The Shipwrecks

This band was one of last to play in the old punk clubs of New York.

Page was unnecessarily deleted. Subject is a well-known artist who happened to just release a new piece of work a mere days ago. Notoriety and significance are very strong. Group is represented by one of the most well-known agencies in the world, runs a record label, and has had articles written by various credible online news outlets in recent months such as yahoo, tmz, and several others. They also hold claim as the only DJ/Live Band group in all of North America, and have been featured on television for years.

University of Santo Tomas seals and emblems

It got deleted because: it was defined as a glorified non-free image gallery and it failed to establish notability. I may have enough content to fill in the article. Please, let me try and edit the article.

I'm not sure if this is the place for the article. At the beginning of this page, it says it include articles that have been deleted through - articles for deletion debates with little or no participation other than the nominator, but on the next page, it says - If your article was deleted through the articles for deletion process, then it cannot be restored here. I apologize for not knowing what's obvious. Thanks -Pampi1010 (talk) 03:43, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

  Done That's indeed not put well, but Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/University of Santo Tomas seals and emblems has some reasonable participation and a clear result. In which case I can put it to User:Pampi1010/University of Santo Tomas seals and emblems where you can improve it. Just note that fair use rationales don't apply to user space. Since the deleting admin isn't active you can bring it to deletion review if you can add some good sources. In case of doubt drop me a note. --Tikiwont (talk) 20:27, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Thomas Erl

The page was deleted by an user (User:Wizardman) who is currently not active. The reason mentioned for deletion is self-promotion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thomas Erl). However I want to reiterate the point that I have been studying SOA since few years and consider Thomas Erl as one of the pioneer in SOA field. Hence I wanted to have his page on Wikipedia. He has written maximum number of books on SOA and is world famous in SOA related areas. I would be glad to answer any questions related to this page. -Edited by Sanjay (talk) 03:58, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Gray Plant Mooty

The article was deleted in 2008 by User:Lifebaka but the article was about a law firm that does exist - not sure why it was deleted. The firm's Web site is www.gpmlaw.com.

Gudda Gudda

This page was for an artist of one of the biggest rap groups in hip-hop today, Young money. It was deleted because some of the admins said he wasn't notable enough. As of now I don't believe thats true anymore for multible reasons. One being he's been in three music videos that were highly popular, Bed rock, Every girl and I don't like the look of it. And another being he's on multiple tracks for Young money, Lil wayne(Albums "Rebirth" and "I'm not a human being" as far as I know) and Birdman. He also has two mix-tapes with artists from young money like Lil wayne, short dawg, t-streets and nicki minaj. and other artists, one of which being waka flocka. he also has a collab album with artist lil flip and has been featured in a lot of other songs music videos. I also think its very unfair that he can't have his own wiki page but other artists from young money can that have the exact same popularity. Being a fan of him myself I would love to see for him to have his own page. thank you -Lightyagamixryuk (talk) 03:31, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Oprahnization

article was deleted before I had the chance to contest it. Reasons may have been that it wasn't a complete article, but I did not have the proper material to complete it. But now after the Oprah show is canceled this will have a larger audience. This is not the same term or meaning as Oprahization, the later refers to Oprah's effect on the public, the former, mine, refers to the public's affect on Oprah. Would at least like to know why it was deleted. -BuzzWindrip (talk) 03:39, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Slots

This is one of the rarest games for the NES (nintendo entertainment system), it regularly sells for $1000 or more. It has a rich history in video game history. It is a pornographic game, BUT the other two games usually associated with it DO have their own wiki pages, namely Bubble Bath Babes and Peek-A-Boo Poker. This was deleted 5 years ago and no reason for its deletion appears. Also the person who deleted it appears to be taking a political stance on their profile instead of an objective view of information (hard to tell because it is in a different language). -67.225.52.63 (talk) 17:36, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

  • Ordinarily I would just undelete this as a contested PROD but frankly the content isn't worth restoring. The text read "Hot Slots is a NES gambling game where the player gets to play slot machines with lovely girls like Frances. If the player wins a lot of money, then that player gets to see a girlie show with a special saying in English. If the player loses all of his money, he doesn't get a girly show and it's Game Over for him.". Feel free to go create some content instead. Spartaz Humbug! 17:48, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Yes, and you have requested it. The request was, quite rightly, declined. There is no way of addressing the problems that led to deletion, because the subject is not suitable for an article, as has been explained at length in various places. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:01, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

G4L - Disk Imaging

reasoning -Msetzerii (talk) 13:11, 29 May 2011 (UTC)


I am the current maintainer of the g4l project that does disk imaging. It has been listed in a few locations on wikipedia, but the link to G4L goes to an artist that seems to be a link related to Gangster 4 Life from what I recall...

I was looking at adding some updated info, but if it is just going to be deleted, then I am just wasting my time to even start.

  Not done The article reason given for deletion was "Article that has no meaningful, substantive content", and indeed it had no significant content other than links to 2 download sites, so the reason given was perfectly valid. Wikipedia articles do not exist to promote projects or provide download links. You should also consider that you appear to have a conflict of interest and are therefore probably not the right person to write an article about it, and consider whether or not the article satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

Wisteria Event Campground

The Wisteria Event Campground article was deleted under speedy deletion for not specifying why it was notable. The text of the article, prior to deletion, specified that Wisteria Event Campground hosts the largest pagan festival in the eastern United States, the Starwood Festival every year, along with the X-Day festival. Both of those festivals are considered notable and have pages about them, so therefore the site at which both of them are held is also notable. Clearly the site of the largest pagan festival in the eastern United States, Wisteria Event Campground, is notable. The former site of both of these events, Brushwood Folklore Center, has an article about it and is considered notable, even though its biggest events have all now moved to Wisteria. Clearly the speedy deletion for not being notable was an incorrect decision. -Yetisyny (talk) 13:39, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

  • See WP:NOTINHERITED. Does this location meet the WP:GNG? Undeleting this just for eventual deletion as non-notable seems a waste of your and our contributors' time.... Spartaz Humbug! 13:47, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
    • Well like I said, it is the site of the largest pagan festival in the eastern United States, which is verifiable if you look at the website of the Starwood Festival: [1]. The Church of the SubGenius also has information about their upcoming X-Day festival there on several websites, such as subgenius.com and modemac.com, and there is a detailed description of Wisteria at modemac.com: [2]. Obviously Wisteria is more notable than Brushwood Folklore Center, given that Brushwood is just the former site of these 2 events which have been held for many years and draw thousands of people. All of the mentions that Starwood Festival has gotten for 2010 and 2011 and all of the mentions that X-Day has gotten for 2011 have obviously had to mention what location people need to go to, namely Wisteria. Anyway, it says right on the website of the eastern U.S.'s largest pagan festival that it is held at Wisteria every year. That is verifiable. It is fairly obvious to me that it meets the notability guidelines you linked to. Look at the article Brushwood Folklore Center for an example of a similar article about a place where pagan festivals are held, in fact the article about where Starwood and X-Day used to be held before they moved to Wisteria. I have not found as many sources for the Wisteria article yet, because I had just started it when it got deleted, and didn't have time to get that far. --Yetisyny (talk) 14:37, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
  • OK I am looking up more sources to document Wisteria Event Campground. The Athens News, a local newspaper in southeastern Ohio, has it listed here: [3]. Subgenius.com mentions it as the location for X-Day here: [4]. There is a page about it on the website of Witches' Voice Inc.: [5]. It has a page on PaganSpace, but apparently that is just a social networking site: [6]. The Susan B. Anthony Coven, a witches' coven, has a post about Wisteria here: [7]. Pagansearch.net has it on a page about pagan festivals: [8]. About.com has an article on them here: [9]. Americanneopaganism.com has a list of links with descriptions and Wisteria is one of them: [10]. Reberbnation.com has them listed as a site for musical events: [11]. Faeriefaith.net has a list of pagan festivals and mentions several at Wisteria: [12]. OK so I found all of those sources using Google. I think being mentioned on About.com is probably the most notable of those sources. Anyway, so far Starwood has been held at Wisteria once, and X-Day is at Wisteria for the first time this summer, and this summer is also the second time Starwood will be there. I can try and find more sources if you wish, but it is rather difficult to find good sources, as most people are not into paganism and paganism is kind of a subculture, so it is mostly just pagan websites that mention this sort of thing. There are probably sources in printed newspaper articles and such, but those would not be online so I have not found any yet. Still, it is the site of the largest pagan festival in the eastern United States. The reason the Starwood Festival is not described as the largest pagan festival in the United States on its Wikipedia page is that some people claim that the even bigger Burning Man festival out west is pagan, but Burning Man's status as being pagan is highly doubtful. Regardless, it is clear that among the pagan community, Wisteria is a very important and well-known location, even if the rest of society is not interested in pagan festivals. Pagan festivals are covered on Wikipedia, so it is natural to include the site of the largest one in the eastern U.S. If you disagree about the notability of Wisteria, then please tell me why there is a page about Brushwood Folklore Center and why it is considered notable. If you do not think Wisteria should have a page about it on Wikipedia, then by that logic, Brushwood Folklore Center should be deleted from Wikipedia too, or else your policies are inconsistent. --Yetisyny (talk) 15:50, 29 May 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. Note that the existence of other articles does not constitute a valid argument for the retention of this one. You can nominate the other article for deletion on the same grounds, and we will examine your nomination with no regard to this article's existence or non-existence. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:36, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

List_of_prepaid_mobile_phone_brands

1) Deleted without any debate. 2) Misapplication of WP:NOT. “Wikipedia is not a sales catalog or directory.” This page does not meet any of the listed reasons for deletion at WP:NOTDIRECTORY. 3) This is an important navigation page that bridges to other WP pages. This deletion dead ends the Prepaid_mobile_phone page. Without this list I can no longer navigate to the companies the page is about. Deletion fails to recognize that different people navigate WP in different ways. I use such bridge pages frequently to navigate to other WP pages. -Tpiwowar (talk) 18:21, 29 May 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.

After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review.

Conduit (publisher network and platform)

The article was deleted for no apparent reason other than one user's inaccurate and seemingly biased belief that the "software" outlined in the article was a virus. This is far from true, of course (Conduit was even rumored to be the subject of a billion-dollar bidding war just a few weeks ago between Google and Microsoft), and the entry I built was supported by a dossier of credible and legitimate references (none of which painted Conduit as a "virus"). The user in question then created a "Conduit (virus)" page, which he / she then used as a redirect source for the original "Conduit (network and publisher platform)" page. This made no sense and I said as much, removing the deletion template the user had placed on the entry. He later reverted my edit and the "Conduit (virus)" page was deleted (no problem, since Conduit is not a virus), however, that was along with the original, useful and accurate "Conduit (network and publisher page)".

A Sky In Flames

It was accidentally deleted -Alexisametalhead (talk) 04:22, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

  Not done - this article has not been restored because it does not appear to meet our guidelines for inclusion of articles concerning music. 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 musicians or music groups 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. This was no accident. It was nominated for speedy deletion, and then an admin deleted it, and I confirm there is no statement of importance in it. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:57, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

This article deserves to see the light of day. This article has enlightened various users including members of my school. The very subject of said article desires for it to be released once again to the loving public. I stand before you today, waiting for this injustice to be reversed. This is a crime against human rights and freedom of speech and expression. Mormons have become enraged at this act of violence. They are planning to take course of action that will lead to nuclear war. In the best intrests of the world, I suggest you reupload the page to the websites database.

Dance Marathon is the largest student run non-profit in the state of michigan and one of the largest student organizations on campus.

notability -Anderspc (talk) 13:49, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Notability was questioned when the page is a BLP for a current member of the media community with a large presence in Madison, WI sports on radio, television and online.

I can't find anything recent enough to be terribly worrying under that title. Do you perhaps mean BOARD International · ( talk | logs | history | links | watch | afd ) · [revisions]? If you do, REFUND typically won't handle articles deleted via AfD, and DRV isn't likely to overturn. The fastest way forward would probably just be for the company representative to create an account and start a draft article in his userspace. Cheers. lifebaka++ 13:55, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

In a case like this, I could say it's better to just rewrite it from scratch if you can find appropriate sources; there's was a small amount of prose in what was deleted so it probably wouldn't help. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 16:03, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Aardwolf (game)

As this game seems to be one of the most popular (if not the most popular) MUD game that is active today, having the article deleted for not being notable enough seems highly strange indeed (although understandable since it is a relatively unknown genre of game). It is at least as notable as all of the other articles on specific MUD games on wikipedia. A quick search shows it to be the top listed game in the only two MUD game listings I could find, and there seem to be more plugins/support etc. available for it than most other games within its genre. -Rody1990 (talk) 01:08, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

The article was deleted via AfD in 2007. Normally you'd just be sent to DRV to see about undeleting it, but DRV tends to tell noms to just write a new article for things this old, so I'm going to skip the middle man. Just try writing a new article, if you've found some sources. Cheers. lifebaka++ 13:59, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Just recreate it, then. If new information has come up that renders a previous AfD result clearly no longer valid, you don't need to have it overturned.

  Not done Sorry, the word "noncommercial" is the deal breaker. The cc-by-nc is not a free license. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 12:02, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Is there any chance to restore the article minus the infringing material? Is there any indication as to what the actual location of the infringing material on http://powdertoy.co.uk/ was?91.107.183.16 (talk) 12:23, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
The entire article appears to have been copied and pasted from the site, so if we removed all the infringing content we'd be left with a blank page. No, there's no chance of restoration.
Additionally, even supposing the licensing on the Powder Toy wiki changes, we aren't likely to allow that content. A Wikipedia article about Powder Toy is and encyclopedia article about Powder Toy, where its own wiki is mostly about how the software works and things that can be done in it. Compare Minecraft to content in the Minecraft wiki, for example. Cheers. lifebaka++ 16:08, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

As Blood Runs Black

It appears that this page has been deleted for opinionated reasons. User Billy Blythe claims "What a stupid name. Blood runs red, not black. It can, however clot black in large enough quantities, kind of like a black pudding. Clotted black blood isn't going to run anywhere. It's like Jell-O. Also, any band described with "-core" after their name is destined for failure because genre bands don't last. Ten years, and they'll be forgotten." If Wikipedia is going to delete pages based on the personal tastes of a user I suggest we delete anything rap related. -BrutalATR (talk) 13:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

  Not done The article was deleted via AfD twice, with unanimous consensus both times, for the reason that the band does not appear to meet our notability guidelines. While, yes, one user may have used his personal opinion in the first AfD, that is no reason by itself to void all other opinions. Additionally, REFUND, being mostly a one-on-one forum, does not presume to be able to overturn community consensus, such as what is usually expressed at an AfD, and will not undelete this page for you.
If you want the band to have a page, you will need to locate some reliable sources (not blogs or user-written websites) about it to verify information. If you cannot do this, I suggest dropping the subject, as we don't tend to allow articles which cannot be sourced. Cheers. lifebaka++ 16:01, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Also, you can ask the closing administrator if he would be willing to reopen and relist the AFD. Cirt is usually pretty reasonable in that regard. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 05:35, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

File:RISC OS Icon Bar 1988.PNG

Used in Icon bar - will include valid fair use rationale if file is undeleted -Trevj (talk) 10:01, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

    • Can you please give a rationale here for these bars as there does look to be excessive use to have them all. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:46, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
    Sorry - I missed this request until now. Regarding the rationale, you could be right in it appearing excessive use to include them all. However, without them all being present (even if only temporarily) it complicates the improvement of important commentary regarding their differences. Some of the proposed "number of devices and applications" inclusions may indeed be excessive when viewed in the context of earlier implementations of the icon bar. Therefore, if the files are undeleted I would look to rationalise image use in the article, and not include more than are necessary for a thorough understanding of the subject. I think that the best place for such discussion would be at Talk:Icon bar, if/when the files are restored. If undeleted, I propose to include rationales and then remove the link(s) from the article if appropriate. Any orphaned non-free content could then be deleted again. Is this a possible way to proceed? Thanks. --Trevj (talk) 09:25, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
