6 March 2023[edit]

  • Tatyana N. MickushinaClose endorsed with no prejudice against recreation of article or draft. The original closing was a valid reading of the short discussion. The appellant has shown here a multitude of sources that they can use to create a new article that might (or not) survive a new AFD. Isabelle Belato 🏳‍🌈 03:20, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tatyana N. Mickushina (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (XfD|restore)

I submit for your consideration an application for revision of the deletion of the article "Tatyana N. Mickushina.” The main reason for the deletion is indicated as "Does not appear to have been the subject of significant independent coverage." I researched this topic and I managed to find a significant number of authoritative independent sources. Some of them relate to the "basic criteria", some to the "additional criteria - author.” I also added information about the fairly wide distribution of books by Tatyana Mikushina.
I created new article. This article is available at sandbox.

I. basic criteria:
Various sources have been found:

  • analytical, devoted exclusively to the activities of T. Mickushina as a writer and public figure (Russian Bulletin, Book Industry)

  • discussion articles (Russian People's Line, Regions of Russia)
  • news articles about the release of her book about the award for writing (Network of city portals, All-Russian Business rating)
  • mention of her writing activity in the book of Dr. Hans Martin Krämer "Theosophy across Boundaries: Transcultural and Interdisciplinary Perspectives on a Modern Esoteric Movement”

II. additional criteria - author - 4с - The person's work (or works) has won significant critical attention:
There are reviews and analysis of her books by several scientists from around the world (Russia, Ukraine, Germany, Portugal.) Also a review by the President of the London Theosophical Society.

  • Endorse original delete closure if this is an appeal. Robert McClenon (talk) 09:23, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Approve Review of Draft or Approve Re-Creation of Article, subject to AFD Robert McClenon (talk) 09:23, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments - This request is too long, and the appellant has provided an entire day's proceedings at AFD, but this is a straightforward case of submitting a better article than the one that was deleted. Robert McClenon (talk) 09:23, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Allow recreation though I recommend the appellant become familiar with WP:TLDR for future requests. There seems to be adequate sourcing available. This page is not creation-protected, DRV is not required, but we are here anyway and I will offer my opinion. Appelant can either start a new page from scratch or request the old version at WP:REFUND and buiold upon it. Either way, a new page may be subject to its own AFD.

    Robert McClenon and Frank Anchor, thank you for your answers. Would it be ok, if I publish a new article right now or should I wait for the completion of the application and receiving specific instructions from you in the final result? Pisnyy Mykola (talk) 06:20, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Absent any previous inappropriate re-creation, which we often see with fan-driven articles for internet celebrities, there's no reason to NOT draft a better article and mainspace it when ready. If you want the deleted content and don't have it, I'm sure one of the admins who frequents this discussion board will be happy to help you. But basically, per the above: a "normal" deletion for notability is always subject to someone writing a better article with great sourcing. Jclemens (talk) 08:12, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse original close as correct. Allow recreation, preferably through AfC. --Enos733 (talk) 17:16, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse, allow recreation. AfD close was obviously correct, but seems to be notable, however please give WP:TLDR a read. {{ping|ClydeFranklin}} (t/c) 02:53, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
