- Not done This article was deleted because it was unambiguously promotional and a quick look shows that it was indeed written to promote Acharya. As far as claims of being the first of something, just saying that someone is the first to do something isn't enough since you'd need to back this up with reliable, independent sources that confirmed the claim. Things like that can be easily contested. For example, Facebook started as a social network for university students when it launched in 2004 and remained student-only for a number of years before non-students could join. Similarly, Unii launched in 2013. What I'm basically trying to say is that saying that someone is the first to do something isn't something that automatically gains notability. Also, it looks like you tried to make another version of this at Dhananjay acharya, so it's now up for AfD. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:03, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

File:Alexander Robertson.jpg
The image dates from 1895 and is in the public domain --- Rrburke (talk) 10:53, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
- How do we know that? The imformation says "Robertson Family photograph albums", so was this image publisehd before, who was the photographer, and what is the evidence it was taken in 1895? What is the subject of the photo? We will need some answers to avoid another deletion. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:02, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, Graeme. Let me withdraw this request for the moment. I had thought that because no information is known about the photographer, that according to the UK's Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, the work would have entered the public domain 70 years after its publication, and that, as a never-published work, it would have passed into the public domain in the US 120 years after its creation, on January 1st, 2016 (See [1]). However, the owner of the photograph attests that the image has indeed been published in the interim since its creation, and I will have to establish when and where in order to ascertain its current copyright status. -- Rrburke (talk) 13:53, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
- The photograph was published in the UK in Classic Boat Magazine in 2008. According to http://copyright.cornell.edu/resources/publicdomain.cfm , as a work published outside the United States after 1 March 1989 in a country that is a signatory to the Berne Convention, the copyright term is 70 years following the death of the author. Since nothing is known of the author, the term is 70 years after the creation of the image. The image entered the public domain in both the UK and the United States on January 1st, 1966, i.e. prior to its publication in 2008. As for the accuracy of the date of creation, we have the attestation of the photograph's owner. OTRS confidentiality precludes revealing more, but I am satisfied that the photograph's owner is in a position to know when it was taken. -- Rrburke (talk) 21:26, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Samsung (disambiguation)
This was procedurally deleted per WP:G6 on 16 March because it's not a redirect to a disambiguation page. Unfortunately, Samsung(Name), from which it was originally moved, has now come up at RfD where to have the history of this page would be useful.
I don't necessarily need this undeleted but would like a full history of the page from now back to May-June 2007. At that time, Samsung(Name) was discussed at AfD and subsequently moved to it, with a recommendation to delete the redirect which was not followed through. I believe that Samsung (disambiguation) would have been a DAB when moved, but around 7 July 2008 would have been turned into a redirect to Samsung Group (my clue for this is a bot fixing a double redirect), which in turn was moved to Samsung on 12 May 2011.
I imagine that the content of the DAB was held to be sufficiently mentioned at the article Samsung (at that time, Samsung Group) so as not to need it; e.g. I presume there would have been an entry for Samsung Town, which is prominent in the article. But I'd like to confirm this as part of the RfD discussion.
If you undelete it, please put it at User:SimonTrew/Samsung (disambiguation), and I likely will CSD G7 after looking at the history. If you prefer, a copy-paste of the history dump would be just as good for me.
Thanks Si Trew (talk) 07:52, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Si Trew: Done - I have put a copy-paste of the history, back to its creation in April 2007, at User:JohnCD/draft.

- I think you are falling into the trap we call WP:BOMBARDMENT. I have not checked all your 29 references, but #1 is about an exhibition by his art master and does not mention him, #2 and 3 are brief references in articles by or about his pupils, #4 is his own website, #5 is the website of a school where he studied, but does not mention him, the next three are all about the same book which he illustrated. Many others are links to his work. What is needed to establish WP:Notability in Wikipedia's sense is independent references that are about him, and discuss him and his work in some depth. Check out WP:Notability (summary). I suggest that you prune the trivial references and concentrate on finding a few really relevant ones. JohnCD (talk) 14:16, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

- @Writemorerightmore: This was deleted as a copyright issue by Anthony Appleyard, however from what I can tell from the source material it looks like wiki.polskibreivik.pl has a fair use license. It's really, really hard to tell because the website has an extremely poor layout, likely due to broken html. However I will say that the article has a few issues with it, which I'll list as follows:
- The article's sourcing is fairly poor, as it relies on a lot of WP:PRIMARY sources like things written by Groulx or people/places/organizations affiliated with her. It also relies on e-commerce sites like Amazon, which are inappropriate as sourcing.
- Some of the article looks to be unsourced or isn't entirely backed up by the sources given. This is a huge issue on Wikipedia, since we need the sources to explicitly state the claims in the article. You can't draw your own conclusions from the source material like you could in a personal paper, which is one of the biggest differences between a personal paper/essay and an encyclopedia article. (WP:OR)
- Some portions are dangerously close to being promotional, as it contains some phrases that are considered to be PR-speak like "love of theatre". It's not bad, but it does need a lot of cleanup.
- There's a lot of detail in the article. This isn't always a bad thing, but the thing to remember is that you need a lot of sourcing to justify going into a huge amount of detail about a given topic. Encyclopedia articles are meant to be brief overviews of someone's life and I'd say that only about a quarter of the article (not including book lists) would actually merit inclusion, if that.
- To put things bluntly, this would require a fairly large amount of cleanup, to the point where I'd actually say that this should be re-written from scratch. I'm willing to help with this, if you want, however I don't think that the deleted versions would be all that helpful offhand given how many issues there were with sourcing and other elements. Of course this relies heavily on whether or not Groulx passes WP:NAUTHOR or WP:GNG - putting out books and working in various fields does not always guarantee notability.
- Finally, I do have to ask: do you have a conflict of interest in this situation? Were you asked to create the article? If so, you need to read over WP:COI. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:37, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- Something else to take into consideration is that putting in a ton of sources does not make an article seem more notable for having them. If anything, it can actually make someone seem less notable rather than more notable. Offhand I'm looking at the sources and I don't know that any of them will be usable. The sources are either primary, e-commerce sites, or they're considered to be self-published sources like blogs, which undergo little to no editorial oversight. For example, while Bitten by Books is a good blog (I'm familiar with it) it's not one that would pass muster as a reliable source. It takes an awful lot for a blog to be considered a reliable source and one of the most well known book blogs (Dear Author) only barely passes as a reliable source - and even then only in very, very specific circumstances.

- I finished doing an overview of the page's sources - none of them are reliable sources that can establish notability and the majority of them are ones that actually shouldn't be used on an article at all. You can't use a general link to Ancestry's DNA page to assert that Groulx is a noted genealogist and state what her DNA makeup is - that doesn't back up any of the claims and to be honest, a general interest in genealogy is not the same thing as being someone well-known in the field. I also did a search for sourcing in general and I don't see where she's received any coverage in places Wikipedia would consider usable as a reliable source. My recommendation here is that you look into hosting this information in another site like Wikia, where's the guidelines are far more lax than they are here. If this was restored it'd almost certainly be deleted via AfD, given the lack of sourcing out there. I'm sorry, since I know that this can be hard to hear, but I just don't think that trying to restore the page on Wikipedia is really a good idea at this point in time.

Hi :@Tokyogirl79: There is no COI. I did meet Groulx in 2008 at a book event and have followed her on her FB fan page since then. I have no relation. Just a fan of her work, as she is well known in Ottawa, Canada where she wrote the books and is a local celebrity. I pulled much information from her IMDB page, and other sources around the internet. I would like help re-writing a page. It is okay if it is much smaller/shorter with less info. I am still getting used to the process of editing on Wikipedia and love writing bios on notable people. Thank you for offering to assist. I accept, if you have time, to review and rewrite. Writemorerightmore (talk) 16:19, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Writemorerightmore: Well... the problem here is that I'm not quite sure that a re-write will really help matters much. I tried looking for coverage of Groulx, but I can't see where she's actually been the focus of any independent and reliable coverage like newspaper articles or even reviews in trade journals. All persons need coverage to pass notability guidelines and while Groulx seems to have been active as an author and actor, she's never actually gained any coverage for either thing. The most she's had is appearances at various festivals, but festival appearances don't count towards notability on Wikipedia. I don't have any true issue with you trying to work on this via AfD, but I get the strong impression that Groulx is someone who would not pass notability guidelines at this point in time, as she's never actually gained coverage for her acting or writing. At most it would be something to keep in the draft space, with the potential to never pass NAUTHOR/GNG. I think that it'd likely be better for you to create your own wiki in a location like Wikia. It wouldn't be Wikipedia, but it would give you the potential to write about her somewhere, without the rules and restrictions of Wikipedia. I can still help, but I just think that it might be better to focus on some other authors or actors at this point in time, since Groulx looks like she wouldn't pass the fairly strict notability guidelines on Wikipedia.

I, E Guano, request the undeletion of this Articles for creation submission deleted under CSD G13. Please restore the page as I intend to work on it. E Guano (talk) 09:46, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Done - as an Articles for creation submission deleted under CSD G13, the page has been restored on request. Please edit the page to address the issues raised when it was declined, and re-submit it; "Articles for creation" is not for the indefinite hosting of material found to be unsuitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:13, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- This was restored back in October 2013. You'd edited it so I'm restoring it, but I will say that if it does continue to get declined it's unlikely that this will continue to be restored. Something to take into consideration is that coverage does not have to be in English, so if there's Russian-language coverage you could add that. You might also want to ask for help at WP:RUSSIA, since they might be able to help look for sourcing. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:13, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

I know that this article was deleted due to absence of reliable sources according to biography of living persons. But now, I have enough reliable sources to claim the article such as IMDb, Mid-Day, Bollywood Hungama, Hindustan Times and many more. Also, the person is notable enough. So, I please request you to restore the article and add a one more feather in this great repository of Knowledge, Wikipedia ! -❤ TrendSPLEND ✉ 12:27, 30 March 2016 (UTC) ❤ TrendSPLEND ✉ 12:27, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- @TrendSPLEND: Done. I have reset the PROD-blp template, which gives you seven days to add reliable sources. Note that IMDb is not considered reliable, as content is user-generated and experience has shown that there is not adequate editorial control. I don't know about your other sources.
