Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion/Archive 18

Mark Burgess (illustrator)
I believe this page was deleted contrary to the guidelines at WP:PROD. The article, although brief, had one perfectly good reference and the proposed deletion tag had been removed. As the page is linked to from Return to the Hundred Acre Wood it seems reasonable to reinstate the page. Please note that although I am the subject of the page I did not start it. -Marcus civis (talk) 13:54, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ Restored as a contested PROD. Clearly does meet deletion guidelines for a WP:BLP, however, WP:AFD will be next.  Beware of WP:COI and the associated WP:PUFFERY that often comes with it. ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 14:04, 4 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks - that was quick! - and thanks for the suggestions; much appreciated. Marcus civis (talk) 14:08, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Hristo Stoichkov
HUGE mistake, please *SPEEDY UNDELETE*. It's embarrassing even having to explain why this article should be undeleted. It's like deleting David Beckham or Diego Maradona: Stoichkov is Bulgaria's most famous footballer ever, a Ballon d'Or winner, etc., etc. Someone probably scanned Articles for deletion/Todor Dankov for links and deleted everything on the page, although this article was only cited as an example of a better quality article. -Todor→Bozhinov 15:54, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
 * (cross posted on my talk page) My sincere apologies on this one, I searched on the script for everything that shouldn't be there, and I seem to have missed this one. I've restored it now. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  16:38, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Good News Weekly
This is a legitimate business, registered in Canada and British Columbia. It has been operational since May, 30, 2010. The free weekly paper adds value to vancouver because it publishes only good news. Which is something that the world could use a lot more of! Please see www.goodnewsweekly.ca for a sample of what they do. -24.84.36.79 (talk) 18:48, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Yes check.svg|18px]] Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. I will notify user, who proposed it, in case he wishes to nominate it at Articles for deletion. To have an article it is not enough to be a legitimate business: it is necessary to be notable, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." JohnCD (talk) 20:04, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Pentaphobe
 Despite limited dispute around 27-28 June, 2009 (on the deletion request page), the artist appears to pass numerous notability requirements at this time.

Although the artist has a minimal online presence, a google search shows hundreds of related videos, reviews, social mentions and they appear closely related to other artists and pages listed on wikipedia Beats Antique, Maduro, Amon Tobin, Ark 21 and Bellydance Superstars.

Perhaps notable that the admin who finalised deletion has dishonourably resigned?. -Visinaut (talk) 04:21, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Consider writing an article in your userspace with some specific refs and asking for input from others about whether it's viable (need evidence to see what you're seeing). An AFD "delete" decision is not "and never", just a "not at the time of the discussion". Seems pretty obvious that artists could become notable over time no? I would have closed the AFD the same way given the evidence presented there. DMacks (talk) 04:26, 3 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Makes sense. It appeared that there was a fairly even spread of pass/no-pass criteria and that the deletion went ahead regardless - I will read up more on the specific criteria that it didn't pass and address them, rather than staring intently at the ones that did.

Remixes for the Damned
Why would you delete a page describing a band's album? Your reason was 'unremarkable album'. That is a matter of opinion. -Grozo (talk) 00:18, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Yes check.svg|18px]] Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. I will notify user, who PRODded it, in case s/he wishes to nominate it at Articles for deletion. Wikipedia doesn't aim to be a catalogue of every album issued - albums, like other subjects, don't get an article unless they are notable, and to show that you need references to show substantial independent comment about this album. At present the article is no more than a track listing. JohnCD (talk) 08:49, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Zishan Engineers
reasoning The website for Zishan Engineers is there and shows the list of projects that have been done till 2004 and the website up-gradation has started and would be completed with a couple of weeks time. Ottawa mentioned in his discussion that the website of the organization doesnt serve as a secondary source and only a primary source, then please check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nespak - Nespak Pakistan which only presents two references that are of its own site (no secondary sources). There are also many statements in that article that need citations for e.g the last sentence. This is common for numerous articles concerning pakistani companies (I can give you the article names too if you want) With these emerging pakistani companies and organizations its very hard to find secondary sources since the primary sources themselves (their own websites) are rare. I believe it is for this very reason why wikipedia launched WikiProject Pakistan to improve wikipedias coverage of pakistan realising the need to promote pakistan and that it is new into the internet world.

In all fairness, I feel that ZEL's article has more secondary sources and more notability ( even in its un updated website) than NESPAK(that article doesnt even have one) if you need a comparision, one can google both organizations and compare its notability. I dont see how ZEL is not as notable like NESPAK or other articles on pakistani organizations. I would request you to kindly restore the article please. -Uzairsyedahmed (talk) 22:35, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * [[Image:X mark.svg|18px]] Not done - As announced prominently at the top of the page, this process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially and has no applicability to articles deleted after any deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted at Articles for deletion/Zishan Engineers (2nd nomination), asking here for any action is a waste of your time as it will not be undeleted through this process. However, if you believe that the consensus found at the discussion was in error, or that significant new information has come to light since the deletion, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user . After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review.. Every article must stand or fall on its own merits, regardless of what other pages may exist and any problems they may have. DMacks (talk) 23:09, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Scroogle
The article (Scroogle) has been censored by Wikipedia administrators/moderators and no specific reason was provided. The discussion page has been emptied and there is no log available anymore. This isn't acceptable for an open and democratic system which Wikipedia describes itself as. The reason why this specific article is being censored is obvious: the author of Scroogle.org is the same author of Wikipedia-watch.org, which is a website where there are articles talking about the dangerous power of Wikipedia's administrators and moderators. Isn't it funny? Let's prove there're wrong and remove the censorship of the Scroogle article on Wikipedia. -Poulpage42 (talk) 21:47, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
 * ❌. The article was deleted as a result of a deletion debate at Articles for deletion/Scroogle (2nd nomination) and, as it was re-created after that, protected from recreation. The deletion debate has been blanked for privacy reasons, but you can still read it by clicking the "history" tab. If you think the deletion debate was wrongly decided, or that there is more information available now which might affect the outcome, you should first approach user, the administrator who protected it, and if does not agree you can go to WP:Deletion review. JohnCD (talk) 09:13, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

I have already contacted PMDrive1061. My conclusion is that Wikipedia isn't what it says it is, at least not anymore. There was a time when people like you weren't administrators because there wasn't such thing as an administrator on Wikipedia. At least not ones that are completely anonymous and have an underestimated power. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Poulpage42 (talk • contribs) 20:50, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * ❌. No coherent reason given in this "request". DMacks (talk) 22:37, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The deletion debate can be read at . Myself I would dispute the blanking as there is no obvious reason for it.  However WP:DRV is the place to go to get it back.  A userfication could be possible as it was deleted for lack of notability. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:12, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Imperfect Harmonies
JzG deleted the article, because he says the album is "not out", which isn't an excuse to delete the article, because there are hundreds, if not thousands of articles already on unreleased albums (take Linkin Park's "A Thousand Suns" as an example). This album comes out tomorrow, so I was restarting the article with the basics, then allowing other users to fill in the blanks, so I'd like the article undeleted, please. -MightyJordan (talk) 09:29, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The release date is postponed 2 weeks, see http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/news/article/0,,7351945,00.html However I think that the concerns in the AFD were addressed as there is now a known tracklist, album cover and release date. So the G4 delete was inapplicable. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:24, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Not every album is notable ... ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 13:21, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
 * It may actually need to sell copies before it proves itself, however notability was not an issue in the AFD. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:43, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

GoodyBurrett LLP
The proposed article on GoodyBurrett LLP, deleted on 19th June 2009 3rd September 2009 and 7th April 2010, should be undeleted as it meets the guidelines for inclusion. The company operates in Colchester, Essex and plays a key role both within the local economy and as a responsible member of the community. I believe the article should be re-instated firstly as it would add balance to the other Colchester-based solicitors firms that have been allowed wikipedia pages in the past. The most notable example being Birkett Long LLP. Secondly, in light of the companies continued efforts in fundraising through events such as the Three Peaks Challenge for The Anthony Nolan Trustand their involvement in the Colchester Cycle Challenge. Thirdly, in it's field, GoodyBurrett LLP operates a unique, Lexcel accredited practice. It's a member of the GLEAMED mediation providers and several of it's partners hold and have held intresting roles within the community. The company also offer services to Japanese clients in Japanese language. The company also has a long and varied history in the Colchester area, over 250 years, leading me to believe it would be of interest to potential wikipedia viewers. Further, I believe previous articles have not attempted such an in-depth and unbiased view of the company as could now be offered by users such as myself. I look forward to a reply.-Loz1234 (talk) 11:37, 6 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Why is everything else being answered except this??
 * Everyone here is a volunteer; in my limited time recently I have answered first those that could be done quickly. Yours needs a longer response, and here it is:
 * ❌ This article has been posted and deleted so many times that the title has been salted - protected against re-creation. It gave no indication of notability - just said that they were a firm of solicitors with offices in Colchester and Great Dunmow, and gave a long list of the things solicitors do. Wikipedia is not a business listing directory. If you want an article, what you should do is
 * Read WP:Notability. Note that it means showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. More detail in WP:Notability (organizations and companies) Think seriously about whether you can show that, because if not you will find that attempting to get this firm into Wikipedia will just be a frustrating waste of your time as well as ours. There are many worthy organizations that do not qualify to be in an encyclopedia, and that is not at all to their discredit.
 * Read the WP:FAQ/Organizations
 * Read WP:My first article
 * If you are connected with the firm, read WP:Conflict of interest and WP:BESTCOI
 * If you then want to go ahead, make a draft in your user space at User:Loz1234/GoodyBurrett LLP. If you ask, I will copy the deleted article there, but you will not find it much help. Make sure that your draft is not promotional in tone, cites independent references, and does not go into great detail of the kind that would be better on the firm's website than in an encyclopedia.
 * Post at WP:Requests for feedback to get advice from other users.
 * When you are ready, make a request at WP:Deletion review for the title to be unprotected. (Normally, the first step would be to contact the administrator who protected the title, but in this case he has retired).
 * With regard to the other sites you mention, the argument What about article x? is never accepted - each article is considered on its own merits.
 * JohnCD (talk) 12:51, 7 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot for your reply John, i'll edit an article in my personal space as you suggested and then contact you to ensure it meets the notability criteria.

Polar Tree
 Genuinely useful article deleted

I have been using Wikipedia as a resource for many years, but this is the first time I've been motivated to contribute back.

This deleted data compression article is useful and interesting to anyone practicing the art. I have created data compression codecs that have shipped in tens of millions of products on Xbox 360/PS3/PS2/PC (and this is easily verified, as I am in the public credits for these titles) since 1993. Polar Coding is extremely useful - it is simpler to implement, results in less code, and is extremely fast. I cannot find a reference to the technique anywhere else. It's as least as useful and relevant as (say) these Wikipedia articles on ROLZ or Truncated binary coding:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROLZ

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_binary_encoding

I feel the Wikipedia deletion process has gone off the rails if these two articles stay, but an article on a useful technique such as this is deleted.

 * [[Image:X mark.svg|18px]] Not done - this article has not been restored because it does not appear to meet our guidelines for inclusion of articles concerning companies. In general, Wikipedia considers a topic to be notable if there exist multiple reliable sources of information on the topic, external to the subject itself.

Eight queens puzzle solutions


First, deletion was conducted with enormous haste - like 7 days ? for material which wasn't actually disputed or subject to any copyright claims. I suspect that the whole thing was pushed fast by people who either don't know much about computer programming or had some private agenda.

There has to be a long process for something like this to happen and very strong justification - no one has the time to patrol around when is someone who didn't like some code going to orchestrate a quick deletion.

Arguments for blanket deletion were bogus at best. Reasonably small sections of "code" in several very well known computer languages are well recognized representations of algorithms and are commonly used to explain directly many details and subtleties which are either not visible at all or hard to follow in a mere textual or even worse "mathematical" description. Disproportionately larger number of people can read and understand algorithm presented as a concrete code in a well known language and deleting them is a rough equivalent of saying that all medical articles should be only in Latin and for ultra specialist.

Concrete code for an algorithm is every bit as encyclopedic as a plain English explanation of a medical or legal term or exact formula to calculate something without wading through pages of text - provides usable information to much wider audience. For example every high-school student who know programming can follow C or Java code but not mathematical descriptions. A thing like eight queens is for many programmers the first entrance into different kind of programming and for them having straight code, on the spot is vital to having a fair chance to understand it at all. Programming is not math - don't usurp the right to pass a judgment on its nature from the position of some other discipline.

Small number of lines of code from published books and articles is always exempt from any claims under the fair use doctrine, especially for well known algorithms where even the notion of code autorship is mute (all or most implementations are isomorphic up to renaming of variables and invariant code reordering).

We can debate latter which programming languages are widely known and accepted for certain kinds of algorithms. Always C and at Java/C# (when expression is substantially different from C) and for many things 1 or 2 scripting languages. For example if there's no Java code, JavaScript will be equally understandable. The "pseudo code" is the talk from 20+ yr before universally known programming languages exist. For simple algorithms code expressions in C/Java/C# (even JavaScript) are virtually indistinguishable. For more complex things usually both C and Java/C# are needed for wider reachability.

There are algorithms that have to be presented in 1-2 languages which are not universally known (Haskell and F# in particular) if they are not representable in C/Java/C# in a reasonably simple form and there will always be time and place to debate adequacy of particular code in particular article (and review and editing, like other material), but not blanket deletions in haste. Only minor/specialized languages with "devotee" followings would be immediate candidates for removal (like Python, Ruby, Scheme, Lisp) but only if they are not the sole code in the article (better something than nothing).

So I'm asking for immediate restoration of deleted page and that no further blanked deletions should be allowed for code representations of algorithms of reasonable sizes without a reasonably long due process and a fair attempt at editing.

User:Kristinakrogh/OriBase Pharma
 The article was apparently deleted with the reasoning of promoting a company. The article was not even published, thus still under construction to be sure to fulfill the requirements of Wikipedia. Moreover, this article describes a pharmaceutical company, just like for example "Merck" and "Sanofi-Aventis". The article about OriBase Pharma does not differ from these similar articles. -Kristinakrogh (talk) 12:07, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
 * It was quite promotional, even for a userspace draft - even they have to meet certain guidelines. Was there going to be a point where you actually added notability?

Annotations Of An Autopsy
Added Links for direct proof.

False reasoning, evidence for action of deletion was/is not sufficient. The band named "Annotations Of An Autopsy" is still alive to date! Please fix this. See Record Labels - Nuclear Blast Records & Siege Of Amida Records for present proof! -86.135.12.199 (talk) 22:44, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
 * As per the first 3 times that the article was deleted, the band does not meet the notability guidelines defined by WP:MUSIC. So what if they're still "alive", they haven't done anything worth being in an encyclopedia - Wikipedia is not a garage band listing service.

 * [[Image:X mark.svg|18px]] Not done - this article has not been restored because it does not appear to meet our guidelines for inclusion of articles concerning companies. In general, Wikipedia considers a topic to be notable if there exist multiple reliable sources of information on the topic, external to the subject itself.  Articles concerning companies will be deleted on sight if they are considered to be unambiguous advertising or promotion, or if they do not contain a credible assertion of the significance of the subject. If you want to improve the coverage of cigar manufacture in general, it would better done at Cigar or the like but not inside one about a "niche within a niche" supplier.--Tikiwont (talk) 10:22, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Florence House

Notes:
The article was originally suggested for deletion for "ambiguous advertising". So ambiguous in fact that I, as the writer, did not even know what it was advertising. But I took the advice of Sluggo and made it more encyclopedic based on a different wikipedia article re: a significant building.

MINUTES LATER as I was editing NawlinWiki deleted it. He/she noted there were no "reliable verifiable sources". There were. There were at least 5 different sources referenced correctly with links to the direct media outlets reporting on the building's significance These sources included Portland Press Herald and Maine Public Broadcasting Company. I commented back to NawlinWiki that I had posted a "hang on" tag based on the instructions so that I could edit it more encyclopedically... I did not need to edit it for sources or look up sources, I already had plenty listed appropriately.

Based on Wikipedia's help section, I started the article again in the encyclopedic format with reliable sources specifically listed and linked, yet NawlinWiki deleted it again in a matter of seconds while I was editing. Even though again there were SEVERAL OUTSIDE SOURCES included and based specifically on Wikipedia's instructions, so do not understand how he/she could not see that.

The article that I spent so much time editing is now completely gone. I am new at this but have just as much right as anyone else to contribute here. It is not self-serving at all and I am following the rules that I see published here.
 * [[Image:Yes check.svg|18px]] Done Independent references were in the article at the time of deletion.

Jeremiah_Cohick, again
I take exception to the deletion of my Wikipedia article about Jeremiah Cohick. The criticism and review process that led to this deletion is only based on the opinions of few reviewers, reacting on their own personal biases without putting the article into a greater context. While I believe in peer review, in this case I do not think it happened. Even if there were valid criticisms to the article, that would have made it a candidate for editing, not for deletion. If those criticisms were pointed out, the edits could have been made and the article would have remained. The complete deletion was unnecessary.

The Apple Switch Campaign article has been on Wikipedia since 2004, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Switch_ad_campaign with Mr Cohick's name as part of that article. If an encyclopedia is to be inclusive, then any references to individuals in existing articles, should be made available for exploration and study. When I saw Mr Cohick's name in the Apple Switch Article I decided to write and submit a Bio to Wikipedia, to help fill in the blanks of the Switch article.

In the review there was a critique that the Bio was autobiographical. I am not Jeremiah Cohick. I was a fan of the Apple Switch Campaign and the Internet phenomenon that surrounded it. I became familiar with Mr Cohick through those commercials. A few years later I did get to meet him, which helped me write the article.

Certainly there are others mentioned in the Apple Switch entry, that have existing Wikipedia articles, with Bios that are on the same scale as Mr Cohick's, like Ellen Feiss http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_Feiss or Liza Richardson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liza_Richardson I am not suggesting that these articles be deleted, I only mention those to put the review process in a greater context.

The question is where is the line drawn? If a person is named in an article, shouldn't there be a Wikipedia entry? If not, why mention the name? If we delete bios of individuals mentioned in long existing articles, should that individual review lead to a review of the earlier and overarching entry? One logical conclusion would be to remove any name that is mentioned in an article, if they do not have a substantial biography. Personally, I think, using the Apple Switch entry as an example, if a person is mentioned in an article and there is no other information available, a small entry similar to this could be used ?In 2002, MR X starred in one of the Apple Switch ad campaign commercials.? With a link back to the main article. Entries like that would help make the Encyclopedia complete, encourage others to flesh out articles and make Wikipedia more inclusive. The review process for Mr Cohick's entry has the opposite effect.

All of that aside, I believe Mr Cohicks article was worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. His appearance in the Switch ads alone would make his bio worthy. But his appearance made him an Internet phenomenon and he gained quite a cult following. On top of that his survival of a helicopter crash, ironically while attending MacWorld, is of great interest. If one uses those two things as context to his success as an entrepreneur in technology, I think it creates an interesting and valid biography. In the context of other Bios I read on Wikipedia, it also worthy of inclusion.

I request that the article be undeleted.

Yes, you can do an userfication for the moment. But what secondary sources are needed to prove the notability? It is a scientific and technical conference sponsored by scientific societies well known in the field like IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and ACM. I can include several references/links to the sponsoring societies. The proceedings of the conference are available in digital libraries of IEEE and ACM. I am a new user of the Wikipedia and I am learning how to include new information. Ralreis

 * What do you mean by "the sponsors are not independent"? IEEE- Institut of Electrical and Electronic Engineers and ACM are the most known internacional scientific and technology societies in the fields of electrical and computer engineers. See at: http://www.ieee.org/ and http://www.sigda.org/  Ralreis
 * Yes, but the notability test is whether people independent of the subject have thought it important and significant enough to write about. In considering whether a symposium is notable, comments from its sponsors do not count as independent. JohnCD (talk) 13:22, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
