I am clearly the copyright owner and have the right to donate this article to wikipedia -Tombaine (talk) 23:45, 25 September 2010 (UTC)


I am the owner of this copyrighted material. These editors keep referring to an article I submitted to another site (I'm listed as the owner of the work on that site) and keep falsely accusing me of plagiarism. If they had enough sense and looked at the other article, they'd easily see that I wrote the thing. I'm getting tired of this nonsense. This article is about one of the first doctors in Tattnall County, Georgia, in the pre-Civil War south. I'm tired of being disrespected by "editors" who are sloppy in what they do and just go around deleting other peoples' work at whims. I am very angry about this. I insist that the article be reposted, along with the picture.

Please read the top of this page. This process has nothing to do with the pending deletion of any page but for pages that have been deleted already.

Floating Point Studios

Hi,

I inputted a Wiki of our game development company basied in Swansea, South Wales UK called Floating Point Studios. We are developing several innovative and original titles. The page was outright deleted. I cannot find any remains of the page through deletion review or any other tools. Here is our website: www.floatingpointstudios.co.uk

Why was the page immediately deleted?

Why are other more established game developers allowed to have huge and detailed Wiki pages?

Why was no reason given for the deletion?

Please could you look into this.

I can be contacted at <email address remove for security>

Thanks in advance! Chris Davies

 Not done The page was deleted as blatant advertising per section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, as shown at its deletion log entry here, but it also could have been deleted under CSD section A7 as an article on a company that did not indicate any importance or significance. Wikipedia (not wiki) is an encyclopedia and only has articles on notable and verifiable topics that reliable, third party sources have published about in detail. Putting aside the promotional tone of the article, and your conflict of interest in writing it, this article does not appear to meet our policies and guidelines for inclusion. I checked Google books and news Archive and there is no mention of the company. You also mentioned in the article that the company is "currently developing" two games, implying that it is "up and coming". Please understand that none of this is a comment on the merit of your company, but only that it does not meet the criteria for inclusion in an encyclopedia.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 12:01, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

His talk page is preserved, as in not deleted Here is his talk page's history from which you can access it as of every date it was ever edited. This is what is meant by preservation. It would make little sense for users coming across Jujube's edits who wanted to drop him a note to not be informed that he is deceased, and thus end up leaving a message.

Andre Keuck

Because I watched Zero day which was quite a major film, and I was impressed with the improvisational acting of Andre Keuck and Cal Robertson, so I went to read about them, Cal Robertsons page was there but Andre Keucks had been removed, and I wanted to read about such a talent, it's not really helpful to have talented actors who are in good films not listed on a page such as this. It was originally deleted because there was apparently: "no indication that it met the criteria for inclusion" well I don't know what genius has come to that conclusion, when he is the starring role in a film you have listed and his co star also has a page, seems a bit odd don't you think -86.133.229.22 (talk) 00:52, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

No I don't think. People start articles on all kinds of worthy topics but what they write is: I LOVE HIM! or (insert all capital letters defamatory insult); they infringe on a person or company's copyright by copying and pasting text from an external source, they gush praise but assert no facts (much less cite to reliable sources for the material they add as is required for both notability and verification purposes and is especially required for articles on living persons); they post nonsense and they write one uninformative sentence and that's all; and more. We delete thousands of articles a day for these reasons. This particular article was about a living person but contained no sources. It was literally three sentences in total and it had no sources in violation of the BLP policy, and it failed to indicate why this actor was important in any way. So it may be that he's a worthy subject for a good article that comports with our policies but this wasn't it. You are free to create an account and write a proper article, but this one will not be undeleted.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:03, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

This page was wrongfully deleted as a prank, probably motivated by inter-faculty rivalry within Queen's University.

TNSF is a Non-Governmental Organisation for promoting Science and Literacy. It has contributed many social projects along with the Department of Science and Technology. It is host of coming 18th National Children Science Congress, conducted every year by DST, at chennai. Telling about an active voluntary organization willnot be an advertisement, I hope. So, i request to undelete the article which was deleted before completion. -Spsarathy72 (talk) 11:39, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Steve White (Sailor)

OTRS 2010092710004544 raised with an offer to release text copyright - I would like to see the page for additional verification before confirming. This does not preclude speedy deleting if verification fails or if unsuitable for other (non-copyright) reasons. -Fæ (talk) 12:27, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

It's a very spammy advertisement/"biography" of an obscure businessman/sailor, and was created by an account whose name (White Ocean Racing) is the name of his business! --Orange Mike | Talk 13:56, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
Perhaps you would care to userfy? As for rejecting the OTRS release (presumably on the basis that it would be a G11 failure), I'll be guided by your judgement as I have not seen the article myself. Fæ (talk) 14:03, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
Very much a G11, with language like, "Despite the funding challenges which threatened to prevent him from even reaching the start line, Steve White has now firmly established himself as one of the world’s elite... placing him in the company of legends.... His results are no surprise to those who know this quiet man of sailing, but Steve’s story is by no means finished.... All this has been achieved without a major sponsor. Just imagine what could be possible with one.........with the support of his family and friends". --Orange Mike | Talk 14:09, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
Okay, I'll reject the OTRS request on the basis that undeletion is refused on G11 grounds rather than just copyright. I will suggest they could draft a new non-advertisement version, where a copyright release notice may be applied if they still need it, and they can then submit to RFF before attempting to re-issue.

  • 1. "Wikipedia allows for corporations to display pages" - FALSE. We have very strict rules to prevent advertisements and conflict-of-interest edits in Wikipedia.
  • 2. "several of our clients have pages on Wikipedia " FALSE. Nobody "has" articles in Wikipedia. There may or may not be articles about companies; but those articles by definition are subject to edits and to our standards about neutrality, verifiability and notability.
  • 3. That "we" in your edit, like your username, is a bad sign that you don't realize we have an absolute prohibition on accounts used by more than one human being, be it a club, a corporation, a quartet or whatever.
  • 4. James did what adminstrators are supposed to do: deleted an obvious advertisement by a prohibited editor. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:45, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Bad Trip Records

Deleted due to: Expired PROD, concern was: "no evidence that this company is notablie": -- "Bad Trip Records" is notable as the DIY label on which the Angry Samoans released the albums "Inside My Brain" and "Back from Samoa". All are unquestionably WP:N per print WP:RS--"The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock and Roll: The Definitive History of the Most Important Artists and Their Music" (1992); Bad Trip Records is also referred to in many other sources both in print and on the web, e.g., http://www.discogs.com/label/Bad+Trip+Records+%282%29 and http://rateyourmusic.com/label/bad_trip_records/. Bad Trip Records is not only notable historically, but is a going concern. Note that the article for Bad Trip was created independently--not by Bad Trip, the band, or associates--and also that this label was the first to use the name. -bonze blayk (talk) 18:04, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Done – as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored upon request. I will notify user Oo7565 (talk · contribs), who proposed it for deletion, in case they wishes to nominate it at Articles for deletion.

Oliver Brothers Fine Art Restoration

history -Mbboston (talk) 00:44, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

To Whom It May Concern,

I have created this article, to document 160 years of the history of Oliver Brothers. Oliver Brothers is a significant organization in the history of American art restoration. This article article is written in factual terms. This is not advertisement or spam, but historical factual data with references to archives in the Smithsonian Institute and the New York Historical Society. Could you please advice on reasons for labeling this company history spam? I would be very happy to improve this article by adding photos and additional documentation. Please advice.

  • This isn't really the place to answer questions like that, but my first suggestion would be to look at some reliable, independent sourcing on the subject and attempt to build the article from those sources alone. Articles written about businesses or organizations which focus heavily on the details of the proprietors or their incorporation may be viewed as more of an advertisement for that organization than a neutral encyclopedia article. Protonk (talk) 02:07, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Voodoochilli.net

I kindly wanted to ask that you review the decision to delete this page. 4 years ago when it was deleted the main reason was it was not notable, the most often cited criteria is alexa ranking Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Voodoochilli.net

"Non-notable website. Its Alexa ranking is 1,605,401. The article says that it has a volunteer staff of "a web developer, an art editor and several administrators". Google has 590 hits, most of which look self-generated. None of the criteria in WP:WEB seem to be met." I think at the time this assessment was fair but the site has grown significantly in popularity since then. I personally don't think Alexa is accurate except for the really large sites, however since 2006 the site has gained in rank by approximately 1 million places with a global rank of 635K [2] Which is far higher than many other sites listed in similar categories [3]. Google now returns 25,000 hits instead of 590 and the site has been featured in many books, magazines and newspapers see [4][5][6][7]. Additionally a page has been constructed outlining the sites history [8].

As founder of the site I admit that I am unable to write a non biased encyclopaedic description of the site and merits, however I do believe it meets all of the WP:WEB criteria and I do believe the site is notable for the following additional reasons, and would ask that someone kindly start the page:

  • It has nearly 11,000 members, more than listed on many featured on the list of social networking sites
  • It is a niche site and has importance within the online art community
  • It was one of the first free online portfolio websites to offer free uploading of images without critical or artistic judgement
  • It has over 40,000 art pages and approximately 20,000 art pieces [9][10]
  • It's image of the month competition [11]
  • Books, magazines and websites that have mentioned it [12] -Voodoochilli (talk) 11:44, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Some comments. First, although old, the deletion debate was pretty unanimous, so I don't want to unilaterally overturn it here. That said, both the site and our article standards have changed in the intervening four years. I see from your username that you may be associated with (or just be a fan of) the site. My first suggestion is that you apply for a username change or start a new account as we have pretty strict rules regarding organizational or promotional usernames. My second bit of advice is to point you toward our guidance on appropriate sourcing and inclusion. If you feel this site has enough reliable sourcing for an independent editor to build a neutral article, then start collecting those sources and make a draft article in your userspace or in the article creation wizard. If and when you think you have found enough sources, I (or any other active admin) can help you appeal the deletion at deletion review. Seems like a lot of process, but we don't want to give you bad advice or undermine the decision of those editors in the original deletion debate. Thanks. Protonk (talk) 18:25, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Sandemans New Europe

An A7 claim was made, though the artilce noted that the subject at hand had fundamentally altered tourism in Europe, obviously negating an A7. Further, I think it might be the case that the article was deleted by a good but otherwise biased deleting administrator (see, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Lankiveil ). Though this particular individual is on the list of those that maintain copies of deletions I have as of yet found not even a reference in Lankiveils contributions (whereas many other deletions are featured. Specifically, the date/time claimed for the deletion of the page under discussion is not found in Lankiveils contributions (see, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sandemans_New_Europe&action=edit&redlink=1 ). I suspect foul play given that the time that this article was deleted corrosponds to two days after the release of negative information regarding Sandemans New Europe's hiring practices and payment practices across many nations in Europe in which they operate.. -Talonxpool (talk) 16:29, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

 Not done If being "tips only walking tours" is an attempt to establish notability, then it does not do a good job. The article as deleted was pure fluff, full of WP:PROMO, and the link regarding possible unethical practices supported nothing in the article itself. Claims of impropriety by the admin is a laughable addition to this, and probably does not help when your request is supposed to be related to the article. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 16:56, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
A few things you should know Talonxpool. You won't find deletions in any admins contributions because all deleted edits are deleted and thus do not appear in anyone's contributions, be they sysop or regular users (admins and user with higher permissions can see deleted contributions by specifically visiting a "deleted contributions" link). But it's nice that you built this black and white software issue into a teetering foundation for accusing another user of foul play. You might also note that most admins don't delete pages they come across on their own. Rather, other users tag articles with speedy deletion tags asserting that a page should be deleted under specifically defined criteria, and admins will look at a batch of articles tagged and decide whether the speedy deletion criteria, as tagged, applies, whether another applies, or to decline. Here, this in fact happened. The admin was not the tagger; he just agreed with the tag placed by someone else. This makes your foul play nonsense even more risible.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:20, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
Who was that tagger? Did anyone check, was it Per or someone else who had been playing with the article. Talonxpool (talk) 15:28, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
I have nothing to add that hasn't been said by those above (thanks!), other than to say that the article was a clearcut A7 when I saw it, and I treated it accordingly. I'm generally speaking willing to provide copies of A7 articles and the like to good faith contributors to try and build a better article with, but not to those who make groundless accusations of bad faith and bias. Lankiveil (speak to me) 23:58, 29 September 2010 (UTC).
Though my expertise on wikipedia amounts to line changes, citation, and some amount of translation, I do know that the cornerstone of good editing is being aware of an articles history and those that have edited it in the past. The Article Sandemans New Europe was originally created by an employee of Sandemans named Per, when others attempted to factualize the page and make it wikipedia-material, per and presumably others would sabotage the effort. A simple look at the articles history could have yielded this to be the case. The article was, in my opinion, under constant sabotage. Ultimately you aided in the sabotage, unwittingly or not, by deleting the page, which many users had been attempting to alter in concordance with the companies legal problems. On these grounds, and on the grounds that this company is a multinational entity that has irreversably impacted the tourism industry in Europe and Isreal, I would like to request again that it be undeleted. I will make the article a priority as long as the article is locked. I also apologize for accusing Lankeviel for being one of the unethical and disreputable staff that work in Sandemans PR department. Currently if one looks up Sandemans on google, the first page yields only the companies own propaganda and websites about itself, before this the Wiki article was in the top ten and provided more balanced information (depending on how heavily Sandemans staff had been editing the article). Talonxpool (talk) 11:03, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Let me repeat: having gone through the history (thank you very much), there is nothing notable nor salvageable in the article. If your intent is to soapbox about the company, there are plenty of websites for that. This is an encyclopedia of knowledge - not a "Walmart sucks" website. The inverse of WP:PROMO is that you also do not get the opportunity to trash a company because of percieved wrongs. The company is non-notable. The article showed no proven notability at any point in its history. Move along. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 11:15, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the notability of an article isn't established based on opinion but rather press and citation. Sandemans is certainly notable in that almost every single tour guiding company of note in Europe offers their own 'free tour', because they cannot compete otherwise. They are the single largest tour guiding company in Europe and have single handedly changed the face of tourism of which there are many articles on this topic in mainstream newsmedia. As for soapboxing, my only point was that the article was not always one sided often times it was quite objective, however, having read the history and discussion, you would have easily noted, that Sandemans employ Per Hogdkins was deleting and censoring material which he found, "unfair" to use his own words. Let it also be noted that you have put words into my mouth, regarding my intentions, you have built a strawman purposely or not and your argumentation concerning myself and soapboxing is, therefore, fallacious. I never said anything about trashing a company, but lets not get into some side argument so you can deflect from the point. I do not wish to soapbox I simply wish Wikipedia to have good articles about notable things and that companys do not take over or delete such articles to further there own interests. The article is clearly notable in that Sandemans altered the face of tourism in Europe, to claim otherwise clearly shows your lack of expertise in this area. Please just put the article back up, locked preferably, be reasonable. Talonxpool (talk) 15:20, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Having searched Google News Archive, it does appear to me, at least on a quick glance, that it may be possible to produce a a proper article on Sandemans. What you need to understand is that the article that you seek to have undeleted wasn't that proper article. There is nothing preventing anyone from going ahead and creating a new proper article. No undeletion is needed for that task. Also note that the "repost" criterion for speedy deletion is not applicable to articles deleted without discussion, i.e., deleted through the CSD. So if someone posts an new article on Sandemans, a non-promotional article, citing to reliable sources, not a copyvio, not an attack, etc., that article may be kept. That is the route to be followed here, if any.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 16:22, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
That's really all I wanted to hear, it would be nice to use the other article as a template, that's really the only reason I wanted to undelete it. The other article had serious problems mostly due to Sandemans staff actively editing it (of which I have direct knowledge), hopefully this can be prevented a second time around.

Why was this page deleted? Andy Brown (musician), Canadian Folk Rock Group

Says that the page was deleted due to copyright infringement? The link it provides links to a festival that Andy played at in July. There is no way this infringes upon copyrights because Andy owns all of the copyrights, especially his photos, and bio, which were the only two things listed on the site in question! Please undelete. -Laura.noseworthy (talk) 17:33, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

List of carsharing operators

I've been researching car-sharing companies for an ongoing school project, and this site was extremely crucial to my research. It's the only place where I can find a list of car-sharing companies all in one place. Apparently the page was deleted due to the minimal amount of wikilinks, however I don't think that was a major problem for me. I just needed the names of the companies so I can Google them for more information. Can this page please be restored? Thank you! -208.185.196.6 (talk) 19:00, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

From the number of single-purpose accounts popping up to agitate about this article, it is clear that there is a campaign going on. Let me repeat here the advice given in the current deletion review: several discussions have determined that Bitcoin is not (yet) notable by Wikipedia's standards. Making more requests will not change that. You would do better to spend your energy on writing articles about Bitcoin and getting them published in some reliable industry journals (i.e. those with enough editorial control to be accepted here as reliable sources). When you have achieved that, you can cite them as references and there will be no problem here. Your mistake is to try to use Wikipedia as the start of your promotion campaign - that's not what it's for. JohnCD (talk) 15:56, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Also, Mr. Branka has released a new CD called "Mystery Piano", which is a new music genre of experimental kind-of music.

Not done - this article has not been restored because it does not appear to meet our guidelines for inclusion of articles concerning music. 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 musicians or music groups 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. Nevertheless, the article isn't protected but keep in mind our guidelines on conflict of interest and role accounts.--Tikiwont (talk) 12:53, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Sure, there are. This same argument would not allow to start any list, however all understand the wikipedia is based on incremental knowledge, allowing for increasing the number of references listed. Following the argumentation by Bwilkins you may start to delete the +150 different entries of lists of books in the wikipedia, including some very short listed. Please check.

The article was speedied under G11 (spam). Though I don't particularly care about the subject as University departments aren't really notable, it is a prominent stand-alone entity within a University. If anything, it was not unambiguous spam. There were half decent references, more were proposed in Dutch that needed attention and translation. Prod was declined and I think this article should go through AfD rather than speedy if at all. The main contributor was strong COI, but several editors checked his edits.

The initial article's creator, one with a severe COI and NPOV problem, would not leave it alone.

List of Murphy Brown episodes

I wish for this certain article named "List of Murphy Brown episodes" to be undeleted because it would not be fair that this particular article of what was, in its time, a magnificent show does not have a episode list. I see all the other articles on television prorams and they all include an episode list. It would be deemed very unfair if television fanatics could not be able to see which season their most liked episode is in.

Notwithstanding the fact that I think the deleting admin was acting rashly (didn't check for first PROD, salted after only 3 deletions which isn't that many, salting indefinitely rather than for a determined length of time), a lot can happen in two years. In that time, he's become "One of grime’s most active and respected producer/MCs", (Allmusic's words, not mine), and released a full-length album that has gotten plenty of independent media coverage. It's no trouble to establish his notability, as these reviews should show, and as such I'd appreciate it if you could extend me the benefit of the doubt so I don't have to come back. Chubbles (talk) 12:12, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
Would it be possible for you to leave a quick note on the deleting admin's talk page. It appears s/he's recently active. That might be the quickest path to an easy resolution. If they don't respond in a timely manner I'd be willing to unprotect and undelete the article. Protonk (talk) 18:26, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
Well, he's only edited a few times in the last four weeks, and the last several notes on his talk page are all PROD requests...I think my chances there might be slim. If the deleted article is terrible, I can start from scratch; I really just need the protection lifted. Should I got to RFPP instead? Chubbles (talk) 18:33, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
I just emailed you the text of the article. Jmlk17 (talk · contribs) (the admin who last protected and deleted the article) looks to be active. You can leave them a note if you like. You can go to RFPP if you want, but I just think this is easier. Protonk (talk) 18:42, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
