent an hour putting it together. Did I use a wrong format or something like that? If you could please tell me what the issue is, i will try my best to rectify the situation to comply with your terms.
Thanks,
-Tabitha-
- Not done - it was deleted as both original research and an advertisement intended to advertise an obscure neologism. I would add that it was also strongly violative of our neutral point of view rules. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:47, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
MigreLief
I wish to rewrite and edit a couple of sources. It was my fisrt attempt at a Wikipedia article and it took me awhile to learn the ropes. I believe I can add and delete content without wiping out the whole article which was informative. The reason it was deleted was for "veiled advertising" It is unquestionably notable and encyclopedia worthy. I am hoping I don't have to start from scratch with the uploading of images and the whole works. I am hoping it can be moved back to my userspace for editing. I will have admin review before resubmitting to the mainspace of course.Silsal (talk) 08:20, 24 February 2011 (UTC) -Silsal (talk) 08:20, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
- Done. I have "userfied" the article for you to User:Sallybass/MigreLief. As it was deleted after a deletion discussion at WP:Articles for deletion/MigreLief, when you have worked on it you should first approach user Cirt (talk), the admin who closed the deletion discussion; if he does not agree, you can take it to WP:Deletion review. I have to say that, having read the article and the AfD discussion, I think there is little chance of an acceptable article here: quite apart from reading like a manufacturer's brochure, to demonstrate notability would require showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject," and one of the contributors to the AfD said he had failed to find any reference using the name of the product which did not come from the company.

Shareable SG2 (Fire Control) Software Suite (S4)
please change it to Userfied -Firepower Canada (talk) 17:34, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
I would like the page to be Userfied so I can continue to work on it. I was about to link this as a computer library stub as that may be a better root for the article. I do not understand enough to refute the Notable nature of the requirements for an article. I don't see how something with published research through recognized scientific forums being actively maintained, used, and integrated be non Notable? The fact that I hadn't yet tied into secondary sources and had only presented a subset of the information. This is my initial authoring and I was maybe 10% into it.
The software is broadly used and integrated in a wide variety of military systems (50+) across lots of NATO countries and forms the implementation of a STANAG and is designed for wide software reuse. I was anticipating entries describing this in the article with new conributions in Fire-control system, Artillery, etc. to move this far away from promotion and contribute to the encyclopedic nature of a variety of topics.
- Done. Moved to User:Firepower Canada/Shareable SG2 (Fire Control) Software Suite (S4). Protonk (talk) 19:12, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

fwix
I submitted a request for undeleted last week, and I received a response but apparently the admin needs to weigh in. Iinstead of repeating the request again, here is the archive of the request for undeletion and thread: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion/Archive_31#Fwix . Are there any updates from the admin? Thanks. -75.101.56.216 (talk) 00:30, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- Not done The "article" which was deleted (written by a now-blocked account called "Fwixteam") was a blatant advertisement. I would advise anybody who doesn't work for the firm, and who feels that Fwix is actually notable enough to merit an article about them, to create a new one from scratch, taking into account our rules about conflict of interest, advertising efforts in Wikipedia, impartiality, and verifiability. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:32, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Actually, I think it's this one he wants back.
I,m sorry but this was deleted under A7. You'll have to discuss this with the deleting admin. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 14:40, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
hostopia
I understand that the there were phrases in the article that appeared to be promoting the company. This will be addressed. It was meant to be a factual article but may have appeared to promote by accident. Please undelete so that I can edit any potential language that appears to promote it. It was modeled after another company called Tucows and used similar language. My apologies for the mistake -Edgevaderpro (talk) 15:25, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- Not done - this page was deleted in accordance with criterion for speedy deletion G11. If you believe that this decision was found in error, or that significant new information has come to light since the deletion, please contact the administrator who implemented the deletion request, user JzG (talk · contribs). If you have already done so, your concerns can be taken to deletion review. As the article appears to pass our notability guidelines for corporations with flying colors, if you would like, I could restore it to your userspace, where you can work on it to make it less of an advertisement and to add reliable sources. But to restore it straight to article space would require either the deleting admin's permission or deletion review. --B (talk) 16:55, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- There is an underlying version deleted as proposed deletion, though. --Tikiwont (talk) 17:29, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- True, but it's less useful of a version than the one JzG speedied. If you want to restore it, don't let me stop you. There's no unilateral veto power here. --B (talk) 20:29, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- I'd leave that choice (working on a good userspace draft or restoring the earlier previous version directly) up to Edgevaderpro and consider a merge into Deluxe Corporation as well. --Tikiwont (talk) 21:00, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Music & Opera Singers Trust
No opportunity to update. Page removed overnight -S1nealeg (talk) 20:14, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- Not done - this article has not been restored because it does not appear to meet our guidelines for inclusion of articles concerning companies. 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. If you believe that this decision was found in error, or that significant new information has come to light since the deletion, please contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user JamesBWatson (talk · contribs). If you have already done so, your concerns can be taken to deletion review. --B (talk) 20:33, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

reasoning -chinggism (talk) 20:59, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
Duke University Press and Professor Celine Shimizu have spoken to the contrary with regards to the significance of Jean Marc Roc and Asiaerotica/FarEast Video within it's genere. UCSB professor of Asian Film and woman's studies C Shimizu choose Jean Marc out of the thousands of wanna be porn pro's devoting a chapter in her noted "scholarly " book "The Hypersexuality of Race" to Jean Marc Roc and Asiaerotica and noted Australian director Dennis O'Rourke. Name me porn "notables" in your and your so called "publics's opnion that have achieved that level of recognition in a definitively scholarly work on the subject matter. Because of the notability of the book and the length of discussion given to Jean Marc Roc and Asiaerotica/Far East Video. I believe that your deletion of this notable a figure in the Adult video world deserves to be revised.
- Not done. The article was deleted after a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Asiaerotica.com so, as stated at the top of this page, it cannot be restored here. If you think the debate was wrongly decided, or you have new information, you should approach user Mailer Diablo (talk), the administrator who closed the discussion. Then, if you are not satisfied, you can take it to WP:Deletion review. JohnCD (talk) 21:33, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Ephesoft
this is an information page about open source product. similar to Alfresco Software page -Ike.kavas (talk) 05:17, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- I can't unilaterally overturn the deletion, but I'll leave a note with the deleting admin. Looking at the page briefly I think there may be some notability and tone problems, but it doesn't meet our threshold for blatant advertisement. Protonk (talk) 18:42, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- It's "an information page about an open source product" which has a complete and total lack of any reliable source references to demonstrate that the product is actually notable. A Wikipedia article is not something that any topic is entitled to just because you can demonstrate that it exists, and the fact that other stuff exists is not a valid reason to ignore Wikipedia's content policies. (I'd probably have deleted the Alfresco Software article, too, if that had been the one I came across on the uncategorized articles page — but it wasn't.) Further, the article's original creator (who is also the requester here) has identified himself on my talk page as being an executive with the company — thereby also violating Wikipedia's conflict of interest rules. Advertising isn't just a matter of whether the writing tone is breathlessly commercialized or not; if a company writes and posts an article about itself, without a single reliable media reference to demonstrate that it's been independently recognized as notable by any sources outside of its own marketing department, then that still falls quite comfortably within the definition of advertising — because even if the writing tone isn't completely over the top, the core intent was still to publicize the company and its products. Bearcat (talk) 20:20, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- I don't mean to be rude, but those sound like concerns that can be addressed/contested at AfD. The criteria to summarily delete an article as blatant advertisement is as follows "Pages that are exclusively promotional, and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic. Note that simply having a company or product as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion." If this is not the case than the appropriate route is PROD or AFD. Protonk (talk) 21:46, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- And I disagree that the article, as written, failed to meet that criterion: Promotional? Check. Would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic? Check. So where are we, then, if not at an impasse? I'd be perfectly happy to restore the page as a userspace sandbox so that it can be improved — but if you're expecting me to change my mind and conclude that the page never met the speedy criterion in the first place, that part's not going to happen. Bearcat (talk) 22:28, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- Well what I wanted to do was articulate that I disagreed with the speedy and have you comment here as to whether or not you would reverse it. Where we go from here is up to the editor bringing this request up. Protonk (talk) 22:48, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Tarique Mustafa
I do not agree with the reason that you delete this page. I tried to post this articles 3 times. I am not a spammer. I am just Computer Engineer student at SJSU and this is my master project about Data Leak Prevention. While doing some researches about the current market, I found out this person, Tarique Mustafa and his company. I have already had a chance to contact and meet him in person for an interview. And this is what I have from that interview. So I have some questions about your notable persons. Who are they? They are some persons that have contributed their works and got some awards, aren't they. if so, this is one of them. This is my first time of using Wikipedia, so I probably do not have enough experience about it. Would you help me to keep my articles from not being deleted? -Heomap1983 (talk) 21:59, 28 February 2011 (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/Tarique Mustafa, 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. After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review. Protonk (talk) 22:13, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Temple Seeker
Temple Seeker was deleted under A7, but i don't understand why? Because A7 is supposedly for web contents articles, but Temple Seeker is an actual mobile game software that exists in real world not only in websites. I have read the A7 carefully and it said that "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." So please give me a reason why it is considered as a web content when it is not? And please un-delete Temple Seeker -Netm (talk) 03:50, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
- Have you tried bringing it up with the administrator that deleted the article, RHaworth? You have a valid point however as a rule we don't restore A7's here because we only do "uncontroversial" undeletions. I know it seems like an unnecessary bureaucratic step, however you should try talking to RHaworth about it. If he refuses to restore the page, you can always open a deletion review. l'aquatique[talk] 19:24, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

- That log actually says "not widely used", which is very different. In any case, I want the template due to uploading a file using it, and because, with FS coming to the en-wiki mainpage, the license used by a large number of our Featured sounds needs to be supported here, since we need to keep a local copy while it's on the mainpage.

- Not done WP:PROMO, WP:COI, WP:CORP - even if an WP:OTRS ticket was submitted and accepted, this article fails the rest (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 00:29, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
- (e/c) The fact that you assert you have permission to use the material is not enough to avoid deletion for two reasons. First, we can't simply take an anonymous person's assertion that they have authority over a copyright. You would need to show us that authority in a verifiable way. Second, we cannot use copyrighted content by permission to use. Instead the copyright holder either has to release the material into the public domain or under a free copyright license compatible with Wikipedia's. This is because our content is not just to be read but is licensed for reuse by our readers. Information on how to deal with these matters is given at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.On to additional matters.
Material on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view, using neutral language and giving proper proper weight to both positive and negative aspects of a topic. You, being paid to write a piece, are at the extreme end of those with a conflict of interest in posting material; not only are you incapable of writing neutrally (as can be seen from reviewing the panegyric you posted), but are beholden, for remuneration, to not write neutrally and in that regard, the article was not deleted for copyright infringement (though that was another reason to do so), it was deleted under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion as an article that was blatantly promotional. No article "mirroring the information presented on the company's website" is going to last for more than a few minutes on Wikipedia.
If it was up to me, all paid advertisers writing articles would be blocked on sight but the community has taken a middle ground, viewing you with the extreme suspicion and hot-potato caution you deserve. I follow that, albeit grudgingly. However, I was going to block your account indefinitely for another reason. You reveal yourself by your post to not be a single person but a role account, which is not allowed; another user, however, has already blocked your account.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 00:38, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Noor Aftab
I believe that Wikipedia is a great resource for people across the world to get first hand accurate information on topics they need to know about. Noor Aftab is one of the most inspiring and dynamic women leaders of the East and she has accomplishments to back that. From the University of Curtin, with 189th international ranking the manager student affairs wrote to her "You are indeed an inspiration for business women world over". During the worst floods of 2010 in Pakistan that left 1/5th of the country under water her relief work got her international coverage and a organization none less than the stature of BBC covered her work as one of the women from Islamabad who put her life on hold to reach the flood victims. In addition her work is covered by Martha Vineyard times. Gavin Neath, the VP Global Communications of Uni lever wrote to Noor "I wish you every success in your fund raising efforts". Noor has been nominated for Mary Robinson award for her humanitarian work.
When she was 25, Noor managed a portfolio of $49.6 Billion. She managed Pakistan's largest conglomerate, Fauji Foundation's 18 businesses and was heading investments at a commercial bank in Pakistan. She was the co-chair of Pakistan Banker's association on SME & Microfinance. For a country like Pakistan faced with terrorism, floods and inflation, here is a brilliant young lady creating a micro finance revolution and working endlessly as Ambassador for Women Development, she has been invited to Abraaj at Celebration of Entreprenuership with 1200 participants to showcase her work in Nov, 2010. In December 2010, she was invited to a meeting of International Experts on Micro finance by C5, the european think tank to talk on women based micro financing. Noor's organization, Shahina Aftab Foundation (SAF) became the only organization in the Pakistan to be invited to the event. She is invited to US Microfinance Congress in May 2011 to talk on political risks in Micro financing and in Geneva with the Head of the Pakistan Stock Market, to talk on future of Microfinancing. For a lady whose work has been covered by local and international media whose proper links, sources are all provided and who the world is recognizing is not getting a chance at Wikipedia. I believe Wiki is not one to discriminate against race, gender or country of origin. And I am baffled why someone would delete the page? We are living in a tolerent world where everyone gets a chance. I request Wiki to investigate into this and give Noor's page back. All sources and resources were attached. And could be verified by a single google search. A speedy action on your end would give hope to hundreds of thousands of women across the globe. Wishing an amazing day to you and enormous success to Wiki -Raana.rizwan (talk) 05:39, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Then, during the AFD, it was hijacked and completely rewritten to be about someone else - a female investment banker. In due course, at the end of the AfD, it was deleted. I have told Ron, as deleting admin, what happened and he has restored the new article. JohnCD (talk) 16:37, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

- Consider me trouted. I didn't look at the article closely enough. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:37, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
- No, trouting Ron is unfair because, whether by carelessness or intent to deceive, the edit which totally rewrote the article to be about a different person had as edit summary: "(Put in links, added dates and work experience!)" A deleting admin is not required to examine every revision in the history. JohnCD (talk) 17:37, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Not done - this article has not been restored because it does not appear to meet our guidelines for inclusion of articles concerning companies. 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. - Vianello (Talk) 00:09, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Sussex_Airshow
This is article was deleted due to not having any links. I know there were links from the various performers and planes. They must have been edited out by others. It is relevant to the Sussex Airport in NJ so a link from there would be appropriate as well. -Doug14 (talk) 23:52, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
- Not done It was deleted for failing to have third party reliable sources for almost 4 years. The only external links were basically youtube videos, which are not permitted. There were a lot of links to performers and aircraft, but no reliable proof that they were ever at subject airshow. I also failed to see how the airshow itself was notable, other than for some minor fraud issues. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 00:27, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

- Done – as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored upon request. I will notify user Bennydigital (talk), who proposed it, in case he wishes to nominate it at Articles for deletion. The reason for proposing deletion was "No notable sources- brief search only brought up credits or their own website. Reads more like a CV than any notable content", and what the article needs most is references to show significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. More advice on your talk page soon. JohnCD (talk) 18:28, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

The IDPPPA (S.3728)
Hi!
Would you consider reactivating the IDPPPA wiki page? It really is a more important bill than the wiki page made it out to be. 1. It is a hot topic of discussion/debate and articles are written posted about it everyday. The IDPPPA is a huge issue in the fashion industry and the field of intellectual property law and it is important to have a neutral open source of information about it. 2. It made substantial changes from previous drafts of the bill. 3. It made it further in the process than any previous bill. 4. It had support from long time opponents (unlike the previous versions). 5. The next bill introduced is likely to be substantially similar to the language of the IDPPPA so it is important to have a point of reference.
I can update the page substantially to reflect its importance and relevancy and add needed citations. -Oddlymanic (talk) 17:09, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
- What is the exact title of the page you are asking about? We have never had an article IDPPPA or IDPPPA (s.3728) or any of the variations on that I have tried. Nor do I see anything like it among your deleted contributions. If you don't know the exact title, do you know the username of the account that submitted it? JohnCD (talk) 18:01, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
So sorry. It is The IDPPPA (S.3728). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_IDPPPA_(S.3728) Oddlymanic (talk) 18:35, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
- Not done That was deleted after a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The IDPPPA (S.3728), so it can't be restored here. If you think the discussion was wrongly decided, or you have new information, you should approach user Black Kite (talk), the administrator who closed the discussion. If he does not agree, you can go to WP:Deletion review. JohnCD (talk) 18:41, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

this article has historical value to the State of Ohio's Military History and should be stored on wikipedia for future reseach and reading.

- Not done You have posted a request here about 3 times now. Each time you have been told that we will not summarily restore the article because it was speedily deleted. If the administrator has not responded to your request then you can make a post at deletion review and request the article be restored there. You can respond here but if you continue to re-post your request it will be reverted without comment. Protonk (talk) 20:28, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

why was it deleted ? many thanks guy
- Not done The page Across the Rhine was set up as a redirect to 1944: Across the Rhine, and then two minutes later it was blanked by the user who created it, so it was deleted. There wasn't, and never has been, an article at "1944: Across the Rhine." So, sorry, it looks as though we have never had an article about this game. JohnCD (talk) 22:18, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, my mistake I saved the page before adding a source. And after adding my sources, I got the message that the page was up for deletion. -Lolzbirdz (talk) 00:26, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
- Not done. Although the page had a BLPprod notice saying that it would be deleted in ten days unless sources were added, the actual reason for speedy deletion was WP:CSD#A7: a page that "does not indicate why its subject is important or significant." If you want it restored, you should approach user OrangeMike (talk), the administrator who deleted it, but I have to say that this young man's career (internet videos, internet raps, working on a CD) does not seem (yet) to be anywhere near the level required for a Wikipedia article. I will give you links to some guidelines on your talk page. JohnCD (talk) 11:05, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
Delmark Records
A label that exists since 1953 and has since released hundreds of records (Lps and CDs, DVDs) of notable blues and jazz artists just cannot lack 'notability', but rather the article lacks proof of notability - I'm willing to add what maybe has to be added to prove its notability ! -StefanWirz (talk) 10:33, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
- Done – as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored upon request. I will notify user Rhokel Smith (talk), who proposed it, in case he wishes to consider nominating it at WP:Articles for deletion. See WP:CORP for what is required to show notability.

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 Scott MacDonald (talk · contribs).

Alejandro Alcondez
Hi I started the article about 3 years ago, trying to meet wikipedia guidelines as best I could I'm requesting the article about Actor Alejandro Alcondez to be undeleted, originaly it was taken down because of notability issues User talk:Cgomez007 and the outcome Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alejandro Alcondez, I'm requesting the article be admited as a wikipedia article, I have seen plenty of information about this actor on the web, I managed to include plenty of third party references to support notability. Here's the work in progress article I request be added: My user page, I thank you for your time. -Cgomez007 (talk) 10:31, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
- Not done - Since the article you are here about was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alejandro Alcondez (2nd nomination), it cannot be undeleted through this process which is intended for uncontroversial restorations. As 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 want to bring your draft to deletion review, noting that the the administrator who closed the discussion, user MBisanz (talk · contribs), isn't currently active . --Tikiwont (talk) 16:34, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

This page has existed on Wikipedia for some years and it's never been a problem up until now. The subject is referenced as a "notable alumni" of Harlow College along with Piers Morgan and Mark Knopfler. Also articles written by Gareth Herincx when working at BBC News Online are listed as "references" on pages including The World Is Not Enough Bond film and the US actress Denise Richards. Finally, he's also mentioned as the launch editor of a national games magazine, Zero. He's now the New Media Editor of ITV Breakfast. -79.66.215.157 (talk) 15:05, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
- Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. Nevertheless, the problems of the page, namely it being an unreferenced biography of a living person of unclear notability have been indicated for over a year and unless they are addressed soon, the page will likely be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. --Tikiwont (talk) 17:04, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

The Writers' Collective
This page was apparently deleted because it was advertising, which is was not; there is nothing promotional about the page itself, as it simply provides information. It's a page with information about a local group that supports writers. Since an almost idential group, The Manitoba Writers' Guild], has its own page, I thought it fitting that The Writers' Collective did as well. I am not affiliaited with The Writers' Collective in any way, so I am not promoting the organization. Being in advertising myself, I cannot possible see how the article was at all an 'advertisement.' If a word or two here and there seems promotional, surely it is a better practice to just edit those words out? -Leighann7 (talk) 20:58, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
- Well this board isn't really for reviewing deletions. Which means that you can either bring this up with the deleting administrator, JamesBWatson (talk · contribs), or work the page over first. Let me know in case you need the draft back. In any case it needs to meet our notability guideline on organizations as any other organization including the Manitoba Writers' Guild. --Tikiwont (talk) 18:00, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

- Done as a contested proposed deletion. Note that the price or the usefulness of a subject doesn't actually impact the characterization of an article as unencyclopedic or "spam". This article requires some sourcing from third-party reliable sources in order to really secure a place here. Right now there are only links to download sites and the product web page.

mihalis safras
The reason that was actually proposed for deletion was that the source of DJmag pole was not reachable. We edit to remove the specific part but now a tag A& is tag on the article. The reason we submit the article is that the artist we submitting as seen in the www.discogs.com has the unofficial record of 'most productive producer' between 2007-2009 (vinyl wise) 32 vinyl records in infamous labels was the record that was credited to him from discogs admins. plus the pole you are refering that is unavailable is a press voting in newspaper. plus the artist has one of the most successful labels in techno muic -Mihalissafras (talk) 12:48, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
- While originally a proposed deletion, you've contested this in parallel with above post also by recreating the article without the claim and it has meanwhile been deleted according to the speedy deletion criterion A7 since the reposted draft did not mention any of above and was in fact almost empty. Now as it is possibly notable, I'll restore the prodded article but please review our guidelines on and Autobiographies as well as the other links on your page. It is probably best to let the community move on from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mihalis Safras. --Tikiwont (talk) 13:57, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Erin Zhu
She is a notable figure and I think that she should have a page. I was shocked to see that there was once a page for her that has since been deleted. She is noted on her husband and her fathers wiki pages and yet does not have a page of her own. I think its shocking that she once had one and it has since been deleted. Lots of people that are less famous, infamous or simply have a lot of geeky friends have a wiki page and the wife of one of the great musicians doesnt. -83.208.138.227 (talk) 17:48, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
- Not done. This article was deleted after a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Erin Zhu so, as stated at the head of this page, it canot be restored here. If you think the deletion debate was wrongly decided, or you have new information, you should approach user Mailer Diablo (talk), the administrator who closed the debate. Then, if you are not satisfied, you can go to WP:Deletion review. But note that, in Wikipedia's view, just being related to notable people does not make someone notable, and "less famous people have an article so she should have one" is not an argument that is accepted - each case is assessed on its own merits.
