undeletion request: Template:AHM

Why was it deleted? It's useful. I'm aware not many were using it, I would like to put it to use however. The Islamic section of wikipedia is simply woeful. 2604:2D80:4D09:1A00:D060:C3B5:AE5F:F8DD (talk) 08:44, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As the deletion summary shows, this template was deleted as a result of Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2023 May 4#Template:AHM. ✗plicit 00:48, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm aware. Restore it. It's rather odd that someone that says that wiki has an ethnic cleansing problem be a participant in said cleansing. 2604:2D80:4D09:1A00:520C:30BA:3B80:AAF8 (talk) 09:22, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, you got me. End of the road for you. ✗plicit 12:21, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me? I'm not interested in getting you. I'm interested in improving the quality of this web service, would you mind ceasing your jesting, and actually respond? If another haha is going my way, keep it for the standup routine. 2604:2D80:4D09:1A00:D049:F012:3BC9:ED80 (talk) 00:38, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could you maybe not delete categories that have only been unused for 8 minutes?

You deleted Category:Prehistoric Cenozoic bird stubs 8 minutes after I edited Template: Prehistoric-neornithine-stub. Look, I need that category restored and moved to Category:Prehistoric neornithine stubs. I'm afraid this deletion has actually hindered my efforts to revert the erroneous rebranding of the template/category to being about "Cenozoic birds" rather than "prehistoric neornithines". Grey Clownfish (talk) 15:16, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Grey Clownfish: I have restored and moved the category. I was not checking for the timing between your edits and the deletion, it was a matter of coincidence. ✗plicit 23:39, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Michael D. Ratner

I am considering recreating this due to better sourcing over the past years, may I see the deleted article? CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 14:33, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CherryPie94: It looked like this prior to deletion. Let me know if you'd like me to draftify the page, as any reuse of the content requires attribution. ✗plicit 14:37, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That would be helpful, that looks promotional but there's some usable content. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 14:40, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CherryPie94:  Done, the content is now available at Draft:Michael D. Ratner. ✗plicit 14:47, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Hi Explicit. Hope you're doing well. Sorry to ask this but please Can you tell me is this article comes under CSD criteria G5? Fade258 (talk) 01:26, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Fade258: Hi, that article is not eligible for G5 because it was created before the sockpuppetry was discovered. G5 only applies when the a page is created after the sockmaster was blocked. ✗plicit 03:36, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your clarification. Fade258 (talk) 08:05, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Astudillo

Could this be relisted? There were only two !votes and one user showed something that pretty clearly looked like SIGCOV. I'd appreciate if a week could be given for me to look into this myself. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:35, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11: Very well, since I closed the discussion just a few hours ago, I have relisted it as requested. ✗plicit 03:41, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting undeletion of "File:Caselogo.svg"

I'm requesting the file, File:CaseLogo.svg be undeleted because its removal from the article, resulting in unused/orphan status prompting its deletion, was incorrect. The editor that removed it under nfcc#1, citing existence of 'free' logos failed to consider that the free logos are different than the specific logo in question, which was the source of considerable controversy during its implementation, and is talked about in the article. The file is relevant to the article and its inclusion is appropriate under fair use and can not be replaced by a free image. I can explain in more detail if needed. Thank you.--The Navigators (talk) 05:28, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) Just for reference Explicit, this seems to be related to this edit. I can't see the deleted logo, but perhaps an argument could be made for its use per WP:NFC#cite_note-4. The file was technically deleted per F5, even though it seems to have been removed for F7 reasons. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:17, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher)@The Navigators: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy has been set up to be more restrictive than fair use as explained WP:NFC#Backgound; if you can find more sources discussing the logo controversy and add them to that particular section, it might strengthen the argument for non-free use. The university seems to have made some other controversial logo changes over the years and perhaps that could be expanded upon with more sources. Anyway, the archived source cited doesn't show the logo per se, but perhaps this is the logo you're asking about. If it is, you might want to ask for feedback at c:COM:VPC or WP:MCQ to see whether it's even eligible for copyright protection per c:COM:TOO US. If the consensus is that this file can be relicensed as {{PD-logo}}, it wouldn't need to comply with Wikipedia's non-free content use policy. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:17, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@The Navigators:  Done, file restored. ✗plicit 13:58, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Gabel1960/Kishore Mahbubani

Hi! Hope you're well. I don't edit much anymore. I just happened to notice a 20 year old article was userfied and you deleted the redirect, presumably in error, as I can't think of a reason why 20 years worth of history would be moved to the userspace of one editor. To be clear, I am only here because I wanted to tell someone I can trust to determine the right course of action if any, and you were the last such person to act on that article or the first one to pop up. Regards! — Usedtobecool ☎️ 14:53, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Usedtobecool: Hi, I have reverted the page move, which I agree and hadn't noticed was inappropriate. ✗plicit 14:58, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review for Template:AHM

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Template:AHM. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.

Request to review deletion of Dhayalan Mohanasundaram

Hello Mr.Explicit, I noticed that the page Dhayalan Mohanasundaram was deleted recently. I understand it may not have met notability standards at that time. I would like to request if you could please review the deletion, as I now have additional independent and reliable source https://www.outlookindia.com/hub4business/amirthaa-dairy-from-humble-beginnings-to-dairy-industry-trailblazer that provide significant coverage. If possible, I’d be grateful if you could consider restoring it to my user space or sandbox so I can improve it. Thank you for your time and help! Ashwinijaya09 (talk) 10:16, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Ashwinijaya09: This source is the exact type of source discussed at the deletion debate, and is even listed at WP:NEWSORGINDIA. It's a hard no from me. ✗plicit 00:45, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that, as per WP:NEWSORGINDIA, the Business Spotlight section of Outlook India is generally treated as paid content. However, I kindly request you to review the article on Dhayalan Mohanasundaram, as it appears to be an independent piece. It carries a byline by journalist Manish Saini, who seems to have conducted a direct interview with the subject. This suggests that the article may be organic rather than promotional.

File undeletion request

Kind regards, I hope this message finds you well. I was wondering if it was possible to ask for the undeletion of files File:Warsaw videogame screenshot.jpg and File:Warsaw videogame screenshot 2.jpg, deleted under rational F7. Their fair use purpose would be to illustrate gameplay at the Warsaw (video game) article. Best wishes and thanks in advance, NoonIcarus (talk) 21:15, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
