I'm sorry for my late response to the RFD, but was there any helpful and referenced content at here that can be moved to history of mathematics ? This is not a request for full page restoration, but this entry may work as a redirect to a relevant sector. Below are my summarized thoughts of the relations between WW2 and science:
Area/Discipline | Related WW2 topics |
---|---|
Chemistry | Biochemical warfare |
Physics | Nuclear weapons |
Computers | Enigma machine |
Mathematics | ? |
What I want to say is, I can hardly imagine any direct or substantial connection between mathematics and WW2. Due to this viewpoint, Ferien's RFD nomination reason looks reasonable for me. Although, a massive historical event like WW2 can possibly affect any kind of scientific areas including mathematics, so I thought something could be taken from here. Of course, POV pushing opinions or original research must be eliminated.
Again, I'm sorry for taking time after RFD closure, but I'm looking forward to hearing thoughts from admins. MathXplore (talk) 09:06, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- @MathXplore: Yes, there was a section titled "Advances" that had some info in it, and there was a little in other sections. If you have a sandbox, I could put a copy of the article there for you to cannibalize. -- Auntof6 (talk) 10:02, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- User:MathXplore/sandbox, here it is. MathXplore (talk) 10:07, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- @MathXplore: Done. I removed stuff that wasn't applicable for a sandbox (the RFD notice, a maintenance template, and the categories). -- Auntof6 (talk) 10:11, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- I added the Enigma machine and Manhattan Project story to the main article. These are topics which I may understand their importance. These are my thoughts for the other topics:
- Scottish Café, Nicolas Bourbaki, Trachtenberg system can have their own article rather than writing them in somewhere else. Each of them has enwiki pages.
- ICM related topics should be written in International Congress of Mathematicians.
- It is said that the Spanish mathematician Faustino Antonio Camazón created a mathematical code, but I do not understand what this "mathematical code" means or works, and I may not be able to understand the given references. Seems to be related with es:Antonio Camazón.
- Thank you very much for the response. MathXplore (talk) 11:59, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- @MathXplore: If you're asking for help with it, I guess I can look at it in the next few days. Aside from that, I suggest moving this discussion since we aren't actually restoring the article. -- Auntof6 (talk) 12:48, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- I think I have done what I can do, and I didn't mean to ask for further help than partial restoration. I just wanted to leave explanatory notes about what I added and what I decided not to add for now. I agree to move the discussion outside from here. MathXplore (talk) 12:53, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Sorry to say so: It doesn't make much sense to make a difference between mathematics and computing at the time of WWII, the real differentiation probably started in the 1960s and 1970s. As to Enigma: the thing was developed in WWI, it was just the deciphering (which was largely done by Alan Turing) which falls into this period. Also don't forget: The well-known things Kurt Gödel is known for roughly fall into the period of 1930-1950. Schrödinger's Cat was first mentioned in 1935 (by Erwin Schrödinger). Paul Dirac, Wolfgang Pauli, their work was in the 1930s. --Eptalon (talk) 19:29, 16 October 2022 (UTC) - Incidentally, mathematics was used in many ways in WWII. One could write a long article about it, and several people have already done so! Amongst the consequences are various advances in codes and coding, signals, bombs, gunnery, attrition rates, atomic weapons... The editor thinks a modern war can be fought without mathematics? There are sources for most of these topics. Don't forget, WWII was not over until Japan was bombed with... [you fill in the gap!].

A4 says, "If not everyone agrees that the subject is not notable or there has been a previous RfD, the article may not be quickly deleted, and should be discussed at RfD instead." The creator of this article disagreed and put a {{wait}} template on, therefore not everyone agreed the subject wasn't notable and A4 doesn't apply. I think let's send to RfD and let the community decide. --Ferien (talk) 16:16, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
- I think the statement "Chittagong's first Muslim engineer, editor, publishing-entrepreneur and founder of Dainik Azadi, the first newspaper of independent Bangladesh" constitutes a claim to notability that makes this article ineligible for A4. Whether that claim holds water is a question best left to RfD indeed.
- Also, QD A4 is really only concerned about whether there was a claim to notability in the article (i.e. EN's CSD A7 "credible claim of significance"). Whether the subject of the article was in fact notable is not relevant to the A4 judgement - it is possible to QD A4 an article about a notable person, and it is also possible for a non-notable person's article to fail QD A4. Now that I look at it, I am not quite sure why that last sentence is included in our QD A4 policy - if we are at the point of asking whether the subject is in fact notable, then it is by definition a discussion for RfD, not QD. Chenzw Talk 17:28, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
- Is it a credible claim of significance if the author says it's significant? No, because the author is voting on his own case. Macdonald-ross (talk) 18:28, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
- I don't think the use of the {{wait}} template matters here. What matters is the claim that is already written in the article. Chenzw Talk 02:48, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
- Is it a credible claim of significance if the author says it's significant? No, because the author is voting on his own case. Macdonald-ross (talk) 18:28, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
- Endorse undeletion - the claims of notability of enough merit to be discussed at RFD, if someone so wishes to nominate the article for that. Griff (talk) 16:11, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

It was speedy deleted by one of the admin but i don't understand why? She is the winner of Miss Nepal world and representing Nepal in Miss World. Clearly notable enough and has many independent reliable sources. DIVINE 13:46, 21 August 2022 (UTC)ex
- Overturn deletion: The editor who requested WP:QD#A4 gave the additional reason "Winner of a single local beauty pageant". The beauty pageant mentioned was Miss Nepal World. Miss Nepal World is a pageant at a national level so I don't think it should be considered a local pageant even though Nepal is not a large country. The "Miss <country> World" pageants are the national beauty pageants that choose countries' representatives to the international Miss World pageant, and this person is going to represent Nepal at Miss World 2022.
- I do, however, think we might need better references than this article had, but there are good references in the enwiki article. --Auntof6 (talk) 16:57, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
- Miss Nepal world is not a local beauty pageant. I had added notable references as enwiki article is also created by myself. As they clearly passed notability guidelines. I was just concerned with QD. Best Regards, DIVINE 13:09, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

As per I have seen the speech was always given a quick deletion as vandalism without any reason And after that not proper reason was given infact the page was having reliable sources and references the notability of the person was also question marked but it seems to have highly searched profile on various sources and the person is youngest person to hold the title of “Strongest man of Gujarat” and leading news sources articles are also been seen on sources and according to all study of sources it was proved that the persons page is right and a authentic he is an powerlifter who plays for the Indian powerlifting team — Preceding unsigned comment added by Materisk (talk • contribs) 09:12, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

All three articles has been deleted; one for being RfD'd, another one deleted with A6 (Hoax), and lastly with A4 (Not notable/requires reliable sources). I certainly believe that Bobik Platz and games they develop is real or not a hoax. Unfortunately, these links, which are all from IGN are dead links and I can't find anything besides the FANDOM wiki about this first two.

- Not done Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and only contains things that have already happened and/or have significant and independent coverage by reliable sources. Additionally appropriate in this circumstance: Wikipedia is not for advertising. Operator873 connect 06:56, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Operator873 Now, I'm done with Bobik Platz and related things on Wikipedia because these pages are fanons misrepresented as real things thus it certainly doesn't belong to the encyclopedia. As goes with @Trade's baseless accusations of me being an LTA, according to Bbb23 on the same DRV on English Wikipedia, the IPs involved in editing by User:LiliaMiller2002/User:Angelmunoz50 were in Spain according to the SPI archive of the aforementioned vandal on English Wikipedia whereas IP involved in creation of Sphere Matchers and Bobik Platz pages on both Wikipedias are in Indonesia, from what I understand, I'm certainly not an Angelmunoz50/LiliaMiller2002's sock.

I request the restoration of the article LaFlia Contenidos, the article meets all the notability guidelines to remain on Wikipedia, the company appears in more than 10 journalistic articles with independent sources, in the most important media in Argentina, Infobae, La Nación among others.
(I have taken care to add it in the references), This production company has significant coverage in the media. Julian AR (talk) 18:30, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Julian AR Please provide your sources. Media companies can usually be included if they have significant coverage outside of social media and websites that users can update (like fandom, wikipedia, et cetera). Thanks, Da LambTalk to me!OMG, What have I done? 21:56, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

- The outcome of this review resulted in no consensus to overturn the original decision made by the closing administrator at RFD. Valid arguments were presented for both sides and this will continue to be a contentious issue, like many others, but in the end, administrators are trusted to close RFDs, and Auntof6 is as uninvolved as one can be.

Both of these redirects were deleted for being “Not in English” although they don’t fit any deletion criteria. I don’t see any problem redirecting Thai words to a Thai King. -Deppiyy (talk) 17:53, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Deppiyy Only the nomination gave the reason of them not being in English. The other people commenting referred to the discussion at Simple talk, which could be taken to mean that no new redirects of this type should be created until that discussion is over (and these were created after the discussion started). Also keep in mind that there are no defined "deletion criteria" for RFD discussions so it doesn't make sense to say that they don't fit any deletion criteria. -- Auntof6 (talk) 22:10, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- I think what they are trying to say is the deletion didn't match policy/guidelines which is true. The deletion and delete votes didn't follow the current guidelines for redirects, they were valid redirects. -Djsasso (talk) 13:23, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- Note: I support deletion on both RFDs. The deletion criteria is used for speedy deletion. For articles that do not fit the criteria, the community decides whether they should be deleted, as they did. Support continued deletion. Griff (talk) 07:13, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- Restore per Djsasso. A few people supported the deletion pretty much saying "look at ST" where about 50% of the comments are essentially "I don't like it and I don't want to explain why". --Ferien (talk) 16:42, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- Continued deletion - the redirect is not needed.--Simple wiki can not solve all sorts of imagined problems.--I am not saying that the redirects are related to a troll factory - however my "out-of-whack detector", is giving interesting signals. 89.8.168.158 (talk) 19:11, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- Continued deletion -- Redirect doesn't exist on Enwiki and really there isn't any point at all whatsoever for it. Something that is unused has no place on any encyclopedia. Many projects have been deleted on this Wikipedia for lack of activity and I think we shouldn't keep something that has no place here. MrMeAndMrMeLet's talk 03:23, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- @MrMeAndMrMe: I'm not saying we should restore these, but keep in mind that the issues with redirects are different from the issues with articles (or projects, for that matter). Redirects aren't expected to necessarily be used; they exist in case somebody uses them at some point in time. -- Auntof6 (talk) 04:59, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I created an article called Ali Tajdari, the article was worthy of staying on Wikipedia in terms of sports and art. Before me, this article was created on Wikipedia, but it did not have credible sources and was deleted, but my new article has credible sources.

Deleted against normal WP:GNG rules, as it exists in multiple languages. Blissyu2 (talk) 12:29, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
- What part of the GNG rules does this violate? My comment when I deleted this article was "The article as it exists here does not show notability, even if articles on other Wikipedias do." The fact that the page exists on other wikis might indicate that the subject is notable (although those other Wikipedias might have different policies/guidelines about that), but it doesn't mean that the version here met requirements for Simple English Wikipedia. -- Auntof6 (talk) 17:01, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
- Can it be recreated in line with what exists in other Wikipedias where it is proven to be notable? Blissyu2 (talk) 22:49, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- Other Wikipedias may have different criteria for notability, so the fact that it exists elsewhere doesn't mean the version here is notable. -- Auntof6 (talk) 02:41, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
- I've deleted this one, too, because it was substantially similar to the deleted version. Please don't recreate until this discussion is closed. -- Auntof6 (talk) 02:44, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
- If I may ask that you recuse yourself from future discussions, since you seem to have deleted this against policy, that'd be much appreciated. Thank you Blissyu2 (talk) 03:36, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
- If Blissy2 does not withdraw the "recuse yourself" request, then I ask that Blissy2 recuses Blissy2 from this discussion, for the reason of disturbance of wikipedia, and/or for the reason of wiki-lawyering. Regarding one reminder for Blissyu2: wikipedia is not a democracy. 89.8.77.222 (talk) 06:56, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

- Leaning undelete- We don't need to follow any projects but for enwp we have WP:FOLLOW, there is an article of the subject on enwp (and was carried over there - also so called created by a sysop so I think the creation meets enwp guidelines), i.e. enwp accepts it and per FOLLOW, no reason we deviate. Also seeing the other versions, the works of this person seems to be able to meet NAUTHOR. The only thing holding me back is the spammy nature, we need a clean version here. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 09:04, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
- This is a bit late, but see WP:What FOLLOW is not — we only follow in the case that we do not have the correct & corresponding guidelines. FOLLOW does not pertain to having articles. MrMeAndMrMeLet's talk 15:19, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- MrMeAndMrMe, there are relatively few cases where we need to follow enwiki because our policies and guidelines cover most things already. But in those few cases, all policies and guidelines on enwiki are guidelines. And as guidelines say, it is a good idea to follow them, but it is not policy, we don't need to follow it - although from my experience, keeping away from guidelines just makes messy situations. Another flaw of your essay: we don't have few policies and guidelines because we have few editors, we have few policies and guidelines for simplicity purposes. --Ferien (talk) 15:41, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not talking about that. Follow does not pertain to articles, it pertains to guidelines, policies, ect. Sorry for any confusion. MrMeAndMrMeLet's talk 15:44, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- You confused me because you linked to that essay which didn't talk about articles :) --Ferien (talk) 15:45, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- Sorry. Perhaps I should include that as well in future revisions. MrMeAndMrMeLet's talk 18:16, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- You confused me because you linked to that essay which didn't talk about articles :) --Ferien (talk) 15:45, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Ferien upon further thought, I would like to point out that following en.wiki.x.io guidelines that don't conflict with ours is literally the same thing as having those guidelines at the Simple Wikipedia. People will still reference those guidelines and will be pointed out regularly so I wouldn't call that "simple" if we basically copy all of their guidelines. In fact, it makes it more confusing due to the fact that those enwiki guidelines are written in complex english.
- I may have written this confusingly so I can reword it if you don't understand. MrMeAndMrMeLet's talk 02:23, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- When I mean it's more simple, here I'm saying there are less of things. Most of our editors understand complex English - it is more difficult to edit here if you don't know what is complex and what isn't - so that is why our template docs aren't in Simple English, for example. --Ferien (talk) 11:45, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

- Neutral - The article had about zero sources - but they were available on other language-versions of Wikipedia. I am fine with this case being sort of an informal deterrent: When nobody (including myself) does not add a single notable source - then sometimes stuff ends up being deleted (for whatever reason). Leaving things as they are, works for me (and if someone starts an article that actually has a notable source, then that will be a new situation regarding Youssef Rzouga. 89.8.131.154 (talk) 10:32, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

- I think this one is uncontroversial, it stayed at RfD for 10 days (RfD) the comment that there are no sources was made about 3 days into the process. So, I endorse deletion. --Eptalon (talk) 20:38, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Whilst there was consensus to delete on the RfD here, the page was not eligible for G1 deletion. It was written in English that made sense and so it is not, in any way, eligible for G1 deletion. Furthermore Macdonald-ross was involved in the deletion discussion so he probably shouldn't have deleted it himself. --Ferien (talk) 14:56, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
- We should not split hairs over this kind of page. Macdonald-ross (talk) 18:54, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- I don't think it should be restored now. I just don't think it met the QD criteria back then and an RfD would have been fine. --Ferien (talk) 18:56, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Well, we need to keep in mind that RfD is overloaded and slow. By clearing the decks with obvious cases we free up RfD to grind on remorselessly with more debateable cases. Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:27, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
- No No No. We should never speedy just for the sake of speed when QD is not applicable. The being slow is the point. Please stop using QD criteria when they are not applicable, its an abuse of your tools. -Djsasso (talk) 12:19, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

- I agree that the deletion was completely out of the regular process, and as far as I know G1 is only applicable when the page makes no sense (in language). That being said, I think we can just let it be as this is going nowhere. The comments on the RFD page are all in favor of deletion, and restoring the page just to delete again seems pointless.-BRP ever 12:14, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

While trying to move User:Naleksuh/Ram Ranch to mainspace, I forgot that namespaces are controlled by a menu and not the type box, and accidentally moved it to User:Ram Ranch. When I saw it was a red link, I thought "Oh, how nice of the sysop to correct the move without leaving a redirect!", no, instead they have deleted the page completely citing U2. Please restore this and move it to Ram Ranch, as this was very obviously what I meant to do, and is spirit not letter. Naleksuh (talk) 20:38, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Not eligible for G7 at all. Author was constantly removing the QD and RfD tags and then when they likely blanked it to rework the article, it was QDed as G7. The author removed the G7 template to show they do not want the article deleted and it was readded when they removed it... Pinging @MathXplore, Fehufanga, and Macdonald-ross: as people readding the tag and deleting admin. --Ferien (talk) 16:52, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- Without commenting on the process that got us here, I endorse continued deletion per A4. In the deleted article, the subject is only described as a family relation of someone else, which does not indicate notability per WP:BIOFAM. As such, there is no claim to notability or sources to indicate such. Griff (talk) 18:31, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- The article was already at RfD, and in most cases with notability, once you've got to RfD, it's best to do a full RfD instead of quickly deleting the page during it. And as shown here, someone could believe that being related to a notable person is a claim to notability, and so pages are not eligible for A4 because of it. --Ferien (talk) 19:27, 5 March 2022 (UTC) (edited 19:32, 5 March 2022 (UTC))
- Restore so that author can rework on it properly, and it can go through a proper RFD. I mistook the author wanting to delete the page as they left a message about deleting the article after they removed the G7 tag, and I sincerely apologize for that. --*Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page ♮ 22:07, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

And a response from MathXplore and Macdonald-ross would be preferred, especially Macdonald-ross as there have been many instances now where his deletions have been completely incorrect and out of deletion policy, see #Cat racism as one example. Admins are supposed to be open to the community with how they use the tools; not following the spirit of the deletion reasons at all multiple times and ignoring messages about these deletions is not being open to the community. --Ferien (talk) 09:34, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- I also agree to restore the article and continue/restart RfD, although the author must promise NOT to remove tags. MathXplore (talk) 09:38, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

- Pretty clear here in my opinion, should be restored and go to RfD. I also find the block of User:136.158.30.247 somewhat questionable. Removing tags isn't good, but a block for creating bad pages is a little off base in this case. --Gordonrox24 | Talk 20:09, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- In any case where it is thought that further discussion could be fruitful, it is quite reasonable to put the item back on RfD. I was evidently mistaken in removing it, and I apologise to colleagues for doing so. Macdonald-ross (talk) 16:17, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

There was an acceptable amount of content and this was very clearly not a test page. I had already declined the QD request because the article is not eligible for quick deletion. However, I would like someone else to look at this as I was the one who declined the QD request originally. Also pinging @Macdonald-ross: as the admin who deleted the page. Thanks. --Ferien (talk) 20:35, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- endorse undeletion - While I don't know what the content was, swelling as a word is very encyclopaedic and it exists on EN-Wiki. At minimum we could create the page with appropriate content if the original content was not adequate. Blissyu2 (talk) 04:02, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Blissyu2: The entire content was "An unusual enlargement (size getting bigger) of a part of the body is known as swelling." -- Auntof6 (talk) 04:21, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: I put in a couple of requests at the top of this page but I am now noting that new ones are going at the bottom. I thought that they were meant to go at the top like in RfD. Did I get it the wrong way around? Blissyu2 (talk) 04:03, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Blissyu2: I think people would see them in either case, so no worries. -- Auntof6 (talk) 04:17, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse deletion: the content was no more than a dictionary definition. If more medical-type content were added, it could be encyclopedic. As for a word being encyclopedic, only topics are encyclopedic, not words, unless you're analyzing the word itself (its etymology, for example), which this was not doing. -- Auntof6 (talk) 04:20, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- However, "Wikipedia is not a dictionary" is not a reason to quickly delete an article. The main problem here is that the page was deleted as a test page, which it wasn't. The article could have been expanded or even redirected to Oedema like Swelling does on enwiki, I think a delete here was unnecessary. --Ferien (talk) 15:11, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- We do have the page Oedema, which is also known as "swelling" (as I see it: its caused by fluid in the tissue); I am not a doctor, so I can't say if a swelling that occurs as part of an injury, and which is probably part of the healing process is different from the Oedema. If it isn't then we need just one of the two (which likely means: redirect Swelling to Oedema, or a Section and expand there). If it is, then we need a separate article, which also points out the differences.--Eptalon (talk) 17:12, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

- Undelete - Certainly not a test page and redirection can be done outside of a deletion process, if the article is up to scratch and it's not like G3/G10 which a delete and redirect might be better. Undelete and redirect will be best here or if we wanna cut the red tape, just someone BOLDly creating a redirect will do. But on the record this isn't a G2 at the very least.

You changed some words which didn't really make it less complex and you weren't going to change it further.

Beit was a leader in the De Beers Company and an employer and business partner of Cecil Rhodes. He is notable for contributing money to Rhodes's scholarship and his role in politics. RegrettingMistakes777 (talk) 01:36, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- Very little of that was included in the article. The entire text of the article was "Alfred Beit (1853-1906) was a German-born South African industrialist and business partner of Cecil Rhodes." The things that make a person notable have to be stated in the article. -- Auntof6 (talk) 01:42, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- I am voting to overturn: He controlled 37 per cent of the gold produced at the Witwatersrand's goldfields in Johannesburg in 1913; He had an immaculate art collection that was sold piece by piece to raise money; In 1905 he founded a chair of colonial history at the University of Oxford, which is now the Beit Professorship of History of the British Commonwealth; In his will he set up the Beit Trust through which he bequeathed large sums of money (£1,200,000) for infrastructure development in the former Northern and Southern Rhodesia, later modified to university education and research in Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi.; Significant infrastructure projects financed by the Trust include the Birchenough Bridge in the former Southern Rhodesi.

Comment: The article has been deleted as a community consensus was reached. Yes, what happens on enWP does have an effect on simple as well. The decision was objective and despite everything sent to the discussion, nothing ever met the notability standards that are required to have a Wikipedia article. There was no rudeness involved. What we saw was a bunch of editors saying keep, IP users removing comments, and striking out comments from named and trusted users (especially one who is an administrator on enWP and saying they were canvassed). This was a huge disruption to the project. Socks do matter. It is called cross-wiki spam and block evasion. It is pretty simple. I apologize for the way you feel, however, the discussion happened, it went almost a week over the initial 7 days to allow more time for any sign of notability and that did not happen.

The mentioned article was currently nominated to speedy deletion because the article with the same content (and name actually) was once deleted because it did not provide enough references to stand. I suggested it to be reviewed before all and gave a reason that, it had all the requirements for an article but I was never replied and the discussion was a seen a waste lastly, it was deleted. Could you please reconsider and review it?..Though the requirements for an article may vary among wikipedias of different languages. I think notability stands as a pie for all.

Also he his an author with a notable book nominated in several accordance. He is a performer too. We could keep on improving if article was still alive. NHWX (talk) 19:17, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- I checked IMDB and none of the credited roles he was in were *not* in notable movies as defined by our guideline on movie notability, nor did I see any indication he met the notability guideline for actors and performers. It is the responsibility of the user requesting a deletion review to show why the reasons the article was deleted were not valid, and you have not provided sources or evidence that it was. At this time, I support continued deletion. Griff (talk) 06:02, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

- His credit Fatuma (2018) is streamed in Netflix and won Top Swahili Awards at 2018 Zanzibar Film

- Oppose undeletion. According to the original Request for Deletion, the article was deleted because the topic failed to meet notability guidelines. That RfD also had issues with multiple sockpuppets being used to try and sway the result. There is currently nothing about this person that makes them any different from a multitude of other unknown actors. He has had no significant roles in any significant projects.

The page was speedy deleted, because the page would be “a copy a page from another wiki”. That is not the case. On my talk page was also mentioned it was the same article as 1930 Women's World Games. That is also not the case, as the article was part of a series of Athletics at the 1930 Women's World Games.
I will explain: The 1930 Women's World Games consisted of several sports (like the Olympics). So see Athletics at the 1930 Women's World Games, Basketball at the 1930 Women's World Games, Fencing at the 1930 Women's World Games and Handball at the 1930 Women's World Games. There were 12 athletics events. One being the triathlon (that is now deleted). See all events at template:

We would be unable to link this page (or any of the other pages they created) to wikidata as the main page is already linked and only one article can be linked to the WD item.

This page was deleted because it was added in the obvious Advertising section. However, I think this was a mistake although I may have overwritten it but in my defense I simply did that because when this platform actually launches it will over take the whole fashion industry in Egypt and so this online platform which aims to promote local clothing brands in the country but not only that it also offers a comprehensive directory of all local clothing brands and connecting consumers with designers and providing them with a platform to showcase their work.

This page was deleted because it was lacking notability. However, I think there are several things that make him notable, one of them being the fact that he was a high school valedictorian (Though that reason alone doesn’t make him notable). So, I think that the article should be restored for the time being so that I have more time to add sources and information that shows that he is notable before the article is deleted. BayPackers1444 (talk) 03:10, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
- I looked at the article. There was nothing in it that established notability. Also, the only source was the person's own Instagram page, and Instagram does not support notability even for a claim of something notable. If you want to work on the article to make it notable, I recommend doing so in your userspace.
- What is there to add that would show notability for this person? Remember that to show notability, you need two things: a claim of something that would meet Wikipedia's definition of notability, and a reliable source supporting that claim. -- Auntof6 (talk) 03:45, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
- William Smith was a National Merit Semifinalist for getting a near perfect score on his PSAT test. He is also an athlete and the best player on the high school soccer team. Additionally, he designed a creative science experiment in his chemistry class sophomore year. He’s notable, so stop saying he is not, and restore the article so that I can add these things to it and show that he is notable. BayPackers1444 (talk) 20:57, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
- I don't believe any of those things are notable, either. When we talk about notability, we're talking about Wikipedia's definition of notability. We all have someone we know that we consider notable for ourselves, but they aren't necessarily notable in a larger sense no matter how much we might personally admire them. If you haven't read Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Notability (people), please read those for information on what makes someone notable for purposes of articles here.
- Another way to look at it is this: would you expect to see an article on this person in an encyclopedia? Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, just like any other, except online where anyone can edit it. The guidelines for inclusion, though, are the same. -- Auntof6 (talk) 21:46, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

- William Smith was a National Merit Semifinalist for getting a near perfect score on his PSAT test. He is also an athlete and the best player on the high school soccer team. Additionally, he designed a creative science experiment in his chemistry class sophomore year. He’s notable, so stop saying he is not, and restore the article so that I can add these things to it and show that he is notable. BayPackers1444 (talk) 20:57, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

This page was deleted with the believe (I don't think...) that the person didn't need notability. An AfD didn't take place. I think this article should not have been deleted quickly because
- 1) The articles deletion was based on her achievement, however WP:GNG is about coverage, not about achievements.
- 2) The person is from the earliest women's fencing history. There have been in the 1910 only be a few international women's fencers. With covereage on women's fencing in that era in national newspapers, you are quickly notable when fencing internationally.
- 3) It's about a British fencer, with the information in the article only based on Dutch language secondary sources. It's likely there is more coverage about her in English newspapers or offline sources, already because she is mentioned as a "famous fencer".
- 4) Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Athletes states: “Sports people may be notable if they have participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level” SportsOlympic (talk) 16:05, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
- She was rated 8th best in a competition with a single country (Holland). That's not rubbish, but it's not notable. Macdonald-ross (talk) 17:27, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
- Good that you reply here, as you didn’t reply to my message about this on your talk page. The reasoning you are giving is a reasoning for AfD; not for a quick deletion. Note it's was not a competition with a single country (Netherlands, Belgium, UK). These were the only three nations competing internationally in women's fencing in the 1910s (next to 1 German fencer living in Belgium and 1 American fencer living in the UK). It was one of the top-3 international highest level competitions in the 1910s. If you want to state it in achievements, she was the third ranked British fencer of 1914.SportsOlympic (talk) 13:11, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
- She was rated 8th best in a competition with a single country (Holland). That's not rubbish, but it's not notable. Macdonald-ross (talk) 17:27, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Delete: Endorsement by blocked users. I repeat: She was rated 8th best in a competition with a single country (Holland). That's not rubbish, but it's not notable. Macdonald-ross (talk) 15:10, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
Leaning towards overturning this decision. No QD criteria was provided and I do think their part in a national competition is a credible claim of significance. Whether the subject is notable or not is a discussion to be had at RfD. --IWI (talk) 15:15, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Take to RFD - I struggled to find any links to prove anything but the claims seem to be notable enough to consider. Probably didn't meet the requirements for a quick deletion. Needs further investigation. Blissyu2 (talk) 04:27, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

This category was deleted for not being defining, with a few other categories. However, we have categories about cause of death, which are not as defining as this category, in my opinion, as Lights and freedom pointed out here: User talk:Lights and freedom#People with dyslexia. Before I get any comments about this category already existing, I created it as I didn't realise it had been deleted on creation. By the time I realised it had previously been deleted, I had already added the category to about 60 pages. Instead of quickly deleting it and rollbacking all my edits, I thought it'd be best to ask the community's opinion first. Thanks, --Ferien (talk) 16:45, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

- The closest I could find that still exists is Santal people, an ethnic group/people mostly in north Indian states; Of the 7 million total, about 130.00 are in Bangladesh, and about 50.000 are in Nepal, the rest are in India. The article you mention was deleted at an RfD, and the huge consensus of the RfD was to delete. So, what new information is there, that we ould re-consider this (The Rfd was closed end of November 2022)? - I currently see on reason to undelete the article.

Not a test page. Lights and freedom (talk) 18:41, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- Remain deleted - the article would have been deleted under other criteria. As a re-worked article, it would be titled differently. The subject itself can fit within other existing articles. Griff (talk) 16:11, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
- Restore Could not have been deleted under any other criteria. While the article certainly isn't perfect, particularly the title, this is not what quick deletion exists for. --Ferien (talk) 16:48, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
- I don't know why we would restore this. I don't think I could ever argue for the restoration of an article that begins with the phrase "One of the most biggest things". I'd argue it may be a case of A1, as even reading it a few times I don't have a clue what its about. The meaning of the page doesn't exist. I don't think the deletion criteria is 100% correct, but I think it needs to stay deleted.--Gordonrox24 | Talk 03:43, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

So 2022 WhatsApp Outage needs to undeleted. Also it's not a test page. Bakhos2010 (talk) 04:12, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
- Why everyone ignore me? Just undeleted 2022 WhatsApp Outage. PLEASE Bakhos2010 (talk) 13:12, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Bakhos2010: You aren't necessarily being ignored. Entries on this page are discussions and might not get comments right away. Discussions generally stay open for at least a week. Maybe people haven't seen this yet, maybe they're thinking about it; we don't know. Let the process happen. -- Auntof6 (talk) 16:25, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
- So, very clearly I think this is not a test page. Nothing about it is a test. I think @Macdonald-ross: should perhaps be more careful in selecting quick deletion criteria. This article, in my opinion, would be an easy candidate for RfD. That said, Deletion review is supposed to be for reviews of RfD, not reviews of QD. I do have half a mind to restore the page and send it to RfD just to push the point that proper procedure must be followed. In any case, I expect it to be deleted.... but that's a discussion we should have had at RfD. --Gordonrox24 | Talk 01:58, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
- While I agree with Gordon's comments regarding the process of the deletion, after review of the article content, it is my opinion the article would not have been kept in the RFD process. For this case, I don't see a need to conduct a process for process' sake. Griff (talk) 09:56, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

undeletd Yaduvanshi Ahir page, copy content will be removed.— Preceding unsigned comment added by विक्रम सिंह बनाफर (talk • contribs) 13:35, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
- There is an EnWp article en:Yaduvanshi Aheer, but that also is quite cryptic: What are we talking about? - a tribe, a clan, a caste...? - Compare that to for example en:Fugger family or en:House of Medici (both were important families in Medieval Europe). So, uless there's a clear idea of what the article should actually cover, there's no reason for restoring it. --Eptalon (talk) 15:21, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
- Eptalon makes a good point about defining the subject of the article. It should be noted that the article was deleted due to G12, and as a result, there is no issue with starting a new article with content that meets Wikipedia's policies. I believe the DRV process is unnecessary. Griff (talk) 09:56, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

- Endorse deletion. The subject, a supposed superhero, is likely a hoax. Even if real, nothing in the article indicated any kind of notability. It had a misleading link (supposedly to a related character, but actually to an astronomical object).

- Just a recommendation: you should make a sandbox page in your userspace (mine is for example User:InfernoGaming46/Sandbox). This will let you edit the page there, as the current times you've created the page it has been too complex and required simplification, which is why it was deleted.

This category was RFD'd on 18 June 2023. On 26 June 2023, the RFD was closed by Ferien with a result of delete. Yesterday I noticed that the category had not yet been deleted, and asked Ferien if it was still on their to-do-list. Ferien replied that they hadn't deleted it yet because they hadn't found how the category was populated. You can see our conversation about that at User talk:Ferien/Archives/2023#Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2023/Category:Comics nation sweep. The end result is that it looks like this category should be kept after all, for the following reasons (further detail in the linked conversation):
- The category is populated by a process that we now understand. We could change that process, but if and when the templates involved are ever refreshed from enwiki, as we sometimes do to keep ours up to date, the process would revert to populating the category again, or at least trying to.
- On the RFD, the reason given for deleting the category was "Copy of an enwiki maintenance category". That doesn't seem like a valid reason to delete something; it may be a copy, but that's not a problem if we need it here, too. The RFD had only one comment, which just said "not needed".
So even though the category hasn't been deleted yet, I thought a deletion review would be appropriate because a decision had been made to delete. --Auntof6 (talk) 20:53, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Was actively being worked on for simplification and had existed even before a complex version was pasted over other users' edits. I could recreate the page but the original creator of the article will lose their creation credit. Admins can go through the various revisions and note that I and QuicoleJR had already been making edits for simplification when the page was deleted.--NØ 14:24, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
- I looked at the text, and I agree that it still needed much simplifying. In particular, there were a lot of sentences that were not simple sentences. I suggest restoring it to a user sandbox for further work. If that would be acceptable, please indicate which user would like it in their sandbox and what they would like the sandbox to be named. -- Auntof6 (talk) 23:06, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
