Wikipedia:Deletion review/Content review

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Content review

NOTE: This page is a template designed for inclusion in Wikipedia:Deletion review. Keep it very short and don't remove the header!

Editors who wish to have an article temporarily restored may place a request in this section. Common reasons are to use that content elsewhere, because the user suspects that an article has been wrongly deleted but is unable to tell without seeing what exactly was deleted, or because the full history may be needed for proper transwikiing.

Note that only uncontroversial content should be restored — not revisions deleted as copyright violation, potentially libellous content or similar. Using restored article text to recreate a deleted article without addressing the problems that resulted in its deletion can result in the article being speedy deleted. Keeping deleted content in your userspace if you have no immediate intention of using it for encyclopaedic purposes is frowned on, as Wikipedia is not a free web host. If kept too long, the page may be nominated for deletion at miscellany for deletion. Add {{db-userreq}} to the top of the subpage when you no longer need it.

  • Job For A Cowboy - Deleted, yet are the top Death Metal band on myspace - with over 100000 friends, and over 2 million view on there profile, they are signed to a record company, yet there page has been deleted, and protected from being reinstated. I'm sure there will be some reasonable explanation for this. Asics 21:06, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pablo Ganguli - please place at User:Zeouspom/Pablo Ganguli. User is new, and I am assisting on this, per discussion on that user's talk page. User has provided numerous cites meeting WP:RS, which were missing when article was deleted in November. John Broughton | Talk 18:56, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I recommend against this. The article has been used innumerable times for promotional purposes, including by Zeouspom (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), and (putting WP:AGF aside for once) little else is likely to come from a user who admits he works for Mr Ganguli; see also WP:COI. Also, the media coverage (I assume it's still the same set of links) was known, but dismissed, during the AfD. Sandstein 19:19, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • I had already fulfilled the request moments before you left this post. I'm willing to give John a chance to see if there is any chance of proving notability as per this discussion he had with the user. - Aksi_great (talk) 19:22, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • I deleted the userfied version and restored the edit history behind the protection. It can be reviewed here. ~ trialsanderrors 20:23, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • At the risk of appearing credulous, after reading some (new) sources, I do believe that there really is a valid, useful article that could be created here. I've started with a userfied version that removes every speck of PR spin that I could identify. I have warned Zeouspom (repeatedly) that he is not to try to post anything to mainspace that deals in any way with Pablo Ganguli without discussing it with me (which means "no, we go through DRV first"), and have referred him to WP:NPOV and WP:V. I've further told him that if he doesn't follow my advice, I'll probably abandon him. If he cooperates, I think people will be happy with what emerges - so we'll see.

  • Lothlorien Hall - Please undelete at User:Mike Dillon/Lothlorien Hall. I'd like to see if it can be changed to reflect notability. I feel that the AfD's for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lothlorien Hall and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lothlórien Co-op were not dealt with in a consistent manner, since they seem to have equal notability to me (which is admitted not much). Also, if this USCA cooperative article was not notable, none of the other ones probably are except Cloyne Court Hotel, Barrington Hall, and possibly Le Chateau. If that is determined to be the case, some of the content should be merged to the USCA article, not deleted outright. I'll remove all templates and categories once the article is restored.

  • Dungeon Keeper 3 - Not sure why this page was deleted, I would like to take a look at the content that was in it. - ARC Gritt 04:20, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Advanced Placement Gaming League - Seeing as the APGL is a legitimate and bonafide organization, I thought it would be interesting to have an encyclopedia page for it. I request undeletion for either permanent or temporary. Yet at the very least, I would like to retrieve my content on the page. Thank you. - --PRB216 00:30, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned Wikipedia talk pages

I hope the subheading here is OK - I can't explain myself with just one bullet point yet this should be hopefully uncontroversial so it won't need much further discussion. Anyway I tried to follow a link from Wikipedia talk:Blocking policy/archive 1 to Wikipedia talk:Clarity in Policy Discussion but discovered it had been deleted because it was among a list of orphaned talk pages. I've been perusing the list for talk pages with more than one incoming link (meaning they were referenced somewhere and could be valuable). I'd like the following Wikipedia talk pages to be undeleted:
