Hi Explicit, can you revisit your G5 decline? I think something was off in the process there. Check out the page history. The sockpuppet recreated the page on 2/19 after it had been deleted (diff). In declining a G6, BusterD temporarily undeleted the previously deleted revisions to enable a comparison that proved it was a sock recreation. I think he planned to re-delete them but perhaps had not gotten to it yet. But the page logs should show it was deleted and recreated and thus eligible for G5. Thanks! Dclemens1971 (talk) 04:04, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@BusterD: Can you confirm this sequence of events? plicit 13:22, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies to everyone for not responding earlier. The full history is still available for evaluation. Two days ago I declined Dclemens1971's G4 on this because many of the sources looked newer than during the AfD. I was happy to undelete all the versions, since I suspected sock puppetry and could see a blocked page creator. On the disruption, this article seems to link to as yet undocumented sock tree. I was going to pry this one open, perhaps with help from Dclemens1971. On the merits, I have no particular interest. BusterD (talk) 14:03, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not seeing any other probable socks in the visible revision history for this article. Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:13, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In that case, I have deleted the page in accordance with G5. plicit 14:26, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Explicit, I would like if you could undelete and reopen this discussion as I was in the process of delivering the in-depth coverage I uncovered only for me to see that it has already been deleted. I also think it should have been relisted since the !votes did not carry any policy-based weight. I, as a matter of fact, have seen why this periodical is notable and am going to establish that. Looking forward to hearing what you think. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:37, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanderwaalforces: Very well, since I closed this discussion a mere two hours ago, I have undeleted the page and relisted the discussion as requested. plicit 13:22, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request to undelete File:Trace Fryer

I just had dinner and saw the deletion. The copyright information was presented to the administrator from the subject of the image. The copyright can be lowered to 2.0, which is the new goal. Starlighsky (talk) 02:59, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Starlighsky: The issue with the file was that you specified a license that does not allow derivative works nor commercial use. This made the image eligible for speedy deletion in accordance for having an improper license. If the photographer is willing to release their work under a less restrictive license, please ask them to follow the instructions at c:COM:CONSENT. plicit 11:18, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya 👋,

Can I please see the deleted World of T-Shirts article? That would be so cool.

Much thanks,

Copy of deleted article "Intentional programming"

Hi, I was hoping you could provide a copy of the last revision of the Intentional programming page. I plan to expand the Intentional Software page by merging in content as mentioned in the deletion discussion. From looking at the Archive.org version of the page, a lot of the intentional programming page was a description of Intentional Software's product, the Domain Workbench, which is of course very relevant to that article. My understanding from Wikipedia:Merge_and_delete#Record_authorship_and_delete_history is I also need the list of authors of the page, for attribution requirements, or maybe you could restore and redirect it.

Copy of deleted article "Prof. Dr. Dietmer J. Manstein"

Hi, I was hoping you could provide me with a copy of the deleted article "Prof. Dr. Dietmar J. Manstein" with a view to revising the article and creating a suitable version? It was not my intention to create a personal web page, rather to provide information on a prominant researcher working within the field of molecular motors. Many thanks! Prof. Dr. Dietmar J. Manstein (talk) 11:25, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:Jude Herrera in 2024 at Petroglyph National Monument, U.S.A.jpg

Hi Explicit. Could you take a look at File:Jude Herrera in 2024 at Petroglyph National Monument, U.S.A.jpg? It appears to be a reupload of File:Jude Herrera.jpg which you deleted a few days ago per F7 and maybe even File:Jude Herrera by L. Casas.png which you deleted per F5 back in December 2024. There's no indication as to why the uploader believes the file's non-free use now satisfies WP:FREER. FWIW, I thought the uploader understand why the other file had been tagged for speedy deletion per F7 based upon their comment at User talk:KennethR11#Replaceable non-free use File:Jude Herrera.jpg, but the reupload might indicate there's still some be misunderstanding regarding FREER. Anyway, I tagged the reupload with {{Rnfu}}, but wondering whether it should've been tagged with something e;lse instead given that it's clearly a reupload in which nothing has changed. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:34, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review for Khushi Dubey

Quadrobers

Hi! What should I do to undelete the article? (See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Quadrobers.) Could you maybe just undelete it yourself? I wasn't here to defend it, but the topic is notable. If even it is a "regional phenomenon" as the sole voter said, it is still notable. The Russian Wikipedia has a highly developed article, see ru:Квадроберы. (Just look at it, it's over 70,000 characters!) --Moscow Connection (talk) 07:55, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Moscow Connection: Hi, this was soft deleted and simply contesting it allows for restoration, so I went ahead and undeleted the page. plicit 10:31, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much! I will think what I can do with it. (Maybe I should rename it.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:13, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Jenny Wright photo use

Hi, before I try uploading another Jenny Wright photo, can I get your opinion? You had deleted File:Jenny Wright Lawnmower Man publicity photo.jpg, but what do you think of the possibility of this headshot being fair use? Thanks. Kolya Butternut (talk) 03:23, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) Hi Kolya Butternut Since Jenny Wright is alive, pretty much no non-free image of her is going to be considered OK to use per Wikipedia's non-free content use policy (more specificaly WP:FREER and item 1 of WP:NFC#UUI. It's important to understand the Wikipedia policy is more restrictive than fair use by design, and one of the ways it is has to do with not really allowing non-free images of living people to be uploaded and used, except in some limited cases. For most articles about living people, only freely licensed or public domain images as explained in c:Commons:Licensing are going to be OK to upload and use, and I don't really see any way for the eBay image you linked to be treated any way other than as non-free without knowing more about the photo's provenance. If, for example, it was first published in the US before March 1, 1989, there's a possibility that it could be within the public domain under US copyright law if copyright formalities weren't properly taken care of, but anything first published on or after March 1, 1989, would still be under copyright protection for many years to come regardless of copyright formalities. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:05, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting. This might apply under WP:NFC#UUI: retired individuals whose notability rests in large part on their earlier visual appearance, a new picture may not serve the same purpose as an image taken during their career, in which case the use would be acceptable. It was more than likely before 1989, but I do not know. Kolya Butternut (talk) 10:17, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think you get too far trying to argue such a thing since Wright is mainly notable for being an actress, not for her physical appearance. You can try such a thing if you want but I doubt it'll work because the same argument could pretty much be made for any living actor, athlete, musician, model, politician, TV personality, etc. who has a Wikipedia article about written about them. If, however, you can find sourced critical commentary in reliable sources (not just mentions but actual critical commentary) about Wright's physical appearance in that particular photo or at that particular time in her life, then maybe others might agree with you; for example, if she underwent plastic surgery or suffered some sort of disfigurement, an image might work in connection with reliably sourced content about such things in a section of the article, but trying to justify using it in the infobox by saying this is how she looked back in the 1980s probably won't be too convincing an argument. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:34, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
