Nomination of Koh Masaki for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Koh Masaki is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Koh Masaki until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 13:38, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

I am sad my first ever article got deleted, before we had found a Japanese person to search for additional material. Dan88888 (talk) 19:50, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

I note that the policy has now changed, and the rationale given at the time for it being deleted no longer applies. Dan88888 (talk) 13:41, 13 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello, Dan88888,
 * I've seen your request at WP:REFUND. If you ask for the article to be restored, as is, to the main space of the project, I think the answer you will receive is "No" because of the previous AFD decision. I think your best bet would be to start from scratch with an article in Draft space at Draft:Koh Masaki. The administrator who oversaw the AFD discussion has not been active for many months so it might be a while before they respond to your request.
 * If you are set on recovering the previous article content, you could make your case at Deletion review and specify a) how the guidelines have changed, b) how there are new sources and c) that you want the restored content to be placed in User space or Draft space where you can work on the article and submit it to Articles for Creation. Good luck. Liz Read! Talk! 22:06, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
