David_Ramadan (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (XfD|restore)

David Ramadan is an important Arab American contributor both to the business world and political world. He is building a successful business while also providing valuable insight into Arab/American relations and providing expertise back to the Arab world on American politics. I strongly believe that Mr. Ramadan meets all the criteria to be listed in Wikipedia. ~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ddonofrio (talkcontribs)

Comment - The appealer also created a "Listed at DRV" page at the protested article. This action is really only useful when an admin restores the page history for review during a DRV debate. It's not useful when the review page has no history behind it. So I have A3 CSD deleted the latest version of the page. It is the earlier A7 CSD deletion that is specifically being brought for review. - TexasAndroid (talk) 14:26, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
and so I did just that. That was the obvious reasonable intent. DGG ( talk ) 03:28, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not well familiar with the normal criteria used to decide which DRV articles do or do not get their history restored. I know it's only a small minority of reviews. So I did not feel comfortable making that call myself. DGG is one of the admins who most often does such history restores, from what I've seen. So if he has decided it should be restored in the current case, that's more than good enough for me. - TexasAndroid (talk) 14:25, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • undelete A bit of searching on google turned up coverage in Al Jazeera, msnbc and Huffington post. While I am unsure if there is enough coverage for a proper article this is not an a7 candidate. Yoenit (talk) 15:46, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • undelete and rewrite The article was based on his website. Though OTRS permission was given, as shown in the edit history, the tone remains highly unsuitable alike that of a press release. But it never was an A7 speedy--it always asserted considerable notability . (I just now notified the admin who did the a7 deletion). DGG ( talk ) 03:36, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • undelete per Yoenit and DGG. JoshuaZ (talk) 21:20, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
