Restore Narayani Sena page
changeWhy was Narayani Sena deleted?, Deletes reliable reference/content pages is against Wikipedia's policies. 2409:4085:9D0E:CFB3:640A:F0D8:21C1:9133 (talk) 12:21, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
Request for dwleted version
changeI request you to give me the deleted version of Haq Prakash as draft, so that I can work on it to improve it. 202.134.8.130 (talk) 07:00, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
Murders of Linda Gibson and Cody Lee Garrett
changeI restored this page that you QD'd, because option A4 does not apply. A4 applies to "people, groups, companies, products, services or websites." This article is about murders (which are events, not people), not the people specifically. -- Auntof6 (talk) 06:12, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Kourosh Torbat Zadeh
changeDear Management, Hello, why was this article deleted? Mrjbiran (talk) 15:05, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
I noticed that you restored this page per "Still on RfD", but I don't see a RFD about this page. Please explain which RFD are you talking about. MathXplore (talk) 07:17, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
- You're right! Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:56, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
School system (in China)
changeShazitang Primary School.
The creator/re-creator of the article, should maybe be informed: "Hi, in case it is of interest: This wikipedia does not yet have "School system in China/Chinese school system". Thoughts? 2001:2020:331:A58A:89FF:6622:7573:7B4E (talk) 18:46, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
You seem to have emptied this? Rathfelder (talk) 18:44, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- If so, it was accidental. Macdonald-ross (talk) 18:58, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Asteroid
changeIn regards to [this edit, isn't Asteroid impact prediction the purpose of finding the asteroids (the purpose) rather than the purpose of the astronomers themselves (their purpose)? i.e. Astronomers do not exist to predict impacts while the act of finding asteroids is done to help predict impacts. Pure Evil (talk) 17:49, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
- Well, I've no idea why astronomers do things. Many things in science are done for several reasons. I mean, it is actually people who get grants to do the research, but unless one has read their proposals, who knows? Macdonald-ross (talk) 18:56, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
Made You Look
changeHey, would it be possible to restore this article so I can place the simplifying tag on it? I was actually in the process of doing it but did not know this tag has to be placed until I just read WP:QD#A3. Also, I will note that there were some edits from other users on the page before I added the complex text. Regards.--NØ 14:40, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
- I would also like to request that this page is restored. Me and MaranoFan were both in the process of simplifying it. QuicoleJR (talk) 15:48, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Macdonald-ross: Would you mind undeleting it? QuicoleJR (talk) 16:34, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
- Best to start again, simplify first before putting it up. Macdonald-ross (talk) 05:10, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
- I was in the process of doing it already, actually. And the version you deleted was already different from the English Wikipedia version in several sections. I would like to retain those changes so the further simplification work is easier. And another person was the creator of the article who will now lose their article creation credit.--NØ 08:41, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Macdonald-ross: The article existed before his edits. QuicoleJR (talk) 12:51, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
Justin Jin & Poybo Media
changeHi there, I saw that you've review Poybo Media and Justin Jin. Thank you for your input – may I ask why the topic is not notable? Nothingexcepteverything (talk) 18:10, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
Hi, just so you are aware, I have restored this article following your deletion. The article was not advertising in the form you deleted it in, and there is plenty of reliable coverage out there for her due to her being the second-most followed creator on TikTok, and plenty of more mainstream media appearances beyond what she has done on TikTok. Thanks, --Ferien (talk) 19:32, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
Hi! Could you please explain the deletion of the article, also did you read my comment on the talk page for this article? Thank you! Isabelle Peters (talk) 17:11, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

changeHi buddy since you’ve deleted RG Qluck Wise please kindly create a new article about the subject Thanks. Gudwise (talk) 06:18, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
Fentanyl ...
changesimple.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=List_of_fentanyl_analogues&diff=9171907&oldid=9171901 , please revert (asap) if this edit was not helpful. Thanks, 46.15.118.219 (talk) 18:50, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
Hello, pretty sure this was not intended to be indefinite. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 12:50, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
markup issue
changeOn your userpage, for the "This user us British" box, you have the markup:
<center><big>This user is British<big><center>
The second big and center tags need to be closing tags ( </big> and </center> )
It likely will not have a visual effect, but it should clear a Linter error. Well, it will clear those two, but there could be more. Pure Evil (talk) 23:23, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you. Macdonald-ross (talk) 08:37, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
You deleted my page.
changeWhy? I just want to know. 27.111.71.15 (talk) 22:49, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
Mauro Stendel deletion
changeHello, I see you have deleted the page I wrote, Mauro Stendel. I don't understand how it did not claim notability. I've cited several independent, reliable sources on the page, clearly meeting WP:GNG Honestly seems like a case of xenophobia, just because the articles used are in spanish does not demerit it. Dotdashmeredith (talk) 08:32, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- Everyone does something, but this person is definitely below the threshold for notability. It's nothing to do with nationality. Macdonald-ross (talk) 08:48, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- Could you open it up for discussion? The references are all from Argentina's top news publications, and clearly meets WP:GNG. Dotdashmeredith (talk) 08:50, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- I'll leave that decision to someone else. Macdonald-ross (talk) 08:54, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Dr. Ramachandra Krishnaswamy Naidu deletion
changeHello,
You have deleted my article on Dr. Ramachandra Krishnaswamy Naidu saying that it did not claim notability. I was in the process of posting the referneces on talk while you deleted the article. Could you please let me know the reason and can I know a way to restore the article. I will provide the refernces as required SamriddhiNaidu (talk) 18:35, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
A question
changeHi Macdonald-ross, do you support neocolonialism, such as when France interferes in Africa to gain easier access to resources? Semper deliberate (talk) 19:11, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Semper deliberate: What is the question even for? RiggedMint 19:18, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- I want to know Macdonald-ross' opinion about neocolonialism. Semper deliberate (talk) 19:20, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Regards on Charles Ndukauba
changeHello @Macdonald-ross. Sorry for the pinging. I want to request the undeletion of the article, Charles Ndukauba for a clear rewrite. It is a humble request and I believe you are an understanding admin. If after the rewrite and it is not fit for encyclopaedia. I will tag it for deletion. Best, Mastashat (talk) 22:03, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
Happy holidays
changeHello Macdonald-ross: Enjoy the holiday season and winter solstice if it's occurring in your area of the world, and thanks for your work to maintain, improve and expand Wikipedia. Cheers, --Ferien (talk) 16:09, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks! Snow used to fall on London in December, but now it's unusual to see it at all. My granny used to skate on the Thames each winter. Well, that was the 19th century. Today, not even snow in London. So indeed the world is changing. It was quite pleasant yesterday. Macdonald-ross (talk) 06:46, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
- From what I've read the UK has had the warmest Christmas Eve since 1997, this year. There was definitely no chance of snow where I was this Christmas! --Ferien (talk) 14:49, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
Zhongli
changeHello Macdonald-ross! I wanted to notify you about your recent deletion of the page Zhongli. It had been deleted by you previously, but Djsasso undeleted it as it is under discussion at RFD. Some disruptive and vandalistic accounts continuously added the QD template to it. The page was deleted after a user, possibly evading a block, added the QD template again. Best, – Cyber.Eyes2005Talk 15:13, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
Recent block
changeHey, regarding Swedishrodenmafia, he's the LTA LouisPhilippeCharles and just sent me a rather nasty email (presumably because I blocked him on scowiki, x-wiki abuse is one of his traits) CiphriusKane (talk) 17:09, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you! Macdonald-ross (talk) 17:13, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
Why?
changewhy was List of ongoing armed conflicts page deleted? Faraz Sualeh (talk) 09:43, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- It's been deleted twice by different bureaucrats. Supported reasons have to be given for notability, and that applies to all the listed items. It can't be assumed. Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:48, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- its already there on En Wiki and several other wikis...
- https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflicts Faraz Sualeh (talk) 10:37, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
All the items are not discussed on this wiki. Therefore it lists items whose notability is not supported. Notability can't be assumed. Macdonald-ross (talk) 12:03, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
This advertising and infamous page MUST BE REMOVED permanently!
Some confirmed user create this page repeatedly, this is a typical A4 and G11 case that needs full protection to prevent recreation!

- (talk page stalker) There has been a RFD discussion for the page Zhongli and the result was to Keep, so please stop nominating it for QD. The discussion: Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2023/Zhongli. – Cyber.Eyes2005Talk 17:33, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Macdonald-ross Why did you undelete this nonsense? I am requesting permanent deletion, not restoration! WikiEditor9999999999999 (talk) 17:34, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
Quick deletion of Palace of Aegae
changeThe page you wrote, Palace of Aegae, has been selected for quick deletion. If you think this page should be kept, please add {{wait}} below the line {{QD}} and say why on the talk page. If the page is already gone, but you think this was an error, you can ask for it to be undeleted. You can find more information about the reason here. Mastashat (talk) 12:11, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @Macdonald-ross, I read your comment about the page Palace of Aegae but it is also good to let you know that researches on the page seems not to be notable. There is not even a source to back the claim. For the fact that Simple English Wikipedia pens WP: GNG. Reliable sources must be placed for me or any other editor to believe what you wrote, else we assume for the fact that there is no reference, it is mere advert and personal wordings. Best, Mastashat (talk) 13:23, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- I'll let other experienced users comment. Macdonald-ross (talk) 13:33, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi, you deleted this discussion page for being a test page, but it wasn't as it contained valid discussion. I have restored it. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 10:00, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- I was responding to a request by Ferien. It's perfectly OK to restore it. Macdonald-ross (talk) 10:17, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
A vandal tagged the Santa Claus article for deletion using U1, and then you deleted it. I've since restored the article. I know this is a mistake but I'd really ask you to be more careful with deletions. Thanks. --Gordonrox24 | Talk 22:33, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello! Thank you for your decision to delete. I originally created this page because I discovered the existence of the articles No.21 Middle School of Changsha and Daotian Middle School. I would like to ask if these 2 articles should also be deleted.
Additionally, I discovered that the user who created the two articles I mentioned has been globally blocked. If many of the articles I create are not notable, will I also face being blocked?
Thanks! Ansony89 (talk) 11:58, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reply: This wiki has taken the position that no school is inherently notable, but may be included if it shows notability. The example you mention is also not notable for the same reason. The general reason is that WP:notability is what counts, not "it exists". So long as an editor it clearly trying to do good things, he/she will not be blocked. Macdonald-ross (talk) 12:20, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- The best I can suggest is that "it exists" is not a reason for it to be on WP. We can and do have articles about schools which can show they are significant. Macdonald-ross (talk) 12:31, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
American Airlines fleet
changePlease undelete, I hadn't finished simplifying it. I should've put the simplifying tag on it. SurferSquall (talk) 17:02, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
