Air Ambulance Card, LLC
Air Ambulance Card is a medical evacuation provider... several medical evacuation and air ambulance posts exist. Air Ambulance Card certainly meets the notability requirements as laid out in your Wizard as it has been written about in multiple highly regarding publications, including The New York Times and Wall Street Journal. The editor noted a possible copy violaton, which will be edited when the page is reinstated. -Atticusrominger (talk) 20:28, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

This term is referenced in several locations, including: https://www.cds.caltech.edu/~murray/wiki/index.php/GOTChA_Chart I think it is beneficial to have an article with it since this does not have a reference elsewhere within Wikipedia. -PgMP (talk) 21:46, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- Done Restored as a contested proposed deletion, though I have no idea what the subject is based on reading the article. The article itself should be rewritten and some sources added. Protonk (talk) 22:45, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
TimetoPlayMag.com
This is a well-known toy and family products review site that is quoted and featured in every major news source. The company holds widely attended events throughout the year. The heads of this company are known as toy experts and their reviews significant to all major toy companies, all of whom have Wikipedia pages of their own. I have provided more than double the amount of legitimate sources than most Wikipedia articles offer and feel that the repeated deletion is unwarranted. -Litzky (talk) 22:03, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Where I would have referred you anyways since a deletion as hoax isn't one of the uncontroversial cases we would handle here. If that doesn't clarify, your concerns can be taken to deletion review. --Tikiwont (talk) 14:03, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
- I will also note that even if he were not a hoax, the person described would not meet our standards of notability anyway. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:15, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yep. From what I can tell, he's a running inside joke. I can't find it now, but before I had found a message board thread about it. But even though the NCAA has no record of him, I am willing to admit there's a .000000001% chance that he's real. If that's the case, he's not notable. --B (talk) 19:58, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Brookson Accountancy
Article about a company and its journey not to promote its products, similar to SJD Accountancy page! -Andysloan22 (talk) 15:32, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
- Not done. The article was deleted as unambiguous promotion or advertisement. Reviewing the content of the page I agree with the deletion decision. Wikipedia is not a host for a business web-page. Rather it is an encyclopedia, which requires sourced and neutral content. The absence or presence of other articles does not legitimize otherwise unacceptable articles. Protonk (talk) 22:32, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
Danny Kee
The subject (person) is in fact notable on the basis that this individual launched the careers of several famous artists/musicians within the music industry who went on to sell millions of records (including but not limited to Faith Hill, Hank Williams, Jr. Kathie Lee Giffords, Lynrd Skynrd, etc., all of whom are household names in American pop culture). Additionally, there is plenty of reliable third-party reference material available about Kee - Jennifer Ember Pierce's "Off The Record" devoted an entire chapter to this individual's inspiring story. Danny Kee is regarded as a leader in the music/artist management field, which makes him especially notable to students, new and aspiring artists, songwriters, and musicians researching the entertainment industry. -Mhurtado77 (talk) 00:13, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
- Not done. This article was speedily deleted and as such cannot be unilaterally overturned. I've looked at this google books search (as it indexes Billboard as a book) this news search and a web search and I haven't come up with much. You can ask the deleting admin to restore the article or comment here (or just post here and I can ask him). Protonk (talk) 00:50, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Elle Merhmand
Elle Mehrmand is a true and real artist. Deleting and depriving her of a wikipedia page is a total mistake. Her work in performance, new media, technology, telecommunications, and gender studies are all viable and important to contemporary art and practice. She is a real, relevant, and living human being. Please do not make the mistake of excluding her as she is a real and working artist. Her work has not only been exhibited in the US, but worldwide including her work with Micha Cardenas and EDT, bang Lab. -62.83.129.105 (talk) 02:22, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
- This article has already been undeleted per a previous request. However, it's been nominated for deletion. Therefore, you need to make your case in the deletion discussion for this article. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:57, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Celph Titled
reasoning -70.181.74.17 (talk) 19:24, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
I am trying to get this page unlocked for creation. Celph Titled is definately a notable artist. http://celphtitled.com He is part of the Army of the Phaorohs, not the mention the solo album he did with the legend Buckwild. ALSO, he has one of the most popular underground hip-hop albums ever, the Gatalog. I don't know why he is not yet considered a "notable artist" by Wikipedia... the guy makes millions of dollars from making music. Not to mention the tons of albums he has been lead producer on...
- See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Celph Titled (2nd nomination). Note also that if he is actually notable, then we would be getting links to somebody else's websites, not his own. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:35, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

deleted on claims of rollerblading not being a notable subject. This is not only highly inaccurate, but hints at the party requesting the deletion perhaps having a suspiciously biased opinion or motivation as well. -72.207.43.65 (talk) 20:35, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- Done – as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored upon request. I will notify user The Bushranger (talk), who proposed it, in case he wishes to nominate it at WP:Articles for deletion. Accusations of bias will not help your case; please read Wikipedia:Assume good faith. What the article needs if it is to be kept is references, both to verify what it says and to establish notability. JohnCD (talk) 20:59, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
African American Policy Forum
I work at this organization, which is a reputable one (the reason why it was proposed to be deleted) and is housed at Columbia Law School and UCLA Law School. -128.59.178.61 (talk) 21:02, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- Done – as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored upon request. I will notify user Darrenhusted (talk), who proposed it, in case he wishes to nominate it at WP:Articles for deletion. I can't imagine what you mean by "...is a reputable one (the reason why it was proposed to be deleted)"; do you imply that Wikipedia only covers disreputable organizations? The actual reason cited was "Notability not established, reads like an advert." Being reputable, or being a good cause is not enough for an article; what this one needs, if it is to be kept, is references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" to establish notability. As you work for the organization, you should read the guideline WP:Conflict of interest before editing about it. JohnCD (talk) 21:18, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Swami Nigamananda has obtained Siddhi (perfection) in four different Sadhanas, like Tantra, Gyan, Yoga and Prema.After churning the sea of Sadhana and delving deep into various scriptures, He had extracted nectar from it, which He presented to the world in the form of five books, namely, BRAHAMCHARYA SADHANA, YOGI GURU, GYANI GURU, TANTRIKA GURU and PREMIKA GURU.The seeker of any faith will stand to benefit from them. The principles laid down in these books, if practiced carefully, will lead a man to definite success in spiritual pursuit -Dcmpuri (talk) 05:03, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
- Not done - As announced at the top of the page, this process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially and has no applicability to articles deleted after any deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Swami_Nigamananda, it cannot be undeleted through this process. Nevertheless, if you believe that the consensus found at the discussion was in error, or that significant new information has come to light since the deletion, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user JohnCD (talk · contribs). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review.Spartaz Humbug! 11:36, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

- Thanks! Why do you suppose it was deleted? The first time it says "CSD A7"; wuzzat? --Jerome Potts (talk) 19:37, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
- WP:CSD#A7 is one of the criteria for speedy deletion: an article that "does not indicate why its subject is important or significant." If a new article makes a "credible claim of significance or importance" it won't be speedy-deleted, but if it is to be kept in the long term it will have to meet the requirements of WP:Verifiability and WP:Notability.

This composer has written many significant works, including many for percussion that are performed around the world. He has recently won the significant Aaron Copland Award, and continnues to make a mark as a composer. As a fan (I have performed his music), I would like to add to his Wikipedia page. I feel that significant links are available to make the listing "notable." -SerialMusician (talk) 00:51, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
- I've restored this to User:SerialMusician/James Romig where you can improve it with reliable sources. Originally it was deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Romig but that doesn't' really amount to consensus and the deleting administrator has retired. So you can just ask me for feedback before moving it back. If necessary we have another discussion.--Tikiwont (talk) 09:42, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
I've made the updates. Is it sufficient, now, to be undeleted? Thanks! SerialMusician (talk) 14:55, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
- Well, i moved it back as you certainly have gone beyond the 2007 version ad discussion. Nevertheless, I'm not sure abut his WP:Notability or the significance of the Aaron Copland Award but would leave that up to a 2nd AfD if someone more knowledgeable in contemporary classical music sees fit.--Tikiwont (talk) 16:53, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Qohort
does not meet any criteria for deletion - if it does, can you pl explain? -99.111.72.146 (talk) 17:32, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
- (a) it was a copyright violation from http://www.qohort.com/. See Wikipedia:Copy-paste for why material must not be copied into Wikipedia unless a formal copyright release has been made as described at WP:DCM; (b) it did not show the significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources necessary to establish notability, and (c) it was somewhat promotional in tone (as is often the case with material copied from a website). From the text, it seems this is a new startup: it is unlikely to qualify for a Wikipedia article until it has been operating long enough to attract independent comment.

Hickory Park Restaurant Co
I am currently working on an assignment for my college information sourcing course at UNC, and after 5 hours of work, my page was deleted. Without a page, I will get a failing grade. The reason for deletion was "advertising/promotional" and I will go through and make it more objective. Please give me the opportunity to do so. It will take me forever to start from scratch. Please, I am begging you. -DanpUNC (talk) 01:10, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
- I will userfy the content to a subpage. It should not be moved back to the mainspace until you not only make it more objective, but you cite to published third-party reliable sources that are completely independent of the restaurant. If your teacher is looking for a good Wikipedia article to be written, and knows what is needed to accomplish that, then he or she will likely give you a poor grade if you post the article with only the primary sources you were citing, which also means the article will likely be deleted later even if its userfied in the short term. You have to do the writing work but, while we have a strong ethos here not to do people's homework for them, my allegiance is to Wikipedia so I want to balance that with putting you on the right path to producing a decent article. Accordingly, see here and here. The article is at User:DanpUNC/Hickory Park Restaurant. Note regarding the title that I intentionally left off "Co"; see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (companies).--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:51, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

The article is important as it references an organisation that is Global and contributes large sums of money to internationally recognised charitable causes.

- I assume you are referring to File:WDI Logo with name jpeg format.jpg and File:EdPhoto.JPG. Is that correct? Protonk (talk) 20:59, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
- Victoria, we need to know where the image came from and we need some kind of proof that's available for use under CC-By-SA. Let's start with who gave you permission to use it. Did they take the image and did they have all rights to it (ie they weren't being paid to take it by someone else)? And, if so, can you show us some evidence that either they've given you all rights to the image or that they release it under CC-By-SA? I know it seems a lot of faff, but we have to be sure make licenses are legit so that people can reuse the images without worrying about violating copyright. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:25, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

- Ok. I'm going to direct you to a help page. I'm going to swing back to this discussion in a half hour or so, but please do read this help page (at least the few paragraphs at the top) to get a sense of what is required before posting an image on wikipedia which has been copyrighted elsewhere: Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. Protonk (talk) 21:20, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks! Victoriakereszi (talk) 21:23, 14 March 2011 (UTC)victoriakereszi
- Ok. If you have read the help page what I am about to tell you will be review, but it is nice to go over it again. Basically due to our licensing and copyright policies it is insufficient for an image or file to be permitted to be distributed on wikipedia alone. Everything on wikipedia that is not fair use is explicitly available for any downstream use, commercial or otherwise. So if you add text to a wikipedia article anyone can take your text and re-use it for nearly any purpose--the same is true for an image. If you want to upload a file which you do not own the copyright for we have to receive some evidence that the file has been released for distribution under a compatible license. This can be as easy as editing the source page to declare the photo to be freely licensed or you may email our Wikipedia:Volunteer Response Team with information about the source and license. The logo may be uploaded as a fair use image (meaning we restrict downstream use but you can retain rights) however fair use images (referred to generally as "non-free content") are much more restricted in terms of use and inclusion. I hope this helps. Protonk (talk) 22:57, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks Protonk. How do I edit my source page? I am new to wikipedia and I can't find my files for the life of me. Victoriakereszi (talk) 15:56, 15 March 2011 (UTC)victoriakereszi

For the purposes of explanation, let us pretend that File:EdPhoto.JPG is based on a photo from Flickr. Each photo page on Flickr has copyright information, so if you had a photo on Flickr that you wanted to upload to wikipedia you could simply edit the Flickr page to release the image under a compatible license. The same can be done on a company or personal website. If the image is not hosted on a website then you probably need to have the copyright holder email the Wikipedia:Volunteer Response Team. Is that better? Protonk (talk) 16:19, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
L._Craig_Martindale
This article should be restored. Martindale was president of The Way International for over 15 years and radically transformed the organisation, often on a whim, changing both the structure, content and operating practices of The Way before being dismissed after being caught abusing his power in an extramarital affair with with several married women working for the organisation. This history should not be lost as it has fundamentally altered The Way International and reaction to 'the purge' Martindale introduced (see main article on The Way International) continues to shape this organisation today -59.167.157.228 (talk) 01:19, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
- While I'm usually the first to argue that expired PRODs should be restored no matter how bad they are, I am reluctant to restore an unsourced biography of a living person to article space. I would much rather send this to the incubator. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 04:07, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
- This article's history contains serious BLP violations. It should not be restored, even to an incubator. Definitely not. The text can be e-mailed to any (logged in) editor who wants to work on it. Unfortunately, the tone of the IPs request would make me suspect he may lack the neutrality to work on this one.--Scott Mac 08:31, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Webcams_(Website)
There are literally hundreds of thousands of porn websites out there, very, very few of them can be considered notable. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:12, 15 March 2011 (UTC) - Webcams as a website, was for two times nominee at XBIZ_Award in 2009 and last time this year in 2011. Various references was used in sections: Live Peep Shows and Third-party sellers and covers adult videochat area and affiliate_programs in this adult website area. Firmly i believe a reason like literally hundreds of thousands of porn websites comes only to destroy, with no relevant ground. Webcams_(Website) is a part of a adult industry niche. Adult videochat websites are different in important aspects than a porn website and Beeblebrox it is into a serious error. For all this reasons i request Webcams_(Website) undeletion article. -Makeet (talk) 21:32, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Removed as it was a talk page of a deleted article. An anonymous user who I believe had also engaged in the AfD discussion had recreated the talk page to offer some evidence of notability. I chose to reply on the article's talk page rather than the user's talk page as I was worried the IP address may change before they saw my response. I believe this deletion was not in line with CSD G8 as the page was useful to wikipedia and included deletion discussion that was not found elsewhere. -Stu.W UK (talk) 00:00, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
- Done I can confirm that the same IP participated in the deletion discussion. On the other hand it seems to be stable and is also still active, while the page was deleted almost 24 hours after your reply and was rather a reaction to the deletion than a contribution to the AfD. In the long run we don't keep these pages, but you may want to point it out to the tagger User:Aleenf1 and the deleting admin User:Sphilbrick. Anyways, I've restored this to your talk page, so you can follow-up, e.g by contacting the IP or by moving it to the Afd's talk page (an option that we don't have for speedies). --Tikiwont (talk) 13:23, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

the grunt band not accounted for
reasoning -Woztok (talk) 15:51, 16 March 2011 (UTC) The grunt band not accounted for: I regret such low IQ brainheads exist in admin, but sadly they are in every major business, and I fail to see apart from a position of little knowledge that Night Gyr can come to the conclusion that he can speedily delete an article. It is quite possible that he gets some power from this as a fetish, which ought to seek medical advice. The article was brief and concise to save space, if I had known that it required more approval and many hands before being accepted then we should be told so in a few words. An encyclopedia lists a subject, and this subject was about Grunt bands of all shapes and sizes including the word grunt, the grunt band not accounted for was a piece of pop history very suitable for an encyclopedia..it told of a band -- a pioneer band that existed with some great history of pop personnel involved, which readers would find interesting if they are looking for connections to events of the pop scene in the 1970's The band had status in its embryo stage, a tour and a record with Liberty records...some of those members were with other hit making outfits, so why on earth isn't that interesting? therefore I request it is undeleted.

Earwig Music Company
A label that exists since 1978 and has since (until today) released dozens of records (Lps and CDs) of notable blues artists just cannot lack 'notability', but rather the article lacks proof of notability - I'm willing to add what maybe has to be added to prove its notability ! -StefanWirz (talk) 13:44, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
- A record six different attempts to create an article about this label are recorded. Not a single one made any effort to provide any evidence of notability, relying instead on the flat statement that it existed. I would suggest you create a new draft article at User:StefanWirz/Earwig, polish it up and get some feedback; then ask the blocking administrator to unblock the name (which has been "salted" to prevent a seventh recreation). --Orange Mike | Talk 14:19, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Sustainable Wildlife Enterprises - Kangaroo
A sustainable wildlife enterprise is not a particular business or is advertising for a business. A sustainable wildlife enterprise is an Australian cooperative system formed for the cooperative sustainable use of wildlife - and in particular to promote conservation through sustainable use - much like the game management systems in South Africa and Scotland (for example). It is a concept not a business. Sustainable Wildlife Enterprises was a system developed by the Australian Government Rural Industries Research and Development Corp and the National Landcare Association. References include: A Strategic Plan for Trialling Sustainable Wildlife Enterprises and Implementation of Sustainable Wildlife Enterprise Trials - Integrating biodiversity and wildlife into agricultural production found at www.rirdc.gov.au.
There is currently a pilot project in central QLD and this might be the cause for someone thinking the page need deleting? Either way, the article can be cleaned up to fit within wikipedia's guidelines better. I believe a Sustainable Wildlife Enterprises is an important concept for australian agriculture and conservation of biodiversity within farming systems. If you cannot undelete the page could you send me the content so we can make another website (userfy?) -AWS10 (talk) 00:23, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

The justification required to create a page is negated by the fact that other artists with less productivity and fame have their page. Further, people clearly want to information about her.

The deletion policy of biography of Bhaskar Mukherjee is very ambiguous. If any Spam authority or organization nominate a person for inclusion his/her name for their biographical source how the person become a Spam? A person earned all the prestige in his life and some one else can make him/her a spam by simply sending a letter to him/her!!! What a joke!!! Are the admin deleteing pages without analysing any thing? What a non-accepting proposition. At the the person have qualitative articles in so reputed journals like JASIST, Elsiever's Library & Information Science Research, Journal of Academic Librarianship, IFLA Journal, Scientometrics and published book by Chados, UK. I have little doubt about any professional from LIS field in India having such a parallel profile with Bhaskar Mukherjee. There are so many other entries with low profile also available in wiki. I feel the administrator must not have some biasness towards the person, which leads noice. So it is better to unblock the file to edit with necessary modifications before final uploading to wiki. It is highly objectionable to delete a entry without considering the fact. -220.227.97.99 (talk) 05:23, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi. This article was deleted with comment "A7: Article about a company, corporation, organization, or group, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject". In de-WP you can see that this company produces games and toys and has more than 3500 employees. The company has a lot of established trademarks. That should indicate enough of importance. Greetings -Heiko (talk) 13:12, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

However, the fact remains that I did write the original article (which should not have been listed), and I am requesting to view what I had written for myself and myself only. I recall questioning people on the topic and using real quotes for the article, and having not saved it originally has been troubling me for quite some time. As I'm sure you know, I listed the article in 2008 and the mere fact that I am here trying to recover my work should speak for itself. I do truly apologize for the nature of the page ("attack page"), and I do not intent to list anything like that ever again. I am only asking for your permission to view MY own work for personal reasons. It isn't important how this is achieved; if you could e-mail me a copy of the page that would be enough.
I understand that my actions in the past may make you reluctant to comply with my current request. That is fair, after all I had originally re-listed the page twice. I have since matured and learned why the page was unacceptable and against Wikipedia's terms. So I am promising not to re-list the page, for whatever that is worth right now. I believe I have demonstrated sufficient regret and remorse for my actions for you to believe that I am being honest. As it stands, I am truly just looking for a gesture of kindness and good faith. I have been wishing to recover the page (a page that I had written and should have never been posted to wikipedia) for personal reasons for years, now. I am just hoping that someone (you) is willing to take a few moments of their time to help me out. If you would please consider my earnestness on this subject, I would very much appreciate it.
