Deletion Review Article Universidad Del Pacífico - Ecuador[edit]

Hello @Explicit

As per instruction on Deletion review

"Consider attempting to discuss the matter with the closer as this could resolve the matter more quickly. There could have been a mistake, miscommunication, or misunderstanding, and a full review may not be needed. Such discussion also gives the closer the opportunity to clarify the reasoning behind a decision"

I wish to propose that the article be temporarily undeleted and be relisted to the if possible within WikiProject Higher education in order to recieve the input from editor peers that are working on similar projects.

Best Regards,HarveyPrototype (talk) 22:39, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@HarveyPrototype: Hi, this AFD had already been relisted once and was open for two weeks. When it was open, it was listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Organizations, Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Schools, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Ecuador. None of the concerns brought up by the nominator or subsequent "delete" !votes were adequately addressed. I do not see a reason to open the discussion for an additional third week. ✗plicit 12:10, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Explicit

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your attention to the process and your efforts in listing the AFD in relevant WikiProjects. However, I would like to highlight the ongoing discussion in the WikiProject Higher education, which is currently more active than the Wikiproject Ecuador. In this conversation, other editors have identified significant coverage of the university that was not brought to attention during the deletion discussion.

Given that WikiProject Higher Education is more active and has more experience with articles of this nature, I believe it would be beneficial to relist the article for deletion in this project. This would allow for a more thorough review by editors who are well-versed in the criteria for notability and sourcing for educational institutions.

I respectfully request that the article be relisted under the appropriate WikiProject to ensure a comprehensive and fair evaluation.

Thank you for considering this appeal. HarveyPrototype (talk) 18:00, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doing a direct search not on google, rather directly in the news portals you may take a look at the search results of a couple of examples:

Lul[edit]

I thought an article was ineligible for deletion via WP:PROD if it had previously been undeleted. DuncanHill (talk) 16:13, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DuncanHill: That's the case if it was previously deleted by PROD or at AFD. The deletion log shows that it was temporarily deleted to expunge revisions of vandalism. ✗plicit 00:06, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's not what WP:PROD says. DuncanHill (talk) 00:12, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DuncanHill: Well, seeing as it was deleted to remove the move log from the page history—specifically when it was moved by Hg re ? (WP:LTA/Grawp is relevant here)—it's pretty clear that the deletion was not based on the merits of the page itself. If you are contesting the PROD, you can just say that. Policy directs me to restore it upon request. If you feel that I abused my administrative tools, feel free to bring the issue up at WP:ANI. ✗plicit 00:20, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Draft:Navajo Nation Peacemaking Program[edit]

this was not a test page, can you please reinstate? LegalSmeagolian (talk) 17:09, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done, I have restored the draft. ✗plicit 00:27, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recent AFD close[edit]

Hi Explicit!

I see that you recently closed this article nomination at AfD as no-consensus because it hadn't received any participation in the deletion discussion. If I really think that the article fails WP:GNG and has no adequate coverage, what would be the best course of action? Should I PROD it, re-nominate at AFD or wait for a while before doing any of the two above?

Thanks so much!

Cheers, Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 21:46, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cocobb8: Hi, in general, users are advised to wait three months before nominating a page for deletion again. This particular article is not eligible for WP:PROD, so it must go through AFD once more. If there is a possible WP:ATD, that's a step worth considering as well. ✗plicit 00:12, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info! Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 12:31, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Drafting process (recent deletion G8) Kosmos_2553[edit]

re: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=162239463

I am not versed in the latest article creation norms. Last night I started to create a missing page for one of the entries in this table List of Kosmos satellites (2501–2750) for Kosmos_2553. Since it was late at night, I decided to gather draft article content in the Talk page of the article and revise it today. Instead, the page was deleted for G8 - which is fine, I understand my approach was not the norm. So, what IS the norm when organizing material for the initial content of a page? Just use a section of my personal page I imagine. Or directly post initial draft to article, then revise soon. Just don't leave article blank! ha.

Lastly, is there a reason you didn't just move the content of Talk:Kosmos_2553 to the empty Kosmos_2553? I assume because you didn't need to spend time reading the talk page since the situation was clear cut deletion due to G8... Mac (talk) 23:38, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Macowell: There was no article content on the talk page, so moving it into mainspace was not reasonable. If you are simply gathering sources, it would be safer to add them into a subpage in userspace or create a page in draftspace. Would you like me to restore the content and move it? ✗plicit 00:12, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response. in the future, I will use my userspace sandbox page for the same kind of draft/research work. No need to restore; I just finished writing the article with more sources. check it out actually let me know if it passes muster: Kosmos 2553 Mac (talk) 01:57, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Low-res image was moved to Commons; not sure what process to use[edit]

I have a question about File:1925-1926 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team.png, and I'm asking you because (1) you were the deleting admin and (2) you know the processes better than I do.

This image was non-free when uploaded, but copyright expired in 2022. Only the low-resolution reduction was transferred to Commons, while the high-resolution original upload remains in the deleted history here. I tried to download the high-res image to disk and upload on top of the Commons image with attribution, but I don't have the requisite permissions to overwrite at Commons.

Where can I request this type of operation? I suppose I could undelete the full-res file here and tag as {{Incomplete move to Commons}} for further attention, but this may be too confusing. There are undoubtedly more files in this situation. Wikiacc (¶) 02:05, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikiacc: I have exported it with the original revision, you can now simply reverted to it on Commons. ✗plicit 03:36, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Based on what you did, it looks like the next time I see this situation, I'll tag the Commons file for speedy deletion under G5, undelete the file here, and then do the export properly. Wikiacc (¶) 21:32, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

anti-jewish pogroms by Muslims[edit]

Hey, why was this article (Category:Anti-Jewish pogroms by Muslims - Wikipedia) deleted? Guyveru01 (talk) 11:44, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Guyveru01: Hi, Category:Anti-Jewish pogroms by Muslims was deleted because there was consensus to split the category into Category:Anti-Jewish pogroms in the Middle East and Category:Anti-Jewish pogroms in North Africa as a result of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 April 18#Category:Anti-Jewish pogroms by Muslims. ✗plicit 00:11, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Undelete page[edit]

Hi, I noticed you closed this PROD a while back. I would like to request undeletion. The concern was "Unused, obviously incorrect license tag (not PD-US), but unclear if this is eligible for Commons. Esoteric file format, dubious encyclopedic value".

"Unused" - Can just be transferred to Commons, File:Chittenden Hotel 1963.tif is a crop of this image so might as well have this image around
"obviously incorrect license tag" - image was made in 1963, likely published somewhere without notice. Website also states "No known copyright restrictions", it is unlikely these photos went unpublished.
"esoteric file format" - tif is in no way esoteric
"dubious encyclopedic value" - the cropped image I linked is being used in Wikipedia. Clear c:COM:EDUSE.
