Template:List of roads in Toronto/eastwestTOC (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (XfD|restore)
Template:List of roads in Toronto/northsouthTOC (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (XfD|restore)

Plastikspork is MIA since March 3. This template was deleted on the basis that {{Horizontal TOC}} could recreate it. However, it doesn't. It adds numbers that make the TOC read like a bus schedule at List of north–south roads in Toronto and List of east–west roads in Toronto. To recreate it would require the use of {{List TOC}}, manually entering each title. The original template was not as redundant as it was led on to be. ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 22:16, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Per Administrator:Thumperward, there are changes planned to the site's CSS that will allow the hiding of numbers in {{horizontal TOC}}s. But until then, temporarily undelete so that somebody can use the content of the deleted templates to produce appropriate {{List TOC}}s. 68.55.112.31 (talk) 06:57, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Happy_Happy_Happy.jpg (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (XfD|restore)

I would like to have this restored so that I can move it to Commons. I feel that the image can have some educational value as visual portraying anti-ROC sentiment. I don't see how the image is "denigrating an identifiable individual." The individual in the image is out in public, and he wants his message to be seen and spread. I don't believe that the individual would be ashamed of an image portraying what he does in public. On the contrary, I feel that he would be extremely proud of it. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 18:59, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What's wrong with just going with File:Chinese nationalism.jpg? --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:38, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I can see why someone might want the extras at the left and bottom cropped off, to allow a thumbnail in an article to show just J.J. Chin and the signs. That being said, the original uncropped version of the this file is now on Commons as File:Chinese nationalism.jpg. If this content is eligible for Commons, maybe it's better to just upload a new cropping directly to Commons also, since that doesn't involve asking for en.wiki review before (I assume) transferring it to Commons anyway. --Closeapple (talk) 18:17, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

April Masini (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (restore)

According to the reason the April Masini article was deleted, I should have not created the article but after my initial contest to have the page undeleted I was able to work on it under "User: GMHayes4/April Masini. I checked all the references, and had the page reviewed by multiple Wikipedia editors. I moved the page to stand alone because all of the references are verifiable, and the language on the page is objective. I do not understand why I can not recreate the page, especially when I was given permission to do so with the "Userfied" version. Can I rename the page? It is also not showing up in "My Contributions" which is disconcerting, given the hours I've put into making the article a good one. What should I do now?

  • In addition to this deletion, the editor Fastily has decided to take a "break" from editing Wikipedia which is understandable but leaves my article at a dead end. Can any of the Administrators help me restore the page that Fastily deleted, or at least take a look at it? All of my references are verifiable, and April Masini is a notable individual. Please help! Thank you!GMHayes (talk) 16:04, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Restore. The speedy deletion per WP:CSD#G4 was inappropriate because the deleted version of the article [1] is substantially different from the AfDed version of the article [2].  Sandstein  18:27, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete After spending more time considering the subject, it appears this is a paid PR spot to promote an aspiring personality. I would suggest the subject is not notable. If this article of a living person is considered notable, we'll need thousands more for every college dropout that aspired to a Hollywood career by doing commercials and bit parts in small productions. The Amazon reviews for her book are either promotional PR pieces or poor reviews by actual readers. It's really pretty sad that she's paying this GMHayes person to work up her Wiki page. That said, it appears the page has been created largely by one person and is therefore lacking a NPOV. Bromeliad39 (talk) 19:45, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have proof for your allegation that Gmhayes4 is being paid by April Masini?  Sandstein  22:22, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have had the article reviewed multiple times through the Wikipedia community, and have even found answers through members of Teahouse to help me create an article that is in line with the Wikipedia standard. April Masini is a notable living person that can be referenced for her contribution to the community at large with her advice columns. It is true that her works are self-published, which is why I left the reviews on retail sites off of the article. I have also directly contacted multiple publications that have reviewed her books, and if the Wikipedia Admin need those references I'll email you. There are multiple sources and references that all of the Wikipedia editors and Admin can reference that show Masini's impact in the Entertainment community. Also, the initial page that was deleted was poorly sourced which is why I created a new page with the best sources I could find. I'm not sure what else needs to be done from an editorial standpoint but I welcome the assistance. I have followed all of the rules, and double-checked my facts. Instead of using such incriminating language against my editorial work, I would like to know what steps I need to take in order to make sure that my article on April Masini is restored. It's something that I am actually very proud of, and look forward to reading and updating. Thank you so much!99.91.1.134 (talk) 21:44, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
