Gary Barnacle

reason below -–pjoef (talk • contribs) 12:25, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Gary Barnacle is a well known English musician who worked (and still works) as a session saxophonist/instrumentalist or toured with bands and artists such as Level 42, The Clash (on their album Sandinista!, where he is listed among the guest musicians together with his brother, Bill), The Ruts (he was member of The Ruts DC), Elvis Costello, Soft Machine, Public Image Ltd., Madness, Kim Wilde, Jamiroquai, David Bowie, Björk, Tina Turner, Phil Collins, Swing Out Sister, Paul Hardcastle, Visage, Rick Astley, Pet Shop Boys, and ABC, just to mention a few names. Isn't enough? Well, A simple google search produces about 48,000 results, while google books produces about 163 results. Also, there is a page dedicated to him at Discogs (plus pages on Allmusic, Facebook, Myspace, MusicBrainz, and about 190 articles on the English Wikipedia (now red)link to that page. That article (Stub/Start-Class) was also compliant with Biographies of living persons' English Wikipedia policy because it had no more than a list of music projects, bands, artists, and associated acts to which he contributed. In February (2011), when I noticed that it was deleted, I've also contacted the administrator who deleted it and asked him to place a {{talkback}} on my talk page as a courtesy and to be alerted of his reply, but he did not (and you know that this is not good at all!) I hope this is enough to get that article back. What I can promise is that I will work on that article using some of these books/references. Thank you in advance and happy editing. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 12:25, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

The deletion for the page is provided below for your reference.

Userfied - the page has been restored to the userspace at User:Pjoef/Gary Barnacle. It's a contested prod and I note that Courcelles answered swiftly on what he'd expect to restore it which is actually what you commit to now, although at a glance I see mostly passing mentions. Afterwards feel free to move it to mainspace. --Tikiwont (talk) 21:11, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Thank you. As I said, I will work on it and try to make it worthy of Wikipedia (by adding reliable sources and etcetera). If I succeed then I will move it to mainspace. Happy editing. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 07:07, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Sideshow Collectibles

The content has been updated to comply with Wikipedia policy -MarissaBlack (talk) 23:56, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

The first version has been deleted as blatant advertising, the second per WP:CSD#A7, basically because it merley said that it is a a manufacturer of "collectible products (..)sold through its website and in specialty retail stores worldwide." What is needed now is a neutral third version aimed at WP:CORP based on independent sources. This is usually done best by uninvolved editors. --Tikiwont (talk) 09:07, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Template:Girls Aloud singles

This template was originally used to help split a large navbox. Someone objected and removed it from all the pages it was on (20+). It is needed again. I will perfect it if it is brought back. - I Help, When I Can. [12] 03:48, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Done i'm not sure that it is needed, but in case of doubt it can bed brought to TfD. --Tikiwont (talk) 09:13, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

GreenPeak

Dear Wikipedia, this is a sincere request to undelete the GreenPeak page. The GreenPeak page as it was created has been through the "speedy undelete" process and I would like to recover the content first. My first question is if you could send back teh content. My second question is about the content of the GreenPeak page, which is - to my opinion- not just commercial or advertising. It tries to provide information on GreenPeak's unique vision of low power silicon for wireless communication and that is backed by the long list of external publications in leading industry magazines. If the GreenPeak page would be removed, I think that 95% of company pages should be removed from Wikipedia... I will be happy to reconsider the content and bring in even more input from neutral sources - But please please please, can you restore the Wiki page? This is very important for a small and growing company like GreenPeak. I appreciate your help and understanding. [email protected] -Ellyschietse (talk) 09:55, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

You have a severe conflict of interest, and somebody in your position, especially working for an up-and-coming/next big thing kind of company, is the worst possible person to be creating an article such as this. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:20, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

The Millionaires

Requesting unprotection and redirection to either Millionaires (band) or millionaire, whichever you feel is most appropriate; either way, this common search term should point to something. -Chubbles (talk) 19:07, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

 Done This was an old bot delete of the redirect (G8) that happened after the target article was deleted, which is now restored - redirects to the band currently. Skier Dude (talk) 04:40, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

CvWiki

CvWiki was the first Open Source wiki engine. It was the first wiki used as an Agile Project Wiki (at HP in 1997). It pioneered features that are now common to all wiki engines including versioning and edit collision prevention. It was the GPL'ed basis for AtisWiki and UseModWiki, and thereby contributed directly to the MediaWiki engine and the open content ethic. And it pioneered "WaybackMode", which is used today in MediaWiki to maintain the context of historical discussions. Its history is documented on C2 at http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?CvWiki. -PeterMerel (talk) 00:42, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

 Not done Since this was discussed at WP:Articles for deletion/CvWiki, the issue must be taken to WP:Deletion review. Thanks, Skier Dude (talk) 04:36, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
I am prepared to userify it unless Skier Dude specifically objects. this page may indeed be employed to request userification of afd'd articles. Prodded articles are restored on request to mainspace, but afd's ones cannot without discussion--but they can be restored to user space. DGG ( talk ) 23:30, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Nudity in The Simpsons

your reasoning for asking to undelete it -71.20.85.85 (talk) 19:08, 30 April 2011 (UTC) /71.20.85.85|71.20.85.85]] (talk) 19:07, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

This page was deleted for unknown reasons, possibly due to its questionable content. However, it contained nothing crude or offensive. Please bring it back.

Deleted following an AFD consensus to delete; therefore not eligible for this undeletion process. Since the requestor apparently wants the deleted content restored as it was, this should apparently go to WP:DRV. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 19:34, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Govend

reasoning -196.210.163.149 (talk) 08:48, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

This word was deleted in 2008. It is still in current, active use, not only on alt.usage.english (mentioned just today), but also elsewhere on the internet. It may have made sense to delete it in 2008, but it is surely worth reviewing the decision since the word itself, and the game, seem unprepared to lie down and die because of the wikipaedia decision.

What word was deleted in 2008? The article Govend was input in 2006 as a redirect to Kurdish dance, as you can see in its history, and has never been deleted. JohnCD (talk) 10:14, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
The deletion was for Govende, a word game: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Govende —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.210.163.149 (talk) 10:55, 1 May 2011 (UTC) (copied from my talk page - JohnCD)
As that was deleted after a deletion discussion it can't be restored here. The administrator who closed the discussion has retired, so you would have to go to WP:Deletion review. But if this is to have an article you would need to show that it is notable, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", and from a quick search I doubt whether you can do that. Yes, there are Google hits, but not many of them are about this game: in the first three pages I count only two from the Forum Games section of forums.xkcd.com and one which is an obvious Wikipedia mirror site - all the rest are about Kurdish music or other subjects. See also WP:NEO for Wikipedia's reluctance to include new words like this until there is clear evidence that they are well established. If you can find independent references, would like to take it to Deletion Review, and need help to do that, leave a message on my talk page. JohnCD (talk) 20:41, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Ronnie Lee (football coach)

*Ronnie Lee (football coach) · ( talk | logs | links | watch ) · [revisions] Somebody snuck a PROD through when we weren't looking. -Paul McDonald (talk) 23:47, 1 May 2011 (UTC) --Paul McDonald (talk) 23:47, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Something doesn't wash here. According to the article's history, you seconded the PROD. Still, I would have no problem restoring it but it is an unsourced WP:BLP though a very short one. Could you provide one? Here's the text of the article....
Ronnie Lee is a co-defensive coordinator along with Kevin Cosgrove for the Minnesota Golden Gophers football team. He was previously the defensive backs coach for the team.. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:15, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

The Yogscast

I have watched many videos on Youtube of these wonderful Brits. They have worked hard to hit the worldwide top charts list multiple times. Simon and Lewis in NO WAY deserve this. I challenge you to give me five better reasons why they shouldn't have a page. Bring it on. Wikipedia, there are thousands of human brains who would GLaD(OS)ly challenge you to this. Simon Lane and Lewis Brindley should be able to have their devoted Yognaughts stand by their best friends' sides. Honeydew and Xephos should be represented on Wikipedia. -Alecbug (talk) 01:12, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

 Not done You've come here with the wrong idea—that the article was deleted based on an assessment of the merits of the subject and it was found wanting. That is not the case. Instead the merits of the content of the article is all that has been assessed and which resulted in deletion. The version of the article that was first deleted had no content which indicated that they were important or significant. The version that was deleted the second time said little about any importance other than childish scrawl about their "epicness"—this was not credible material; it was unsalvagable, unencyclopedically written and blatantly promotional. The third version was just vandalistic nonsense. If you want to create an article that sticks, then write a sober article that cites to reliable sources that verify the information content and shows the subject's notability.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 04:40, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Everett Coleman

reasoning -Resser123 (talk) 22:26, 29 April 2011 (UTC)


Everett is a well-known, licensed, professional coach for Major League Gaming. He is a member of MLG's pro team Str8 Rippin which is arguably the most well known and greatest Halo team of all time alongside Final Boss. Also, several of his teammates have pages on Wikipedia. He is a public icon in the gaming world alongside Tsquared, Strongside, Ghostayame, etc. all of which he has teamed with. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsquared and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostayame for more information. Small has been featured on multiple gaming websites such as ThePerfectLevel.com, MLGInsider.com, and more.

These links are two interviews of Everett on MLG Insider. http://mlginsider.com/insider-sits-down-with-smalls/ http://mlginsider.com/heads-up-w-vanity-gaming-founders/

By looking at the following URL's you can see that Everett Coleman is a member of Str8 Rippin and plenty worthy of being on Wikiepedia.

Why has this not been responded to yet?

Not done - this page was deleted in accordance with criterion for speedy deletion A7. If you believe that this decision was found in error, or that significant new information has come to light since the deletion, please contact the administrator who implemented the deletion request, user UtherSRG (talk · contribs). As you have already done so, your concerns can be taken to deletion review. Which has much more chance to succeed if you can present some reliable independent sources, none of above seems to fit that criterion.. --Tikiwont (talk) 10:07, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Multiple FP/POTD Image Pages

Hi all. I have already left a request at Wikipedia_talk:Featured_picture_candidates#Admin_request about this, but thought some Admins here may be more conversant with the issue.

It seems that User:MPUploadBot ran wild from 19 December 2010 to 10 January 2011, proceeding to delete the image pages of all the POTDs during that period following their time on the Mainpage. The images are therefore lacking their WP:FP status, WP:POTD status, etc. Relevant images can be found at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/December 2010 and Wikipedia:Picture of the day/January 2011.

A few of the images have had the image page recreated, but without the page history and usually lacking some other information. If someone would like go through that 20 or so image pages and undelete them it would be much appreciated. -jjron (talk) 11:57, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Octane render

The wikipedia page on 'octane render' was just to document the features, technical specifications, user interface, and rendering samples- so that it is made available for ready refernce (thru wikipedia) and is well documented in an encyclopedic manner- without any bias or commercial intent.

It was not meant for advertising or promotion, and is done by some members of user community without any commercial intent whatsoever. Octane render is in fact a ground breaking software, and even the first of its kind ever to be released for public- which works exclusively on CUDA- Nvidia platform. It works on GPU (graphics processing unit) instead of the traditional CPU for rendering. On the other hand, there are over 14 other wikipedia pages under the category 'Rendering systems' of which Octane render was also a part of (before deletion). All these rendering systems are also documented in a very similar way- octane render was documented. Showcasing their render interface, the features (which are different from one another), update history, rendering samples etc. This provided a good ready reference (and formal documentation) to any new user or even a researcher in this subject of 'rendering systems'. This is the category, of which 'octane render' was a part of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Rendering_systems (This has following other rendering engines: Brazil R/S, False radiosity, Flamingo (raytracer), Fryrender, Holomatix Rendition, Indigo Renderer, Fryrender, Kerkythea, LuxRender, Maxwell Render, Mental ray, PhotoRealistic RenderMan, Picogen, V-Ray, YafaRay ) You can check all these links under rendering systems- and will find that the way 'Octane render' was described and documented in a similar format as other 14 render engines, is not intended to be 'undue udvertising or promotion'. Kindly consider for undeletion, in view of the above. -Suhail spa (talk) 13:00, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

I see you've meanwhile contacted the deleting admin, Deb, which is perfect as this board her is merely for uncontroversial restorations and not not for contesting a deletion or for pointing out other articles that may be in need of scrutiny. --Tikiwont (talk) 12:28, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

LogicalDOC

The article was about a notable software, widely used, and it recently gained the Bossie Awards 2010 as reported by another Wikipedia article: Infoworld_Bossie_Awards -Sprmw7 (talk) 09:49, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

 Not done. This page has been protected against re-creation because it seemed to be for promotional purposes - it was created by a number of single-purpose accounts and cited no references except company announcements and the like. If you think you can show notability, which for Wikipedia requires evidence of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources, you should approach user Ihcoyc (talk), the administrator who protected it. If you are connected with the company, please read WP:COI and WP:BESTCOI, and be aware that Wikipedia is extremely resistant to being used for any kind of promotion - an encyclopedia is not a notice-board, and articles should not contain PR-speak or lists of product features more suitable for a catalogue.

This girl is a friend of mine. We really would like her to be discovered as a musician. Just like Youtube is a huge way to be "discovered" to become famous, Wikipedia would gain the same respect. Please?

 Not done. Sorry, no. That is not what an encyclopedia is for. Wikipedia only covers people and things that have already been discovered and are established - see WP:MUSICBIO for what a musical performer needs to have achieved before having an article. JohnCD (talk) 08:37, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

David Chass

 Not done. The article was not deleted for lack of references (though they would have been required within ten days) but because of its promotional tone: "accomplished marketing professional... special expertise ... creatively orchestrates branding campaigns... world-renowned... " etc. That is not an encyclopedia article, it is an advertisement, designed to sell Mr. Chass; it might do for Myspace or LinkedIn, but Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotion of any kind, but requires a neutral point of view, with no "peacock terms", only facts supported by references showing significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. JohnCD (talk) 18:13, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Do I have the ability to edit it and re-post in a more acceptable manner?

Yes. I see you already have a version in your userspace which you can work on, though I think you might do better by starting afresh with a clean sheet. Read WP:Your first article and WP:Notability (people). I will provide some more advice on your talk page tomorrow. JohnCD (talk) 21:46, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Done – as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored upon request. I will notify user Richhoncho (talk), who proposed it, in case he wishes to nominate it at WP:Articles for deletion. The reason it was deleted (three years ago) was that it consists only of a long list of people you have worked with: that does not provide evidence of notability, a requirement to have a Wikipedia article, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." If you can provide such references, you would do best to add them on the article's talk page, as in writing about yourself you have, from our point of view, a WP:Conflict of interest - see also WP:BESTCOI - though I appreciate that you were not the original author of this article.

Unorthodox_(Cold)_Big_Bang_Cosmology

The article does not reach the criteria for deletion. The article contains part of a previous deleted page with no consensus, albeit the deleter seems to refer to it. The decision seems unilateral end the argued content is an example of the subject under this page being requested for undeletion. The same administrator deletes and deletes... But the page had survive for 24 hours and no administrator, except Beeblebrox, had deleted it before. I am a Wikipedia user and I think this deletion is no being properly done under Wikipedia polocy, specially because the source is legitimate. -177.24.91.81 (talk) 17:03, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Looking throughout Wikipedia, it seems the content is very well accepted within the portuguese Wikipedia, with no claims to delete. hence, the administrators of pt Wikipedia does think the content is encyclopedical. Why this behavior within english Wikipedia?

 Not done This article is essentially the same as the one deleted after a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Assis, Armando V.D.B. On the Cold Big Bang Cosmology. Progress in Physics, 2011, v. 2, 58-63. The result of that discussion was not "no consensus" but "delete", and so this article was properly deleted under WP:CSD#G4 as a repost of deleted material, and will not be restored here. If you want it back, you should first approach Materialscientist (talk), the administrator who closed the deletion discussion and then, if you are not satisfied, you can go to WP:Deletion review.
Each Wikipedia has its own rules and standards. The reasons why the article is not acceptable here are explained in the deletion discussion: it is an extract or summary of a primary source, but the Wikipedia:No original research policy is that "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it."

The Sunshine Environment Link

The Sunshine Environment Link is a well known organization/ information site. We were working on writing are site and a day it was deleted. We make no money and people find us on the web on top the search engines under sunshine environment. People ask us all the time where we got are name from and we thought we were very appropriate for wiki- we had over 350,000 this year, 3,000,000 in the past. And we work with kids. We were working on our mission statement and history, it was just a first write.

We are on top of DMOZ, important sites, we didn't to promote, we were giving people a way to learn about us a little more. We are supported by the WWF, Sierra Club, and tons of good sponsors. I can't imagine why we were pulled. We only have honest information on our site and information.

I don't get it. We want to educate the world about environmental science without cost, I need some help in understanding.

Please reconsider posting us and give us a chance to finish our page. We will post it according to set up. We've never been deleted by anyone for inappropriate content. Because schools and kids use us all the time. We are shocked.

The entire text was contributed by one user, Awnd329 (talk · contribs). Others only did things like typo correction or adding templates, with two exceptions: Aerovatorman (talk · contribs) added the text "There is no truth to these numbers at all: for all we know they were pulled out of someone's butt.", promptly removed by an IP, and Towelhead (talk · contribs) added "Thousands of powerful jet engines would be needed to overcome aerodynamic drag. This contraption is not economical because the cost of the jet engines and their fuel is prohibitive" just before nominating it for deletion. I doubt if you need either of those contributions, so Awnd329 is the only one you need to credit. JohnCD (talk) 13:56, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Catalyst_(company)

reasoning -Vcardillo (talk) 14:22, 4 May 2011 (UTC)


Page states facts and cites multiple sources. No different than this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partners_and_Napier

"Sources do not show notability: they are trade magazines and business journals that report routine corporate activities, not news outlets that report notable events."

Incorrect. They are published and respected magazines and it is not the decision of "Jclemens" to determine what is "notable".

In order to be included in Wikipedia, the company must be:
• the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself, OR
• listed on ranking indices of important companies produced by well-known and independent publications, OR
• used to calculate stock market indices. Being used to calculate an index that simply comprises the entire market is excluded.

We meet the first criteria. Please explain why this was deleted.

I also find this incredibly rude. I submitted the article for review for quite some time before making it live, and no one bothered to make any comments to it. Now it is randomly deleted without a chance for rebuttal.

1. Who is "we"?
2. The proposed deletion, on the grounds (with which I concur) that "Article seems to be corporate advertising. Sources do not show notability: they are trade magazines and business journals that report routine corporate activities, not news outlets that report notable events", went unchallenged for a week.
3. Recycled press releases and directory listings do not constitute "the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself", the criterion you claim this met.
4. User:Jclemens is a respected editor here, following our guidelines and procedures; I'm sorry if you find this "rude". --Orange Mike | Talk 14:49, 4 May 2011 (UTC)



1. Me and the person I wrote this with.
2. I was never informed of the PROD.
3. Then please explain how these do:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBDO
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razorfish_(company)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Hilimire
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R/GA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullen_Advertising
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harte-Hanks
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Fish_Media

BBDO especially references nothing more than trade magazines and business journals, as do many of these listings. In fact King Fish Media has absolutely no references whatsoever.

4. Respectfully, I feel as though this PROD and subsequent deletion is unfair and represents a double standard given the examples above. We cited a number of reputable sources and articles, including a major newspaper. Unfortunately, since you removed it, I don't have access to the original article to cite our sources.

Given the examples above and my evidence, I don't feel as though you've made a fair case or acted in a fair way by removing this article. It seems as though you are unfairly and unjustly singling out this article for no apparent reason.

The article presents information of a young author who was widely appreciated, for becoming an author of a technical title, by the leading print media and online blogs of the country. The Alma Mater of the student, NUST, which is the premier technology institution of Pakistan, also commended the efforts of the student and placed the information on its website. The article is of common interest for those who are related to the field of technology and telecommunications -182.177.112.186 (talk) 20:11, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Article had sources to Country Weekly and CMT, which are reliable. Also, there are plenty of hits on Google News which can be used to build up the article, not to mention very many articles on Country Standard Time, a reputable country music website.

Request to restore the edit history for this re-created article that was previously deleted via PROD -Dolovis (talk) 17:41, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

That doesn't seem necessary for purposes of attribution as the now existing article has been created as seemingly independent stub under a different title. Of course it can be restored but it would mix the two edit histories and change attribution of creation to the editors of the earlier and maybe premature version. What would be the benefit? --Tikiwont (talk) 07:49, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
Attribution aside, the earlier article deleted via PROD may contain useful information and/or references that might be salvaged and restored into the current article. Dolovis (talk) 14:00, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Article was still very much under construction, was waiting for peer review to judge whether or not it was unbiased. Would like the article restored to my user-space, so I can continue to work on it.

You'd be better off starting from scratch. When the marketing garbage like "They give their clients access to their team of professionals, essentially renting out high-quality marketing strategists and content providers. This approach allows for extremely personalized attention and strong relationships with their clients.

this deletion makes no sense. users rely on wikipedia as a place where they can find details on things that interest them. This article, about a man who committed suicide after leaving a 500,000 word, 1900 page suicide note, was deleted, but if i want to know who holds the world record for longest fingernails i can find out the details of Shridhar Chillal's life? how is that reasonable?

 Not done. "What about article X?" is not a useful argument - each article is considered on its own merits. This one was deleted after a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mitchell Heisman and cannot be restored here. If you think the discussion was wrongly decided, or you have new information, you should approach user Wifione (talk), the administrator who closed the discussion.

 Not done. I don't know that I agree with G11 as a deletion reason, but it would come under A7 - no indication of importance or significance.

Emedicalpoint - Doctors, Health & Medical Portal

it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article.

Mike Bloom (Musician) Undeletion Request

To Whom It May Concern,

I believe you may have unjustly deleted my page, 'Mike Bloom (Musician)'. I received an email awhile ago regarding the absence of footnotes on some information on my page. However it was not specific as to what information was in question and there was no response to a follow up email I sent. I am more than happy to provide whatever proof is needed to verify my bio.

I hope my page can be undeleted in a time sensitive matter, as I am admist a publicity campaign promoting two albums, one scheduled to release next week and the other in early June.

Please let me know what I need to do to undelete my page and quickly rectify the situation.

Thank you for your time, Mike Bloom — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.112.139.199 (talk • contribs) 00:07, 10 May 2011

 Not done. I should first say that Wikipedia is not here to help promote your albums, and is in fact extremely resistant to being used for self-promotion.
The article has not been deleted, it has been "redirected" so that on clicking on the name a reader is taken to the article The Elected, where you are mentioned. It was redirected as a result of the discussion at WP:Articles for deletion/Mike Bloom (musician), on the grounds that it did not cite the references to significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources required to verify what it said and establish notability required for a stand-alone article. The notability requirement for a musical performer are explained at WP:MUSICBIO. The only references the article gave were to Myspace, which is not considered a reliable source. "BLP" in the discusion means "biography of living person", where reliable references are of particular concern.
If you can provide suitable references, you should contact user Ron Ritzman (talk), the administrator who closed the deletion discussion. As the close was "no consensus", I think you will find him ready to consider reinstating the article. JohnCD (talk) 09:45, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Apparently page was deleted due to the username used to create the page, see WP:UPUN.

 Not done. The page was deleted as a result of the deletion debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Intransa. The problem was not the username but the fact that, no doubt because the author had a conflict of interest, the article was unacceptably promotional, written in marketing-speak and referenced only to the company's website. It will not be restored here: you will have to approach user Firsfron (talk), the administrator who closed the discussion. Then, if you are not satisfied, you can go to WP:Deletion review.
