I Liq Chuan

I Liq Chuan is notable at least. There are books en=ISBN-13: 978-0977658701 (I Liq Chuan: Martial Art of Awaremess) ru=ISBN-13: 978-5446510238 (Илицюань. Боевое искусство осознанности). There are TV publications in many countries: en=youtube.com/watch?v=CmozVFlK6QI pl=youtube.com/watch?v=HXQZ3lEXaVg by=youtube.com/watch?v=1VXz_poKO2E ru=youtube.com/watch?v=ouPojs3DChU ru=youtube.com/watch?v=CS180RegUoc ru=youtube.com/watch?v=zoB0QQfdcwQ ru=youtube.com/watch?v=gN-FwAXetTk . There are more many publications, video and text. There are many I Liq Chuan schools: iliqchuan.com/official-i-liq-chuan-schools-around-world. There are I Liq Chuan sport federations in USA and Russia. There is an article in ru-wiki: ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Илицюань -Vivliofika (talk) 16:37, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Not done - this Requests for Undeletion process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially, and does not apply to articles deleted after a deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted after a discussion took place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/I Liq Chuan, it cannot be undeleted through this process. However, if you believe that the outcome of the discussion did not reflect the consensus of the participants, or that significant new information has come to light since the article was deleted, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user Mojo Hand (talk · contribs). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review.
The article on ru.wiki wouldn't have passed on en.wiki either. But if you can improve it so that it demonstrates notability according to English Wikipedia guidelines, ask the deleting admin. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:36, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

File:Poly.pov

This was an important POV-Ray source code for generating several standardized images and animations of polyhedra. It's very important that this file exists somewhere. This is the second time this has been improperly deleted. If having a non-media file page is completely unacceptable on Wikipedia, then we should at the very least move it to some appropriate page elsewhere, like User:Cyp/Poly.pov or something (I believe Cyp was the original author). Does Wikisource allow source codes? -— LucasVB | Talk 15:52, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

@LucasVB: Why is it "very important that this file exists" on Wikipedia at all? Wikipedia isn't a how-to guide, and shouldn't serve as a resource for software documentation or source code. A POV-Ray user would expect to find this file available somewhere on http://www.povray.org or on http://wiki.povray.org — which is where it really belongs. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:28, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
You clearly completely misunderstood the purpose of this file. POV-Ray is a program that allows the creation of 3D graphics by "compiling" source code text files which describe the geometry of the 3D objects, as opposed to typical programs with a graphical user interface. This animation I made, for instance, includes the source code for it in that page, which allows future users to modify or update the animation if necessary.
So that source code that got deleted isn't for the POV-Ray program itself, but for generating such 3D graphics. In particular, for generating the standardized green polyhedra (lower on the page) used throughout all of Wikipedia and its sister projects. Having the source code allows other users to generate more images in the same style as necessary.
It's a matter of having open-source media on Wikipedia that can be updated and edited in the future. It's no different than having articles being editable and open to modification, and it's part of the Wikipedia spirit.
The source code must be part of the Wikipedia project, since these images are part of it and more images of the same kind may be required in the future. — LucasVB | Talk 02:02, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
You clearly completely misunderstood my response. I know very well what POV-Ray is. I use it myself. The fact that there is source code for generating various polyhedral shapes is irrelevant. The point is, Wikipedia isn't the place to keep and maintain software-specific macro files. There are places available on the net for keeping and maintaining such files. See http://www.povray.org/resources/links/POV-Ray_Include_Macro_and_Object_Files/Object_and_Scene_Files/ for example. It should be there. Or go to http://lib.povray.org/searchcollection/index.php and search for "polyhedra". You haven't explained why it's "very important" that this file exists on Wikipedia. Additionally, failing to assume good faith with accusations that the file was "improperly deleted" and that those responding to you here are somehow ignorant of the topic, isn't helping here. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:43, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
The file was created by a Wikipedia user to be used specifically for generating standardized polyhedra images for Wikipedia. That is precisely why User:Cyp uploaded the source in the first place. It has nothing to do with the general purpose archives you have mentioned, and it is not included in any of those. It has absolutely nothing to do with POV-Ray's project or its general community. Your suggestion of hosting it elsewhere feels like a silly arbitrary restriction. But it doesn't matter anymore, I got the source code from the Wayback Machine and I'll include it somewhere else, as the File namespace isn't appropriate. — LucasVB | Talk 03:18, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
You weren't requesting a copy of the file. You were requesting restoration. If you had just wanted a copy, just ask, and it could be emailed to you. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:34, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
I do think it should be somewhere, with a link to it from the image description pages (which it seems to be, now — thanks LucasVB). It doesn't really matter to me exactly where, but I think it's best all images on Wikipedia have the original source available (assuming they're generated from a source, that is). Κσυπ Cyp   21:19, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
  • Oppose restoration. Agree that Poly.pov is a useful code snippet, but as per CSD F10, only media files are to be hosted on Wikipedia. I recommend either creating a GitHub repository for it or simply pasting the code into someone's userspace. -FASTILY 04:12, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
Since it is text, it could easily be on a normal page. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:17, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
@LucasVB: and @Cyp:: Is there an appropriate WikiProject that could have a sub-page containing the text of this source code? That could be an acceptable place for it. Let me know and I will put it there. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:45, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
I managed to get a copy and move it over User:Cyp/Poly.pov. That should please everyone, as the main argument seems to be that the file namespace is not appropriate. — LucasVB | Talk 17:50, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
@LucasVB: OK. If it's a useful file, though, putting it somewhere outside of user space, like a sub-page off an appropriate Wikiproject, might make it more discoverable for anyone interested in generating new images. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:00, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
@Anachronist:, I agree. However, I was looking at Wikisource & Commons, and other sister projects and couldn't find a precedent for where to host project-related source codes. Seems like a very atypical scenario. — LucasVB | Talk 21:27, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
@LucasVB: I wasn't referring to a "Wikimedia Foundation project" like Commons. I was referring to a "WikiProject", that is, a project on Wikipedia itself, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics. That project has sub-pages, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/Editor resources. The source code for that file could be on a similar sub-page and referenced from the editor resources page, so that it can be more easily found. Most of the talk pages for the polyhedron articles have a link to WikiProject Mathematics at the top, so that might be a good place to keep the POV-ray source code. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:46, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
@Anachronist:, but that's what I was looking for on Commons & Wikisource. These source files are useful across the entire family of projects, not just the English Wikipedia. Either way, you make a good point that it is worth finding Wikipedia projects where we can reference the source code as well. Perhaps I could even start a project for this kind of computational illustration resources. Commons:Chart_and_graph_resources seems like a good starting point. — LucasVB | Talk 22:24, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

File:Rashtrapati Scout (The Bharat Scouts and Guides).png

The article has existed at Rashtrapati Award since 2006, and I just found it today. -Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 09:03, 3 December 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. It does not appear to be a picture of an award. The earlier hidden version is on a green background, is that what you would prefer to have? You will have to fix up the FUR and chop off the di template once you have explained how it aids understanding. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:07, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
@Graeme Bartlett: This one I really don't understand, sorry, please walk me through it. The article Rashtrapati Award does not appear in its history or talkpage to be an Articles for creation. The original image was not an Articles for creation, either, it was my upload, as was the original article the image was in, The Bharat Scouts and Guides. The earlier hidden version on a green background is the award itself, I don't know why the green background was removed (so yeah, the green one is the proper version). Apparently, this Rashtrapati is issued to multiple organizations and walks of life, based on the article; the badge is the pocket dangle for the Scouts. I did not know before today it was also issued outside Scouts, nor that the article itself was part of Articles for creation. (There are a couple of British awards that can be Scouting or not, Duke-of-SomebodyIforgetrightnowoffthetopofmyhead Award, like this, and one other I saw recently and it made no sense to me until today) Awards from the Medal of Honor on down have illustrations of the award-this is a variant of the award in the article, so it seems to me proper to have an image. What am I missing? Thanks for your patience.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 14:26, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Sorry, I used the wrong response template. G13 is my default, which I have a push button to add. But I forgot to change the letters "g13" to "d". I will swap to the green background version for you. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:36, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

It was advertising and exactly what it was when I tagged it, it was so blatant, there were no conceivable improvements to suggest it was anything else but advertising. Pleas see WP:What Wikipedia is not, as these materials are never restored regardless of "improvements".

File:Goldfinger by Shirley Bassey UK vinyl.jpg

Re-looking at the label, the international logo of Columbia Records, consisting of the label name within the music note symbol, doesn't look copyrightable in the US. However, the logo is probably meant for international distribution. I found one from 1957, possibly the earliest. If the logo is not copyrightable in the US, then the previous versions should be undeleted. Should change from "fair use" to "PD-ineligible-USonly" as the information is too factual for copyright. -George Ho (talk) 07:54, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Not yet. First, can you determine whether the label is copyrightable in the US? George Ho (talk) 08:04, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
@George Ho: I am not a lawyer, but I would think it's copyrightable. Although the logo consists of a circle, musical notes, and typefaces, the construction of those elements, with the words conforming to the shape of the eighth-note flag, is novel. It looks like a very similar construction as the Car Credit City logo described in the sidebar of the threshold of originality article, in which the CCC decoration by itself was deemed too simple to be protected, but a more complicated version, using an arrangement strikingly similar to that Columbia logo, was accepted for registration. One can probably argue either way, but in this case it would be best to play it safe and consider it copyrightable. ~Anachronist (talk) 08:19, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Tim Atkins (poet)

Hi -- my first time with this process, hope I'm doing it right. I hadn't logged in for a while, and my article about this poet was proposed and then deleted before I noticed. I am fairly sure I can gather enough sources for the basic WP:BIO criteria, especially if I dive behind a few paywalls, and probably for the additional criteria as well. There doesn't seem to have been any discussion, but I'm happy to try Wikipedia:Deletion review if you think that's more appropriate. Thanks! Franciscrot (talk) 14:02, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

In short I originally removed this assuming it wasn't ever going to be accepted however an admin believed my message on the users TP as well as the removal could've been taken as me being an admin - This wasn't ever the intention and it certainly wasn't my intention to perhaps decieve or mislead if that makes sense, In hindsight I should've left a better edit summary as well as a better talkpage message, In short my edits were in Good Faith and I was simply trying to help, Ofcourse infuture I shan't remove anything from this page again and infuture talkpage messages I shall be clearer, I apologise for the unintentional disruption caused, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 01:23, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
In this case a COI editor was doing the right thing in using WP:AFC. The draft was not written in a promotional style and so could be retrieved. But first wait for the user to get a new username. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 01:33, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
I went ahead and restored this anyway because the blocked user is attempting to get unblocked to change the username, and when that happens there's no reason to keep the article deleted. If the user remains blocked, the draft will simply expire again anyway. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:33, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

DJTJ

I'm not trying to get this page recreated. I just am trying to find out the date when it was most recently re-created. Just checking to ensure that a topic ban wasn't violated. (Figured this would be the best place to ask since administrators whom assist with this page specialize in such requests to locate deleted diffs.) -Steel1943 (talk) 23:03, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

@Steel1943: it was created as an article 28 Feb 2009 and deleted A7 the same day, then created as a redirect 21 July 2016 and deleted 22 Nov 2016 as a result of Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 November 14#DJTJ. JohnCD (talk) 15:43, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

List of Langit Lupa episodes

I need request Langit Lupa is added episode information last week it was adding Afd nomination happened. because they aired making a episode title using twitter. I believe to put back the list of episodes. Oripaypaykim (talk) 03:52, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

  • I'll ping Jo-Jo Eumerus, as he was the deleting admin at that AfD. Something to be cautious of is that it might not yet really merit a spinoff page, as the article for the show is not that long and there aren't that many released episodes yet. I'm not making a judgement call here, just saying that I've seen it argued in many places that a show doesn't automatically merit a list page for episodes just because they aired, not if there's enough room on the article and there aren't a lot of episodes that have yet aired. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:40, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
    Um, @Oripaypaykim: can you rewrite your request to be a bit more grammatical? I have some difficulty reading it. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 10:21, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

The Bronx Times

Enter your reasoning here and then click the "Save page" button below -Milosheff (talk) 14:50, 11 December 2016 (UTC) The person who deleted my article is on some sort of a personal vendetta against me for unknown reasons. The article simply stated what The Bronx Times is and what it does as an independent online newspaper, covering the Borough of Bronx, NY. This person did not offer any constructive criticism, did not offer help, guidance or advice. If he thinks he is some kind of a cowboy, he does not belong here and should be removed. Deleting my article eliminates people's ability to inform themselves what The Bronx Times is. I am frankly in complete disbelief with this person's actions and ask that whoever monitors his actions here look into them more carefully. This totalitarian censorship approach is what we had during communism and fascism in Europe and should not be allowed here. Deplorable! I want my article restored and if needs changing then edited. PeterMilosheff (talk) 14:50, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

@The Bronx Times: Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. I will notify user Swpb (talk), who proposed it, and who may choose to nominate it at WP:Articles for deletion, which would start a debate lasting seven days, to which you would be welcome to contribute.
You have the wrong idea about Wikipedia: it is not a place for people to tell the world about their own websites. As the websites owner, you should read WP:Conflict of interest and WP:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.
Please also read WP:AGF. The deletion of your article has nothing to do with a vendetta and everything to do with Wikipedia's inclusion test, called Wikipedia:Notability, which asks for evidence of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The references in the article at present are the website itself and a deadlink, which looks as though it was a list entry rather than "significant coverage".

Talk:Sample mean and covariance

I have used {{db-move}} to request Talk:Sample mean and sample covariance to be moved here. However, the talk page that I put the db-move template on had WikiProject templates on it instead of simply being a redirect. Since the page mover right was created 7 months ago, the template is no longer needed and one can simply do a history swap. I have temporarily reverted the move. -GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 02:35, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
