can you tell me why it was deleted? how do I go about updating the Fessenden family line? -Fessbiographer (talk) 17:25, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
 * [[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 people. 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 people 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. Most members of the Fessenden family will be as non-notable as "Boston" Kelly, and have no place in an encyclopedia. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;  Talk  19:07, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

This is a genuine research centre at Ripoon College Cuddesdon, an Anglican theologiical college linked to the University of Oxford. I have twice tried to upload a page on OxCEPT and it has been deleted. My name is Dr Cathy Ross, a tutor at Ripon College Cuddesdon and Director of OxCEPT. All my contact details are below if you need to contact me. I have put up the page to create awareness of the Centre so that people can know what we are researching and get involved. The latest deletion claimed that it was imporper advertising - I do not see this as advertising but as information about our Centre and research interests.

If it can be restored, there can be a major clean up and he now has released his debut album which got into the Independent UK charts.

Please restore so it can be rectified. -CrackersTeam (talk) 13:35, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * [[Image:X mark.svg|18px]] Not done - As announced 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/Kameelion, it cannot be undeleted through this process. Nevertheless, 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. Skier Dude  ( talk ) 04:20, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

I am not sure what the content was, but if the article was 5 years old, as the contester noted on the talk page (see Talk:FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd.) then maybe the article should have been tagged for improvement. -Svgalbertian (talk) 22:05, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Angela Chetcuti
there was a source entered- IMDB, is that not acceptable? Also her website, her name was also already in wikipedia through two of the films mentioned in the article -Sarah27mix (talk) 02:19, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Neither IMDB nor someone's personal website (nor, in fact, Wikipedia itself) are acceptable as reliable sources affirming notability. As far as someone being mentioned on Wikipedia goes, that doesn't mean someone passes WP:GNG or other notability criteria.  For instance, my own name is in a couple of articles concerning books I've written, but I neither qualify under the GNG or WP:AUTHOR.  The bar - say - set up WP:NACTOR is quite high, and someone whose sole film credits are as "Actress #1" and a minor part in an indie film doesn't come remotely close.

List of potential candidates for the Nobel Prize in Literature
article was deleted disregarding Wikipedia policies -Anthrophilos (talk) 00:49, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * It's a WP:BLP violation. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 01:06, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * It might not be against policy to restore to your user space. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 01:10, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Article does not contain any original research (NOR) and all information can be verified by establishing reliable sources (V). Burden of evidence is on my side. The article is a new project and sources will be added. BLP does not apply as this is a list, not a biographical article. If you delete an article next time, please abide by Wikipedia's deletion policies and leave time for a user to challenge a proposed deletion. Thanks. --Anthrophilos (talk) 01:18, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Arthur Rubin - can you please expand on why it is a BLP violation? If it is really a problem then it should not be here, but I don't think that is the problem with the list. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:32, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * It seems that I am not the only one who is having issues with him. --Anthrophilos (talk) 17:43, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Above post redacted by Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:06, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * That's a pretty horrific suggestion, and I suggest you retract. Off-wiki harassment can and will lead to blocks.  Looks line a whiner video with no proof.  Again, you should retract ASAP. ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 17:49, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * With the understanding that the Nobel committee doesn't publicly announce who alternate candidates were, and that many of the people on this list are still living and fall under BLP, one has to consider that the sourcing must be pristine - absolutely 100% reliable sources that affirm that X was a Nobel prize candidate and not speculation. Reviewing the text, I see nothing anywhere to that sort. There's way too much BLP problems with this list that it is better to avoid it altogether, at least until we have the actual candidates from the committee themselves as evidence. --M ASEM  (t) 17:49, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I did not post the video on Arthur Rubin on Youtube, but it illustrates the experience I am having with him, and apparently I am not the only one. I have no problem in accepting that the "List of potential Nobel Prize in Literature winners" be deleted IF it cannot be backed up by adequate sources. What bothers me, however, is the extremely rude attitude in deleting articles prior to its PROD deadline so that the proposed deletion can neither be challenged nor factual evidence established in time. --Anthrophilos (talk) 18:01, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * it is better to avoid it altogether, at least until we have the actual candidates from the committee themselves as evidence - there is no reason to believe that the Academy will ever release names of nominees until at least 50 years have passed (currently, lists of nominees up until 1950 are available). So avoiding it altogether is the only sensible suggestion since the article is by default going to be original research (unless every living, published author who has an article on Wikipedia is included). --bonadea contributions talk 18:28, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Beyond that, what effectively boils down to "List of people who failed to win an award" is hardly an encyclopedic topic in my view. Resolute 18:38, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * If we knew that they were on a shortlist of potential winners, that is actually useful information, as it would be a notable piece of information on the various biography articles; we don't strip out the losing nominees for Oscars or Emmys just because they didn't win, particularly often that there may be some controversy after the fact. Now, yes, I'm not seeing that similar type of coverage would happen with the Nobels, though I'd suspect that's part of the reasoning for the 50 year period of silence). But, that said, we must have reliable confirmation before even considering this list, so non-restoration still is the right answer. --M ASEM  (t) 21:29, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Endorse deletion in strongest terms possible. The following is a list of well-known and lesser known writers whose literary work has generated enough verifiable media attention in journals, newspapers and the blogosphere to be potential future Nobel Prize winners and was created with the intention of inviting response and debate among readers and writers everywhere. WTF? Anthrophilos, please read WP:ENC, WP:NOR and WP:V. Max Semenik (talk) 19:00, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Not to mention WP:NOTFORUM and WP:NOTCRYSTAL. Resolute 19:05, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * That's kind of what I was thinking Resolute...WP:CRYSTAL would seem to apply. Besides, how would one delineate this List?  Every notable living author in the world could somehow be deemed a potential winner before a year's awards are announced...this proposed List would never be stable and would be in constant flux.  Since, as the creator states, this is a "new project and sources will be added", that sounds like the content was possibly in more of a draft stage than an article ready for Main. Perhaps a workable solution would be to restore (if possible) the content to the creator's userspace so it can be edited according to Wikipedia guidelines and standards.  I do, however, find the sentence that Max Semenik posted above (that is apparently from the List) somewhat troubling: "was created with the intention of inviting response and debate among readers and writers everywhere." ...sounds a little too much like WP:NOTESSAY and WP:NOTFORUM. Shearonink (talk) 19:55, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Is the part of the list that's currently at Nobel Prize in Literature that includes currently living authors identical to the list in the deleted article? I posted to Talk:Nobel Prize in Literature about having that list removed and don't think there's any particular hurry about it, but would be interested to know if the content is the same. And Nobel Prize in Literature looks like OR. --bonadea contributions talk 19:09, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * No, it's not the same. Dougweller (talk) 19:38, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Raised it at WP:NORN. Dougweller (talk) 19:43, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. WP:BLP doesn't prohibit only unsourced material critical of living persons, but any controversial material about living persons.  Being a candidate for the Nobel Prize seems "controversial".  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 19:36, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Now this list has obviously created a lot of response even though not the kind of response I had hoped. I was rather thinking of a response which removes unsourced posts from the list and adds new verifiable "candidates" instead of deleting the list alltogether. The question of how to delineate or limit the list is of course a major issue. --Anthrophilos (talk) 20:23, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * first, I can't believe you're still asking for favours after both the ridiculous ANI report, AND the completely wrong filing of this REFUND request. Your grasp of AGF, policy, and community leave a lot to be desired.  Nevertheless, your potential "list" will be a minimum of 50yrs delayed, and will only list people with a wikipedia article already, becuase being "considered" does not grant notability.  So, tell me, is this a remotely useful article? ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 21:29, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Bwilkins, given your accusations I do not think that you expect a serious answer. But here is my point and I am happy to suggest my critique on your understanding of the word "community". You suggested on my talk page that I "apologize to Arthur directly". I don't think so! I have mentioned that I did not create the video, but that I used it to illustrate my point. Arthur is one of those "tinpot dictators" that Larry Sanger has referred to in one of his blog posts (http://blog.citizendium.org/?p=221). And I echo that "one of the most annoying things about the Wikipedia community is the way that people really do act like each others’ editors, forming their requests as orders and in other ways competing to outdo each other in how condescending they can be". This is not exactly contributing to a productive atmosphere on Wikipedia. I am giving Wikipedia a maximum of ten years. This project is already in decline (member numbers, less edits) and if there are no major changes to resolve these issues, especially the endless edit wars and self-appointed editor-dictators then I doubt that Wikipedia has a fruitful future. But I have not yet given up my hope and will see how this project evolves. --Anthrophilos (talk) 23:53, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * ... but you don't consider it condescending to infer that Wikipedia is in decline because people aren't agreeing with you?   Ravenswing   00:14, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I am talking about facts, Ravenswing. Do your research! But this is not the place to deal with that. --Anthrophilos (talk) 01:02, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * You mean that this isn't the place for premises, predictions and suppositions? I would agree.  I would certainly agree that this is a place solely devoted to discussing this particular request for undeletion, one in which essays as to the future of Wikipedia do not belong.   Ravenswing   01:23, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * From the discussion at Jimbo's talk page (now archived) it looks as though Anthrophilos's 'facts' aren't accurate. The figures seem more flat than declining. Dougweller (talk) 06:44, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Never mind the "fact" that this isn't Facebook; it's an encyclopedia. There are quite literally millions of articles about which pretty much everything that's going to be said has been said: long-defunct sports teams, classical Greek playwrights, obscure kings of the dim past. Explosive growth is far more likely to weigh us down with pop culture ephemera and the Internet meme of the day than with substantive, notable fact.   Ravenswing   12:05, 19 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Endorse deletion: There are several absolutely valid reasons why this list was deleted. Anthrophilos has tendered not a single valid reason why the deletion was improperly done, nor how the article meets the various applicable policies and guidelines.  Beyond that, Anthrophilos' grasp of those policies and guidelines is shaky; one wonders, for instance, how he could have possibly missed in his interpretation of WP:BLP the policy's very first sentence, which holds "Editors must take particular care when adding information about living persons to any Wikipedia page." (emphasis in the original).  He would be better off in getting a better handle on those rules, which might mend his confusion as to why - as was the case at ANI as well as here - we keep failing to discuss the things he wants us to discuss on the terms he wants us to employ.   Ravenswing   23:50, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * ...and if he fails to remove his two renditions of the same NPA, he won't be contributing to Wikipedia for all of those 10 years ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 09:20, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Canyons Aquatic Club
The Canyons Aquatic Club is relevant in the USA Swimming world in that it is a top 20 team in the National Rankings. Furthermore, 2000 Olympic Gold Medalist Anthony Ervin grew up as a member of this club and is relevant again as he is making a comeback and has a legitimate chance of being a 2012 Olympian.

Mention of his comeback can be found in several places but most notably in Sports Illustrated here: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/nick_zaccardi/05/11/anthony.ervin/index.html  -Santaclaritaswimmer (talk) 04:29, 19 June 2012 (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, and who may wish to nominate it at WP:Articles for deletion, which would start a debate lasting seven days to which you could contribute. What the article needs is references about the club that establish WP:Notability by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." As an Olympic medallist, Anthony Ervin is undoubtedly notable, but that notability is not inherited by the club. JohnCD (talk) 19:43, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Michael David Crawford
reasoning I would like this to be restored to User:Ryan Vesey/Michael David Crawford so that I can review the information and see if more sources exist so that it can be created.

Ryan Vesey Review me!  12:07, 19 June 2012 (UTC) - Ryan Vesey  Review me!  12:07, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅. Congratulations, I think, on taking up that rather uninviting challenge. As this was deleted after a messy AfD at Articles for deletion/Michael David Crawford you need to go through DRV before restoring it to the mainspace, unless you get agreement from who closed the AfD. As you can see from the AfD, his fan club wasted a lot of energy trying to show notability by piling up trivial references, mainly to things he wrote - you will need to do a good deal of trimming. WP:AMOUNT is a useful essay you may find you need to point to. JohnCD (talk) 19:26, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Admins do not undelete articles based on the request of the subject or people associated with him - Wikipedia is not free advertising. In any case, A7s will not be overturned here. In order to be included in Wikipedia, a subject MUST be proven notable, by way of having multiple reliable sources discussing him.

plantuml
I believe the reason for the delete (quoted: "No indications of notability. Non-notable software. Unreferenced.") was incorrect. PlantUML is refrenced in at least 2 places ( List_of_Unified_Modeling_Language_tools and Graphviz) and does have some notable features (which I would be happy to spell out). I have found this software to be very useful and to fill a niche which is otherwise only filled in a limited fashion by a few online pay services. As a GPL alternative to those services, it seems to me that it deserves a bit of explanation. -Shdwjk (talk) 13:49, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * ❌. This article was deleted as a result of the deletion discussion at Articles for deletion/PlantUML so, as stated at the top of this page, it will not be undeleted here.

 * [[Image:X mark.svg|18px]] Not done - As announced 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/4.2.2.2, it cannot be undeleted through this process. Nevertheless, 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.

 * [[Image:Yes check.svg|18px]] DoneSince you do not have a user page this is the content:

Network users primarily use this address to check their connectivity to the internet by pinging this address.

Because the address of this DNS server is easy to remember, its use is spreading rapidly among IT and ICT professionals who quickly want to check the connectivity of a device.

It is also popular with Information technology and ISP help desk personnel, who find the IP address simple to tell people over the phone. It is often more convenient for them to instruct someone to ping 4.2.2.2 rather than the ISP's own DNS server in order to test connectivity.

The Bobin.A Windows virus pings this address to detect an active Internet connection on an infected machine.

4.2.2.1 through 4.2.2.6 are all valid Level 3 DNS servers. credit to. Manuelvde and Dina and a few other minor contribs. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:05, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

That would not be worth doing, (a) because of the promotional tone ("friendships that will last a lifetime!") and (b) because just copying the text would not provide the references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" which are needed to establish WP:Notability for an encyclopedia article.

 * [[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.

This page was deleted under CSD G4, content previously deleted after an XfD which has been recreated. I created the page again and it was tagged for deletion almost straight away. I was not the person who created it the first time, and undoubtedly it was different content. It was referenced and is notable, as it fits in with all the other newsreaders which have articles and their own category. People should look at content before they delete instead of just if it was XfDd before.  Rcsprinter  (Gimme a message)  15:08, 25 June 2012 (UTC) - Rcsprinter   (chatter)  15:17, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
 * ❌. The reason for deletion at the AfD was lack of reliable sources to show notability. Your new article's references are Bigfishmedia (his company)'s website, his own website, and a news item which lists him among several other people who joined a protest. That is not "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Newsreaders are not automatically notable. You should talk to, the deleting admin; then, if you are not satisfied, you can take it to WP:Deletion review. JohnCD (talk) 16:10, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Done? The article was deleted on the basis of numerous complaints.

My comments:

Onion the Dog

I have strongly disagreed with the NFD concerning Onion the Dog, and I still do, as this case is a legal one. If the Lexus Project wins their case that could be heard at the Nevada Supreme Court, then Onion the Dog will set legal precedent throughout the United States. Other government agencies will have to review their policy concerning vicious dogs. Also, the article reflects a changing view of pet ownership. This what made Onion the Dog unique and noteworthy as the big picture was not the dog attack itself, but the ramifications following the event. Quill and Pen (talk) 18:00, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
