Claude Bernard (watch manufacturer)
The company in question actually exists, and bears interest to wristwatch aficionados worldwide. The fact that they are a smaller company does not shadow the fact that they have been featured in the media in southern Europe and are discussed online on forums, as well as their products being available for purchase in physical stores as well as several marketplaces and electronic boutiques online. Furthermore, I would appreciate a more clear definition of "peacock facts". From what was gathered, everything stated in the article was true, objective and factual. It also contained a link to the company'sofficial homepage, wihich contained further press coverage and links. -Wronggray2012 (talk) 14:31, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
- Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. I will notify user Stuartyeates (talk), who proposed it, and who may choose to nominate it at WP:Articles for deletion, which would start a debate lasting seven days to which you would be welcome to contribute. It is not enough that the company actually exists: the criterion for having an article is called Wikipedia:Notability and is not a matter of saying so but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." "Peacock terms" are unsupported adjectives of praise like "high-quality" and "designer", typical of marketing-speak but unsuitable for an encyclopedia article - see WP:PEACOCK. For more advice see WP:Notability (organizations and companies), the WP:FAQ/Organizations and the guide to writing WP:Your first article. JohnCD (talk) 20:54, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
the win awards
reasoning -GingerMomma12 (talk) 19:38, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
The WIN Awards and its parent company a charity, WOMEN'S IMAGE NETWORK is a verified existing company with dozens of external sites posting news and details. The win awards DOT com website UNDER NEWS section lists these external links which include THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, THE HUFFINGTON POST and SHINE, among others. Can you please UNDELETE this page?
- This has been discussed several times in recent years and deemed not to meet wikipedia's criteria. As pointed out above the proposed article was promotional and extremely unencylopedic in tone and content. I can see no reason to reverse the decision of several administrators. Furthermore until such time as the awards are recognised as significant and notable any mention of the WIN awards should surely be deleted from all articles it currently appears on. 21st CENTURY GREENSTUFF 20:45, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
Operation Blue Tulsi
reasoning -139.190.15.229 (talk) 02:19, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
There was a page on Operation Blue Tulsi on Wikipedia which has been removed twice. This was a highly informative article but I do not know why it was removed twice??? Has Wikipedia become part of the conspiracy to destroy world peace? Or was it under some super power's pressure? Please restore the article ASAP as it is bringing bad name to Wikipedia's neutrality, truthfulness and impartiality. Thanks Asim
- I can find no trace of any such article. What was its exact title? How and why is this "Operation Blue Tulsi" notable? --Orange Mike | Talk 03:14, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
Not done I found one at Operation blue tulsi and, assuming the other was similar, it was a copy of [1] and went against several wikipedia principles including not publishing original research and not lifting content form elsewhere. Please familiarize yourself with wikipedia, check out our help pages for more info and consider to write an encyclopedic article if you see fit, but note that the copied 'inquiry' wouldn't even count here as reliable source. --Tikiwont (talk) 09:15, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Women's Image Network
This page is information about a charity serving the world. One editor decided this page was promoting this charity only. This makes NO sense. Does a page about the OSCAR awards promote the OSCARS only? I kindly request our page WOMEN'S IMAGE NETWORK be REIINSTATED. Everbody in the entertainment industry including NICOLE KIDMAN, COURTENEY COX and LAUREN BACALL have references about Women's Image Network and THE WIN AWARDS show which this charity has produced since 1993. It seems a VERY personal attack BY ONE ANONYMOUS EDIOR...WIN does not violate WIKI rules or copyright issues. Thanks you. -GingerMomma12 (talk) 17:29, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
The Adminsitrator FETCHCOMMS cannot be reached. The PROTONIK adam hyland said to challenge / discuss this unwarranted deletion with the admin FETHCOMMS who provides no means of communication to address my request to PLEASE undelete this article on WOMEN'S IMAGE NETWORK, WIN and THE WIN AWARDS.
This admin wrote the reason was below...but IS NOT...this admin may simply be a hater.
G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion. Pages that are exclusively promotional, and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic. Note: An article about a company or a product which describes its subject from a neutral point of view does not qualify for this criterion. "Promotion" does not necessarily mean commercial promotion: anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organisation, a point of view, etc. See WP:NOTPROMOTION for the policy on this. -GingerMomma12 (talk) 18:11, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
In 2010 a WIKI admin FETCOMMS whom I cannot contact deleted WOMEN'S IMAGE NETWORK page. Reasoning? G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion.

This is a 501c3 non profit charity that has worked since 1993 to level the playing field. Maybe Fetchcomm is anti women? This women's image network WIN Awards is cited all over WIKI by others. It's website and other sites verify its public service activities. -GingerMomma12 (talk) 18:19, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
- Not done The deleted article was blatantly promotional in tone. It was removed (reluctantly) in 2010 after the article had gone over three years without a single reliable third-party source being provided to show any evidence that the subject was notable. This does not preclude a new, non-promotional article being written, if some sources can be provided. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:11, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
I submitted 41 outside reliable website sources, featuring WIN and WIN Awards news articles. Like the Grammy Awards langauge:
The Women's Image Network (WIN) Awards
The WIN Awards are named for the charity, Women's Image Network which aims to see women attain parity. Awarded for Outstanding achievements in the media industry Presented by Women's Image Network. Country United States First awarded 1993 Official website thwinawards.com
A WIN Award is an accolade by the Women's Image Network, a charity of the United States to recognize outstanding achievement in the media industry. The annual presentation ceremony features performances by prominent artists, and some of the awards of more popular interest are presented in a widely viewed televised ceremony. It is the equivalent to the NAACP for women, the Tony Awards for stage performances, the Emmy Awards for television and the Academy Awards for motion pictures.
The first Women's Image Network (WIN) Awards ceremony was held in 1993 in Los Angeles, and presented to producer Laura Ziskin (Pretty Woman) and Tichi Wilkerson (Women In Film Founder and was set up to honor entertainment industry professionals who create dimensional female media images. Following that ceremony, Women's Image Network overhauled its WIN Award categories for 2002. The 13th WIN Awards were held in February, 2012, in Los Angeles, California. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GingerMomma12 (talk • contribs) 20:19, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

The Methos Chronicles
Article was deleted unfairly as being about a 'non-notable' fan-project show and dismissed as 'horrible quality'. These are subjective views, and since fan-show does have real ties to the original show (e.g. one of the same lead actors) the 'non-notable' and 'completely fan-based' reasons for deletion are factually wrong. -87.115.5.156 (talk) 19:33, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Liana Werner-Gray page deletion
Hello, I am writing in regards to the deletion of the Liana Werner-Gray(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liana_Werner-Gray) Wikipedia page. I went to visit the page last week and noticed this message "concern was: spam lacking a solid claim to notability. awards shown are not major. packed with deceptive and misleading sourcing, verging on a hoax article. full of sources that verify associated aspects but not anything to do..." I'm not sure what led to this conclusion, but I assure you, the information shown on the page is 100% legitimate, and I am requesting that it be undeleted. The awards listed, while not major according to the opinion of the deleter, are real awards so there was nothing deceptive about mentioning them. I have contacted the administrator who is stated on the deleted page, and apparently it was not his conclusion, and the quoted was a statement that another editor added. So that is what led me here. I must respectfully say that I disagree with this deletion and will back up my opinion with proof if need be. Thank you.

00:32, 30 September 2012 Explicit (talk | contribs) deleted page Ripple monetary system (Expired PROD, concern was: lack of WP:N. After cleaning up irrelevant references, only one survived, with mere two and rather transitory paragraphs about 'Ripple')
Hello, I was looking for this article and saw this is had been deleted. If you would reinstate it the Ripple community can continue to improve it :)
'Ripple' is an important projects that develops better monetary systems protocols, it´s an open-source software project for developing and implementing a protocol for an open decentralized payment network. It is discussed by senior researcher David Hales, Department of Computer Science, University of Bologna, in this video (from 3:21), and described in detail on these domains : http://ripplepay.com and http://ripple-project.org/ ; both verifiable third party source
Those three sources above are all verifiable third party sources according to WP:N, Ripple is a topic "worthy of notice" :)
If you can reinstate the article, we can get on with adding better references, Ripple actually has potential to change our economic systems for the better, you should check it out!
Cheers! Johan

Before deletion, a number of references had been removed which did not even mention Ripple: to establish WP:notability requires references that show "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."

NYC_EMS_Black_Sheep
i dont understand why it was deleted. the page is about a factual fratenal organization that exists in New York City Emergency Medical Services. It has existed for 37 years. All information was being added according to Wiki requirerments & editing was on going since the page was only created aproximatly 3pm EST. And was deleted less then 5 hours later. Your claim of ""A7" for articles that do not satisfy notability,", doesnt make sense since editing was going on & i was & a few others were in the process of adding citations, reference notes, bookmarks & footnotes. -Archie nieman 00:52, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- While I appreciate their (and your) dedication, the group seems indeed not to meet our inclusion guideline for organizations, not to mention a style far away from an encyclopedic article. If you think such an article is warranted, please read this and try from scratch. If you want to have it restored for personal purposes, let me know. Best wishes, --Tikiwont (talk) 20:12, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
Ideate 3.0
The page talks about the annual competition organised by the PMI Working Student Chapter at NMIMS MPSTME. It is not any sort of publicity. Rather the address is given only to people who register for it. So, that they can acquaint themselves with the schedule,format,history of Ideate. Just like any competitive exam like iit jee, Ideate is the ultimate quiz when it comes to Project Management. I would request that this page not be deleted so that students all over can make use of it. -Pratyaksh.nmims (talk) 06:36, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

David López Ribes
Article deleted as CSD A2, possibly existing on the Spanish Wikipedia, but the article's creator created my user page with a comment (which is also in Spanish) saying that he needs help to improve the article so that it is not deleted. This comment is now moved to the talk page. This article should be undeleted so that the author, and anyone else willing to help, may improve the article which may also include translating it into English. Once undeleted this page should be listed at WP:PNT. -jfd34 (talk) 09:19, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- Not done Having it as such in article space is actually a situation that we're trying to avoid. WP:PNT is for stuff that we have (only) here, so it needs to be translated in place. There is no such need for articles that exist at a sister wiki (Es:David lopez) which are dealt with at Wikipedia:Translation, not to mention that the author has a copy. If you want to to help and advise him, you could restore it to your user space from the spanish wiki, but I'd start with a well sourced stub if you see the potential. --Tikiwont (talk) 20:34, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Christian Storm
Hi there, my page on Christian Storm, a UK choreographer has been deleted. I had discussions with a moderator who gave me some advice on how to make it better. I added in a good amount of secondary sources (online articles etc) to back up work that he had been involved in and it was still deleted. There are a number of other choreographers on wikipedia and I emulated the style of their pages quite closely to ensure that the article would get through. Seems it has not and this seems a little unfair/confusing as the issues levelled against my articles could apply to any choreographers on wikipedia. This person is of note, is a minor celebrity here in the UK (married to a pop star, went out with one of the Spice Girls, and has been professionally involved with some of the world's best known acts. All of this is mentioned, and referenced.
I did have a discussion with a moderator and worked very hard to improve the article, and it was still deleted. If possible, I would like to get the content back so perhaps I can improve on it further. I spent hours on it and (by my own fault) did not back up the latest version. If I could get the content back, I would be very grateful and I can discuss further with you guys on how to get it to stay.
Thanks very much! -Kurt K Hahn (talk) 10:18, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

I do not understand why someone had such a hurry they did this, isn't it reasonable to give some time to work, lol. At least a couple of hours.

In order to take time over developing an article, it is best to work on a draft in your user space. I have "Userfied" this for you to User:Tulku Yeshe Trögyal/Lama Gelek Gyamtso where you can work on it. Before returning it to the main encyclopedia, please check with user Yunshui (talk), the admin who deleted it, or alternatively use the "Submit the page" button at the top of the draft to send it to WP:Articles for deletion, where an experienced user will check it and either accept it or give you feedback. To establish WP:Notability, you will need to cite references to "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." JohnCD (talk) 17:25, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
I participated in this debate league and appreciated having this list available online. I understand the results may be outdated, but at a minimum, I'd appreciate being able to access the old page to copy the results before it is permanently deleted.

Trypophobia
This article was deleted a few years ago under the false assumption that it was a hoax or fabrication. However, new research has been done on the topic, summarized in a Washington Post article (which also pokes fun at Wikipedia for deleting it), See: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/phobia-about-holes-is-not-officially-recognized-but-uk-scientists-look-into-it/2012/10/01/c1797a8c-dff0-11e1-a421-8bf0f0e5aa11_story.html?hpid=z5 Many maladies not officially recognized by medical establishment have WP pages, including phobias. Among them: Ephebiphobia, Drapetomania, Gay bowel syndrome, and Miliary fever. Deletion was based on erroneous assumption that it was a hoax or fraud, not that it was not officially recognized. In addition to Washington Post, references to the malady are in several books, including Abnormal Psychology (2009), Linguistics for Everyone (2010), and Face Your Fears: A Proven Plan to Beat Anxiety, Panic, Phobias, and Obsessions (2012). -Edgar Vekilnik, Jr. (talk) 14:00, 2 October 2012 (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/Trypophobia, 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 seicer (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. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:45, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

- Sorry about that. Wikipedia is very cautious about neologisms - see WP:NEO - and people keep trying to post silly made-up phobias like Arachibutyrophobia (a morbid fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of one's mouth, in case you wondered). You have done just the right thing to make a draft, and it looks as if you may have a case, but the title has been salted because of many previous attempts, so talk to the salting admin, user Orangemike (talk), who is definitely not retired, and if he does not agree go to WP:Deletion review. Apologies for our rather Byzantine processes: there is usually a human guide to help you through the jungle. JohnCD (talk) 16:41, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

The Earth Diet
Greeting, I am writing in regards to the deletion of The Earth Diet page. I have already contacted the person who deleted the page (11:48, 7 August 2012 Jenks24) and they directed me here. I had recently made an appeal for the undeletion of a related page (Liana Werner-Gray) which you accepted. My argument to Jenks24 was that The Earth Diet is a legitimate company and that none of the information listed on the page is false. According to Jenks24, the company's legitimacy was not the issue and rather it was an issue of a lack of notability. My argument was that who is to determine the notability of any company and at what level does notability warrant having a wikipedia page? Furthermore, isn't it a bit ridiculous for a page about an an existing company to be deleted merely because certain people don't deem it notable? I know there is a process by which pages are deemed unworthy of a wikipedia page, but there are scores of other dieting companies similar to The Earth Diet that have existing wikipedia pages like South Beach Diet or The 100 Mile Diet, so why is this one singled out? To be honest, it seems a little fishy that both Liana Werner-Gray and The Earth Diet were deleted so hastily around the same time. It seems to me personal opinions may have taken importance over facts. Jenks24 told me to come prepared with evidence to back up my request and I will gladly supply whatever is needed to get the page undeleted. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

- We have very specific sets of standards for notability, both for biographies and for companies. On a planet of seven billion people and rising, many people and many companies are not notable. There's nothing "fishy" about that; whereas your eagerness to publicize this obscure person and her obscure company seems a little fishy to us here (although we do try to assume you are working in good faith. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:25, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- You say "obscure", but the fact of the matter is The Earth Diet is being used by many people around the world and is continuing to grow. I am among these people and it's not even an exaggeration to say it changed and ultimately saved my life. It promotes eating only the foods the earth provides naturally and using natural remedies to cure disease. By keeping this wikipedia page off the internet, you are preventing a good source of information from being shared, and in turn preventing the world from becoming a better place. In my opinion, if you care at all about this planet, this page will stay up. SFiteni (talk) 19:37, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- So: you say, "It's up-and-coming, the next big thing" and "I like it" and "It's useful"! If you follow those three links, you will find that none of these is considered a valid argument for retention of an article about a topic not yet notable. (I will ignore the ad hominem appeal to the pathetic fallacy.) --Orange Mike | Talk 20:27, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

- How does one determine the notability of a company, or any subject for that matter. It's quite simple. We look at in-depth coverage from reliable, third-party sources. If there is no such coverage, or such coverage is trivial or based on press releases, then the subject is deemed not notable. —Farix (t | c) 14:17, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

The entry was a valid entry detailing a hospital radio station based in Livingston, West Lothian.

Articles concerning people will be deleted on sight if they are considered to be unambiguous advertising or promotion, or if they do not contain a credible assertion of the significance of the subject. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:42, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

File was deleted with absolutely no discussion or prior warning. It seems like the administrator (User:Explicit) is abusing his/her power. The file was deleted for Wikipedia:CSD#F7 for violating Wikipedia:NFCC#1 which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. The file was a low-resolution screenshot of a YouTube video used in one article (linked above), and was used in a perfectly viable context where it contributed to the article. As Wikipedia:NFCC#1 states, "Can this non-free content be replaced by a free version that has the same effect?" The answer is simply, no. Any other low-resolution screenshot would also be non-free content. Seeing as the specific section the file was in is Jay_Park_videography#YouTube, a screenshot of a notable YouTube video cannot be substituted with text. -Just unknown (talk) 19:13, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

The page was deleted for apparently being unimportant. The product (Dari Framework) is a technical software framework that was released as open source on 27th Sept. It is an important release, as the framework has been used internally for 3 years to power some of the top websites on the web. The company behind the framework, Perfect Sense Digital (www.perfectsensedigital.com), decided to release the framework for free, under the BSD license and did so by exhibiting it at the annual JavaOne Oracle conference in San Francisco last week. The framework is an important addition to the Java community. Below are links showing the credibility of the company, and the framework.

I was looking at Cory Doctorow's page, and noticed that he wrote 7 science fiction books, all of which have their own pages - except for Pirate Cinema, whose page was apparently deleted, but couldn't identify the method it was deleted; these things seem to be unclear. It seems a bit illogical that only this page was missing. If it was a poorly written article, then the person who deleted it instead of rewriting it made a bad choice; criticizing instead of improving doesn't help much. I think the article about Pirate Cinema should be restored.
