Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Will Santillo has been reverted. Your edit here to Will Santillo was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://twitter.com/santillophoto) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to an image file on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable image. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 18:57, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

My page seems to have been deleted, without notice - for reasons that are not true or real. I have some evidence to prove and verify information on my page …. WmSantillo (talk) 16:40, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * The article about you(not "your page") was deleted per this discussion. It is not required to provide notice to anyone except the original creator. Please read WP:AUTO. 331dot (talk) 17:31, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * So, based on your reply, my page that I authored over 12 years ago should still be live and viewable — however, I can not find my page? I have searched “Will Santillo” and my page is not showing in the search results?
 * Can you please advise and help? (I spent a lot of time creating my page and updating the history) WmSantillo (talk) 17:49, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * User talk:Sparksantillo which I assume was a previous account, created it. Deletion means it is removed from public view, I can view it as an administrator. Again, it is not "your page", it was an article about you. See WP:OWN. You have no special rights to any article about you. Please read WP:AUTO. It is inadvisable for you to attempt to write about yourself, but if you can address the reasons the article was deleted(given in the deletion discussion), you may create and submit a draft via Articles for creation. You will want to make sure that you meet the definition of a notable creative professional, and are able to.set aside everything you know about yourself and all of your materials, and only summarize independent reliable sources. I advise you against attempting this, but you may if you wish. 331dot (talk) 20:12, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * No … my page was “Will Santillo” or “William Santillo” - I created this page in 2008 and have been editing it on a regular basis ever since. My page under my name as artistic photographer has been live until only recently. All search references to “Santillo” or “Will Santillo” or “William Santillo” do not seem to find my page, so it is now invisible/not-public?. I spend years editing this page - if nothing else, I would like a copy of all the text for my records.
 * Can my previous page be made active/public again?
 * Why was it deleted or made ‘non-public’?
 * Can I get a copy of the entire entry?
 * I never had an account ‘sparksantillo’, this is NOT ME - I never heard of that name! WmSantillo (talk) 20:55, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * for reference, this was my URL: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Santillo WmSantillo (talk) 21:09, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * As I said, Will Santillo was deleted according to the discussion located at Articles for deletion/Will Santillo(click those words to access the discussion to read it). I'm not sure what is unclear about this. A copy can be emailed to you(do not post your email publicly, add it to your preferences). You can request restoration at WP:REFUND but you will need to address the reasons for deletion(and it will probably be restored to draft space, if at all). 331dot (talk) 21:18, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your answers - I have read the deletion discussion, and I may request restoration as do have some issues with reasons.
 * In the meantime, can a copy of that page contents please be emailed to me at my email address on file - thanks you for your attention in this matter.  Yours, Will Santillo WmSantillo (talk) 21:33, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * The email is on its way. 331dot (talk) 21:37, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
