Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion

Note: This page is NOT for challenging the outcome of deletion discussions nor to address the pending deletion of any page.

Requests for undeletion is a process intended to assist users in restoring pages that were uncontroversially deleted via proposed deletion, under certain speedy deletion criteria (such as CSD G6), or in articles for deletion debates with little or no participation other than the nominator. This page is also intended to serve as a central location to request that deleted content be userfied or emailed to you so the content can be improved upon prior to re-insertion into the mainspace, or used elsewhere (you may also make a request directly to one of the administrators listed here). This means that content deleted after discussion—at articles for deletion, categories for discussion, or miscellany for deletion among other XfD processes—may in some cases be provided to you, but such controversial page deletions will not be overturned through this process.

This page is only for requesting undeletion of articles which have already been deleted. If the article you are concerned about is still visible, but has a warning message (template) at the top, please do not post here, but follow the instructions on the template or on your talk page.

Note that requests for undeletion is not a replacement for deletion review. If you feel an administrator has erred in closing a deletion discussion or in applying a speedy deletion criterion, please contact them directly. If you are unable to resolve the issue on their talk page, it should be raised at Wikipedia:Deletion review, rather than here.

• Farrah Sarafa · ( talk | logs | links | watch | afd | afd2 | afd3 ) · [revisions]

She is a valuable poet to the community, and the archives and publication credits, listed in conjunction with her name ARE in fact all accurate. She went to Columbia University, and has won a number of prized for her poetry, as stated. I intend to supply a photo with this VERY well-known Palestinian-Iraqi poet, professor and writer, whose contributions more than ever-- need to be preserved. -Swanlake82 (talk) 07:26, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

•  Done Against my possibly better judgement (but it's the festive season, and all), I have restored it as a contested PROD. However, this is a biography of a living person with zero references, which is not permitted. None of her awards are referenced, which makes notability = 0. I will be advising the editor who WP:PRODded the article, as they may wish to consider nominating it for WP:AFD. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 13:53, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

I went over to AfD and submitted a nomination to delete this article.Anythingyouwant (talk) 04:10, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

It appears that this last version had multiple issues - no source, no license, & probable replacable fair use. The first two issues are fixable -what about the third? Skier Dude (talk 05:38, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Not having seen it, I don't know. Maybe we can do without it.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 05:42, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

This was the very first edit of describing how the group has become a major influence to the BMW enthusiast community. If you believe that this still is fulfills the deletion criteria, please send me the original article so that it is not lost.Surge709 (talk) 20:22, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

 Not done. To have an article, you would have to demonstrate notability by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" - see WP:42. Blogs, forum posts, etc. don't count. I have emailed you the text of the article. JohnCD (talk) 14:04, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Master of Finance & Control

• Master of Finance & Control · ( talk | logs | links | watch ) · [revisions]

I had earlier made a page by name " Department of Financial Studies ( DFS ) - MFC" which was deleted as it looked like an advertisement but after your suggestions I made a new page "Master of Finance & Control" wherein I have mentioned only the facts related to this course and have avoided any kind of promotion or advertising. If there are particular lines which you find inappropriate, please mention them. I would either remove or modify this to suit the Wikipedia policies. Please help me out with this. I would love to cooperate and follow all the guidelines. -Anshugoel12 (talk) 07:14, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

 Not done. Even without promotional language, this is not a suitable subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a notice-board for course prospectuses. Individual courses within a University are very unlikely to be notable enough to have an article. This has been explained on your talk page here. Also, if you are connected with the course, you should read the guideline on WP:Conflict of interest. JohnCD (talk) 12:09, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

I understand your concern but this Department is not merely a department of a university but it is kind of an autonomous body with regards to its admission process etc. This is a post graduate course which is similar to the MBA course offered by various B-schools. Since, all B-schools have a page devoted to them on Wikipedia, I want to provide information about our B-school as well through wikipedia. I request you to reconsider my request. I assure you that all the information provided would be inline with the Wikipedia policies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anshugoel12 (talk • contribs) — Anshugoel12 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Fair use isnt allowed on Commons. Restore this under fair use here and, if Commons Delinker already removed it from the articles, restore the usage in Second Intifada and Popular Resistance Committees please. -Martin H. (talk) 18:22, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

 Done And restored to Popular Resistance Committees - the only Fair Use Rationale was for that article. If you'd like it on the other, please add a FuR to the image for the 2nd article & then place it there. THanks. Skier Dude (talk 03:38, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Pivit

• Pivit · ( talk | logs | history | links | watch ) · [revisions]

Admin's stated reason for deletion was that the band's 3 albums may not have been released by a major label. That shouldn't be an issue, there are many pages on Wikipedia for albums on independent labels. I can understand if there was worry as to whether or not they had been released on any label, but a quick look at Amazon would reveal the label these records were released on as Red Eye. Pivit was a band big enough to have a few music videos and a good-sized following, along with being featured on the soundtracks for the PC versions of the Crazy Taxi series of video games. I'd like to know more about this band, and I'm sure others would too. -24.24.145.194 (talk) 12:31, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Done – as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored upon request. I will notify user Victor Lopes (talk), who proposed it, in case he wishes to nominate it at WP:Articles for deletion. It will help if you can add references to confirm what the article says and what you say. JohnCD (talk) 12:42, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Undelete request for 5grs

• 5grs · ( talk | logs | links | watch | afd ) · [revisions]

The entry 5grs has been removed immediately, without 'speedy deletion' or any prior warning. The reason of deletion the respective admin had provided was A7: Article about a band, singer, musician, or musical ensemble that does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject (CSDH) without meeting the requirement of A7 directives. 5grs band is the one and only Heavy Metal band with proper and wide underground publication and franchise inside their country while they're living and working in there, the only band with female vocal in Iran, and among very few bands from Iran to perform in several international Rock/metal festivals. They had several interviews with major media like BBC, and was featured in several magazines. They of course don't have record label deal while official publication of Rock music is illegal in their country. But they're the most widely known and active Metal band in Iran -Sx19216811 (talk) 22:14, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Userfied - the page has been restored to the userspace at User:Sx19216811/5grs. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:31, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Ontario Student Debate Union (OSDU)

• Ontario Student Debate Union (OSDU) · ( talk | logs | links | watch ) · [revisions]

I renamed my page to many times. I would ideally like a copy of the page please. I was attempting to make my page live( become a active wiki page) but I renamed the page two many times. First I renamed the page like I was instructed from a tile with my user name at the front to one that was just the organizations name. I attempted to find the page through the search bar but it did not work, so I assumed I had made an error when changing the page title, and attempted to change it again. I had a difficult time understanding the instructions and then labeled it with"user" at the front of the title, thinking it would work.(clearly that was stupid in retrospect). Lastly I tried to rename it the original name listed above. I apologize for creating this problem. The page is for a non- profit organization that facilitates High School debate in Ontario. I am okay if you decide it should stay deleted but I did not make a copy of the page before it was deleted and there were many links I added that I do not have copies of. If at all possible I would just like a copy of the page I had created. Sincerely, Kassie Dwarika, Username: kassiedwarika, email: kassiedwarika@gmail.com thanks -Kassiedwarika (talk) 05:31, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Rafael Alvarez Gonzalez

• Rafael Alvarez Gonzalez · ( talk | logs | links | watch ) · [revisions]

Mr. Joe Decker deleted the wikipedia page for Rafael Alvarez Gonzalez, a Mexican Biochemist, Academician and Research Scientist in Texas, USA. Supposedly due to lack of adequate references.

Therefore, the undeletion of that page is respectfully requested due to the following.

Please visit the Google page at:

http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Rafael+Alvarez-Gonzalez%22&hl=en&rlz=1W1ADFA_en&biw=1257&bih=564&wrapid=tlif12941184260151&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbo=u&tbs=vid:1&source=og&sa=N&tab=iv#q=%22Rafael+Alvarez-Gonzalez%22&hl=en&rlz=1W1ADFA_en&biw=1257&bih=564&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbo=u&tbs=vid:1,bks:1&source=og&sa=N&tab=vp&fp=aa0092ba45e9cc83

to see and confirm the many books where Cancer Research related chapters have been published by Rafael Alvarez Gonzalez, Ph.D. during the last three decades.

If needed, please indicate where the citations need to be added on the aforementioned wikepedia page for its validation.

Thanks for your help.
