Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2008 April 15
- Banderlog (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)
Hello! :) In March, this article was nominated for deletion. At the time, there was no suitable page for this article to be redirected to, so based on the consensus, Nandesuka deleted the article. I have created a new page, List of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition monsters, which would be a proper destination to merge and/or redirect the article to. I'm wondering if it's possible to restore the original article, and turn it into a redirect, thus preserving the edit history? Thanks! :)
I would ask the deleting admin directly, but it seems they are on an extended wikibreak. BOZ (talk) 00:39, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- History merge. I've gone ahead and just created the redirect, but a history merge for GFDL's sake would still be good. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 11:08, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you - yes, could someone restore the history to Banderlog please? :) BOZ (talk) 11:36, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Article has been cleaned up, opinion removed, references supplied following previous deletion. Redsuperted (talk) 11:41, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Following an earlier deletion I re-wrote this article about the website WikiJob. I included sources and took out speculation and inappropriate content. However, some was left in and I have now taken this out - the article should read more objectively, and I have used references to back up my information. The "mentions in the press" section can be taken out or made in to further references - what do people think of these sections? Are they allowed?
Further to this, when this article was deleted links to WikiJob.co.uk were blacklisted - please could this blacklisting be removed? -- Redsuperted (talk) 11:41, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Endorse deletion. I am sure Redsuperted has a COI (to put it mildly). Wait until an independent person writes the site up. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 11:55, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hi - Yes I do have a certain level of COI BUT - please check here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Redsuperted/sandbox for a new version of this article without previous subjective opinion. Redsuperted (talk) 11:14, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Endorse deletion. Spam article on site that was spammed and is now blacklisted. Guy (Help!) 06:36, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hi JzG..this isn't a spam article and I find that reasonably derogatory considering the time and effort I spent editing this and re-editing this to attempt to make sure it conformed to Wikipedia rules and guidelines. Yes, it may have been "spammy" to start with, but I am a new member of wikipedia and at first, was unsure of how articles were made. I did not intend to simply SPAM wikipedia, but to make an article about the website WikiJob. This is a web/magazine that receives 30,000 uniques a month and I feel it has a place on Wikipedia.
- Furthermore WikiJob is only lacklisted because YOU blacklisted it, so to endorse deletion based on your own blacklisting....isn't that just plain ridiculous? ? ? please re-examine my sandow page here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Redsuperted/sandbox Redsuperted (talk) 11:14, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Reviewed and re-edited WikiJob page
- Please see edited and updated version here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Redsuperted/sandbox - I have taken out all subjectivity and opinion and left only fact. I do have a COI to this, but honestly, what is in my sandbox is not subjective. If you find it so, please suggest how I can changes things for the better. Redsuperted (talk) 11:14, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Endorse per Guy If you have a COI then leave it for some other editor to write the article. Real world sourcing (i.e published media) is lacking as well. Spartaz Humbug! 12:12, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Just so you know, I deleted the logo since it was unsourced and clearly had to be a copyvio and was only being used in userspace against our non free content criteria. If the article does get restored you can reupload the image but must make sure that you comply with the criteria if its not to get deleted again. Spartaz Humbug! 12:16, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

The AfD debate's final outcome was the article in question lacked sources for the event to be checked. From the outcome of this debate I wrote an article improving what my friend had written so hopefully it would remain. Thus since, it has been deleted for advertising. Please see my talk page User:Dead6re for what the article was like the last time. Dead6re (talk) 07:43, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Endorse deletion. Other AfD contributors were satisfied with the sources but still questioned the notability. It's awfully hard luck having your top act (Pete Doherty) banged up! And sadly this makes the event less likely to succeed. You are not allowed to use Wikipedia for advertising - OK, Dead6re, I don't think you have any COI. But just be patient, son, it's only a fortnight to go. Let the event happen, let's see how many people turn up and, more importantly, what the media think about it and then we might reconsider. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 08:31, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Comment Okay its bad luck to have out Sunday headliner put in jail but I think the organiser Warren Holt is doing well. He managed to get another headliner (The Enemy) within 7 days. Perhaps it doesn't look the best but the organiser is committed to the event and I highly doubt the event will be cancelled again for the second time. Dead6re (talk) 09:03, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Endorse Deletion Non-notable at the present time, Wikipedia is not an advertisement source. Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 11:27, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Chris Frangou (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)
The page "Chris Frangou" is unable to be created due to previous deletions on the basis that it it not notable. I disagree with this statement and i would like it to be reviewed. Chris Frangou is a notable Australian musician and he meets Wikipedia's criteria of notability.--Chrisjazzbass (talk) 06:59, 15 April 2008 (UTC) Chrisjazzbass
- No offense intended, but if you don't prove it to us we can't help you. Could you please provide links to reliable sources that show that thie guy is truly notable? --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 22:47, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
