Hello, I'm writing to you regarding FC Iberia 2010 that has been soft deleted based on a single vote. I'm wondering whether you could restore the page, which would enable me to add two more sections, the list of players and notable players. Currently, it is the only 4th division club with no Wikipedia page. Thanks. Gorgin18 (talk) 06:19, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

@Gorgin18: Done – as a contested soft deletion, the article has been restored upon request. ✗plicit 11:17, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello! I was asked to write to you from my undelete request here. From the time since the article was deleted for not meeting notability guidelines, Wiesław Lewicki acquired the required 100,000 signatures to become an official candidate for the 2025 Polish presidential election, awaiting certification. So he will undoubtably be written about in the news during campaign season, and while the article might still not meet notability guidelines in the state it was in, it will certainly be possibly to greatly improve it with the incoming news, and the basic biographical information that was there is generally useful as a foundation. Thanks! Polish kurd (talk) 20:25, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I'm responding to your deletion of my page request. Appreciate you taking the time.

Augie K Fabela is a prominent American public figure, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Nasdaq-listed VEON (previously Vimpelcom) and a serial entrepreneur and founder of multiple startupts in the technology sector. He is also a dedicated philanthropist and founder of the Fabela Family Foundation, as well as the author of two books, including a #1 Amazon bestseller. He is referred to briefly in the VEON entry, but it would be beneficial for Wikipedia readers to have his complete biography on the record. We are committed to only contributing factual information and Wiki-approved citations, and will do so with consensus from other Wikipedia editors. VEON.MNS (talk) 08:00, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

I noticed that you G8 deleted City University of Mogadishu while closing the AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Guul University. The two names are distinct universities. The City University page was hijacked and moved. The recent histmerge should have left City University as an article, not a redirect. Also City University was previously kept Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/City University of Mogadishu, although it might not survive current consensus. In short, City University should not have been in the scope of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Guul University. • Gene93k (talk) 14:36, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

@Gene93k: I have restored the page history. For whatever reason, I keep running into a fatal exception error in trying to restore the most recent revision that redirected the article to Guul University. ✗plicit 14:48, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the fast response. Guul Univeristy was a tangled mess. • Gene93k (talk) 19:29, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Ugh, the "delete" close it was only four days after the requested relist -- I was expecting I'd have a week, and was planning on looking into it tomorrow. At the very least, it should be redirected with the history preserved for when coverage eventually surfaces. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:38, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

@BeanieFan11: Per WP:RELIST, A relisted discussion may be closed once consensus is determined, without necessarily waiting for another seven days. There was a pretty clear consensus to delete here. There was no suggestion to redirect the page in the discussion, so that's not an WP:ATD I could have taken, especially when the subject is listed in at least nine different competitions from 1986–2003. ✗plicit 00:48, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Ugh, that's disappointing, given that I had an in-depth argument I was set to make tomorrow. Could it be restored to draftspace or something? I was in the process of contacting the Djibouti Post (the country's newspaper) to see if they knew anything about him, and I'm almost certain that coverage exists, so losing that page history would make things more difficult to return if its found.

This is regarding the recently deleted article: Vastav AI. The creator of the previous page was also found to be a WP:Socks that were making edits to this page. In lieu of that, the page has been recreated by who has barely contributed to anything apart from his article. The other user involved was recently banned: and . I feel that these are a bunch of meat puppets and paid editors, as the current wiki article does clearly do read like an advert as well. I have nominated the page VastavX AI for speedy deletion.

Hello. The page for Johnny Contardo was restored in February 2025, but is gone again. When I search for it, it says the page does not exist. He is still an active musician, with many fans worldwide. I'm still learning the correct way to suggest edits, and had hoped to add a few lines to bring the page up to date. Can you please advise why the page does not exist, and what can be done to restore it? H2karen (talk) 18:06, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

@H2karen: Hi, you will need to discuss the matter with the closing admin for reconsideration. I am unable to revert their closure without consensus to do so. ✗plicit 03:30, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the rush was to delete Talk:Roosevelt dictatorship. Someone asked a question in good faith there on the fate of the deleted page. Even if you want to delete the talk page, you should at the bare minimum copy & paste the conversation to that user's talk page so they can see my response. I don't recall the name of the account but you should be able to see it in the history, but I don't see evidence of you doing such a thing in your recent contribs - apologies if I just missed it. SnowFire (talk) 01:57, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

I see you've been editing since. This is really not a hard request to process - if you've already done so (I can't easily check given the volume of your edits + me not remembering the account's name precisely), please verify so. Should be just view history of deleted page -> move content to the user's talk page with my reply.

For the general case, WP:BITE is a core guideline. If an infrequent editor asks a legitimate question in the wrong spot, the polite thing to do is just move it elsewhere - deleting it with no record it ever was made is pointlessly rude and drives away new contributors. I hope you do not casually delete all such talk pages without bothering to move the content for when said content isn't spam - something to consider for the future. SnowFire (talk) 02:20, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

@SnowFire: I have moved the discussion to Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Roosevelt dictatorship. ✗plicit 03:30, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Thank you.

That said, I notice you have not replied on the general case. This particular case was weird because I had that page on my watchlist still, so there was a regular editor to "notice". But most cases like this won't have that - it'll be just a newbie shooting in the darkness in the wrong spot. In those cases, it needs to be the admin doing the right thing, even when no one else sees it. Do you agree or disagree that this kind of courtesy takes 15 seconds and is a good idea before deleting such pages, if this were to happen again but with no one else noticing? SnowFire (talk) 04:29, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

@SnowFire: Yup, I should have moved it to begin with or copied the discussion to the user's talk page before or after originally deleting it. ✗plicit 04:39, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Morning. Since you deleted the Countryhumans article last, I just wanted to check in with you. Now, I'm not saying I want to bring back the page, but I do want to make it redirect to Personification. Yay, or Nay?

So, why does it violate free-use policy? I got it restored via an undeletion request and there was no issue then. NorthTension (talk) 11:39, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

@NorthTension: Please see WP:NFC#cite_note-4: The NFCI#2 allowance for logos only applies to the use of the logo on the infobox or lede for the stand-alone article about the entity, and should reflect its most current logo. The use of historical logos for an entity is not allowed, unless the historical logo itself is described in the context of critical commentary about that historical logo. ✗plicit 14:51, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

So since it's still in use, albeit unofficially, can I put it in the infobox then if I'm reading your post correctly? NorthTension (talk) 14:53, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

@NorthTension: Not quite sure what you mean by "unofficially", but the contextual significance criterion of policy only allows the use of one non-free item. The article's infobox should use a singular official, main logo. ✗plicit 14:57, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

The emblem/patch is still very frequently used despite the one at the top of the infobox being the official legal symbol of Wagner ever since they became part of the Armed Forces. I can provide sources if needed showing the still constant usage of the skull emblem as it's basically their most famous trademark.

Personally I feel like that logo should be exempt from copyright because of it like all other Russian military emblems, but I don't exactly know where to argue that.

Also, if removing the flag version is a requirement to keep the skull emblem on the page then I'd be fine with that, it's literally a seal on a bedsheet. NorthTension (talk) 15:05, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

@Explicit sorry to bug again but is it cool if I could get a follow-up for this? NorthTension (talk) 17:28, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

@NorthTension: I have nothing more to add, as I have already explained the restrictions enforced by policy. ✗plicit 03:30, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

So....can we remove the flag that has the logo you deleted on it in exchange for putting that logo back on the page? It's still very explicitly in use even though it's not the official logo anymore. NorthTension (talk) 15:40, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

@NorthTension: As I stated above, "policy only allows the use of one non-free item". If the other logo is preferred to the current one, then changing it is an editorial decision. ✗plicit 00:35, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I saw that you deleted this file under WP:F7. However, a discussion was recently had with no consensus to remove the fair use image. In fact, 3/4 of the comments agreed that a fair use image should be included in the page. Additionally, there is currently a second discussion ongoing about the use of a fair use file in the page. I think that speedily-deleting the file was premature and also circumvents the consensus-gaining process. I would like to request that the file be restored and re-added until a consensus is reached. Thanks, ArtemisiaGentileschiFan (talk) 00:19, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

@ArtemisiaGentileschiFan: Hi, this image is credited to the Associated Press and was deleted in accordance with WP:CSD#F7 as being a photo from a press agency, which must be deleted on the spot. It had nothing to do with the arguments in the discussion you linked. ✗plicit 00:35, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Alright thanks, my mistake. I misunderstood and thought it was deleted under F7.C. ArtemisiaGentileschiFan (talk) 00:49, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello. Perhaps due to ignorance, I didn't take the corrective action. I requested the removal of the Sarah Yarkin page because its content redirects to another page completely unrelated to the page's content. Sarah Yarkin is an actress, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022 film) this is a film she starred in. It doesn't make much sense to redirect to one of her films. It's pointless. I hope I've explained myself well; my English is still very limited. Best regards :) 83.38.176.11 (talk) 05:40, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

What is a "soft" deletion? Iljhgtn (talk) 13:53, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

From Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Korenya Shingetsuan Iljhgtn (talk) 13:53, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

@Iljhgtn: "Soft deletion" refers to deletion that occurs when little to no participants take part of a deletion discussion. Such deletions are considered uncontroversial because they are uncontested. Pages which have previously been proposed for deletion, or otherwise failed to get a "delete" result in previous deletion discussions, are not eligible for soft deletion and must be subject to robust consensus to result in deletion of the page. ✗plicit 14:13, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

This article was deleted due to PROD expiring today. However shortly after you deleted it was recreated by the original article creator (who suddenly decided to be active all of a sudden). Although the content is slightly changed compared to what's shown in the archives, there is still a lack of independent in-depth sources to meet notability. Is this article eligible for CSD or we will need to go to AFD on this?

Edit: Nevermind. Someone else already AFD it here. Imcdc Contact 06:20, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi, hoping you're well. I saw today you replaced the infobox image for Sub-Zero with a screencapture from the character trailer. While I understand the video itself was released as free-use under a YouTube license, I do have some concerns about using it in this manner as the character in question is viable, as the character itself is trademarked and copyrighted separately; even the image on commons presents this warning in its file information. There's also some consensus that images that use official representations of copyrighted characters in them may be questionable despite the original image being free, as in the case of city photos that illustrate a character in advertising.

On a more practical level, while artwork for the MK series is...well...inconsistent to say the least, an argument can be made that the image is not the best representation of the character for the reader to understand who they are at a glance and the character's design; it shows too little of them. Kung Fu Man (talk) 03:59, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

@Kung Fu Man: I'm not sure how any of these points would justify a non-free image. ✗plicit 00:44, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Because simply put we're using an image from a trailer without confirmation the character's imagery was released for the purposes we're using it for, not to mention the layers of copyright protection regarding the character (both Netherealm and Warner Bros. hold a copyright in this case). At the very least better clarification from the horse's mouth may be a good idea to obtain, no?--Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:51, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

@Kung Fu Man: The video was uploaded by the official Mortal Kombat YouTube channel, it's pretty difficult to argue that they did not intend to freely release this particular video. Not all depictions of this character are free, but this one is. A similar situation arose at c:Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:NickRewind videos, which resulted in keeping all the media files. These are becoming more frequent over time, so music videos, video game trailers, film trailers, and more are being licensed under Creative Commons. Trademarks are a separate issue, which does not restrict us from using the content as the Creative Commons License specifies. ✗plicit 04:00, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi! I recently got the mop and am attempting to use it at RfD. I've got a couple questions about redirects with history, and am bugging you because you're one of the more active closers there, feel free to redirect me elsewhere. (For reference, I am specifically looking at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2025_April_16#Ruby-gnome2).

First, do we need to keep something with substantive history when that history isn't prserved anywhere in mainspace? (in this case, a merge and then all content deleted at the target page after the merge). Second, if we do, what's the recommended way to do that? Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Administrator instructions suggests that you should archive it into a talk namespace and then link on the old target's talk page, but I don't think I've ever seen this done. A histmerge seems contraindicated by WP:PVER, but was suggested elsewhere. Do we just need to keep the redirect, or at least relist while pointing out the history? Rusalkii (talk) 03:22, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

@Rusalkii: Hi, the content was removed as a result of this edit just eight days after it was merged, and seemingly not added back since. A redirect with a page history must be retained for attribution purposes only if the content exists there, which it doesn't anymore. In this particular case, I think you are free to go for either close the discussion or relist it if feel that the history is worth mentioning and may have been overlooked. ✗plicit 04:00, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks! Assuming for the hypothetical that it wasn't delete, though, what would you do here here? Rusalkii (talk) 04:04, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

@Rusalkii: If the assumption is that the merged material is still at the target, I would instead !vote and ping the prior participants, as they may not be aware of the circumstances. I think Jay does that more often than other admins who work at RFD. ✗plicit 04:47, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

So you don't agree about deleting many pages redirected to Bali United F.C. by AldiBh?? Have you looked at his contributions? He made that many pages that already separating Putra Samarinda and Bali United history? Wira rhea (talk) 02:26, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

@Wira rhea: I declined the deletion of these redirects because they did not meet any of the speedy deletion criterion. The relevant place to discuss these redirects is WP:RFD. However, this is currently an active sockpuppet investigation regarding the account at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dwinug, so you may want to wait it out to not put in any unnecessary effort. If the user is blocked as a result, the pages they created will be deleted in accordance with WP:CSD#G5. ✗plicit 05:37, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

The Murder of Timothy McCoy article is well-written and extensively referenced. In my humble opinion that article should not be deleted.--Kieronoldham (talk) 22:34, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Then just merge his page and Gacys or add some content from it to Gacy page cause Gacy is note worthy here after all DarkHorseMayhem (talk) 22:36, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

The Gacy article is already exhaustive. It would add undue weight to the section in question. It was his first murder so youse could argue it is noteworthy as an independent article. Kieronoldham (talk) 22:43, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Well Butkowich one page seems less notable and worse made but yeah thing is they are both made by sock which is bad , o it could be since Timothy is Gacy first kill just taking some content and reference and just expending Timothy section on Gacy page and just straight up deleting Butkovich one DarkHorseMayhem (talk) 22:46, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

@Kieronoldham why you don't want to nominate Butkovich page for deletion? DarkHorseMayhem (talk) 23:27, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

I have over 600 pages on my watchlist - at least 100 of which I have worked on extensively and pay a particular focus to and as time goes by this particular group of focus expands in addition to almost always having one case to work on ongoingly. (I always like to labour/labor through my watchlist daily before addressing others' requests.) Just because I haven't done so yet doesn't mean I won't.

Hi Explicit. I get what you're saying regarding this and this; in the latter case, though, the file was only being used in the election article when I tagged it (someone added it to the biography article later) and removing the file would've been a de-facto deletion request per F5. I wasn't sure whether that would be OK.

Anyway, I've found a similar situation in List of Alexandrov Ensemble soloists while looking at some recently uploaded files. It seems that all the non-free files used in the article were just uploaded within the past few days; they all also seem to fail WP:NFLISTS. Two of the entries do seem to have have stand-alone articles about their subjects where other non-free images are being used; so, removing these two files isn't much of a hassle. The other ones (there's more than 50), though, don't have stand-alone articles where that could be moved; so, removing means they could end up being deleted per F5. These all appear to have been recently uploaded and added by the same account, a new account that's about a week old. Not sure what to do here; so, if you've got any ideas, please advise. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:02, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: Hi, first, {{di-disputed non-free use rationale}} is only intended for deletion of files, so it should not be used only for disputing the use of files from certain pages.

Regarding non-free files used in list articles, you can boldly just remove them citing NFLISTS. A lot of times, they simply will end up being deleted as F5. If your actions are reverted, you can always send the files to WP:FFD for removal or deletion. The new user may need a message explaining NFCC policy as well. ✗plicit 06:56, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. Just for reference, the wording in the documentation for Template:Di-disputed non-free use rationale and the template itself seems to imply that it can be used in cases where a particular use of a file is being disputed (i.e. removal from certain articles is only being requested): This template notes that a non-free use rationale that is disputed. The image tagged can be deleted or removed from some uses 7 days after tagging unless resolved. It seems to have been worded that way for quite some time, but perhaps it should be changed if it now should only be used when requesting speedy deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:05, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

I've started a discussion about the list article at WP:MCQ#List of Alexandrov Ensemble soloists to see whether any of the files in question might possibly have already entered into the public domain and , thus, just need to be relicensed. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:24, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Explicit, I saw that you recently deleted the Moundball page. Is it possible to reverse this? The stated concern was that there was no significant coverage in independent reliable sources to establish notability. I understand that the internet likely does not have many independent sources on Moundball. But as a baseball fan myself, I can assure you that Moundball is in fact a game that exists, and I have played it myself multiple times. It is something that almost any attendee of a baseball game is at least aware of. If you want an independent source for the existence of the game, here is a source from the official US Major League Baseball website. SCOTUS Operandi (talk) 09:26, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
