This motion is to unsalt only. As one of the key fictional elements of the television series

WP:FICTIONs guidelines for article growth. Keeping this page salted would be much like salting Death Star or Starship Enterprise because previous versions of these articles did not meet Wikipedia guidelines. It the meantime, it can redirect to Cosmic Era Mobile Units with the other casualties of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CAT1-X Hyperion Gundam series --Farix (Talk) 23:31, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply

Briefsism (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|AfD)

This has been deleted several times as a hoax, and now locked from being re-created. It's real, there are sources verifying its existence, and it's notable (why would David Beckham be a well-known follower of it??). Also, it should go through AFD again. I have reliable sources that prove its notability and existence. Apoplexic Manager 20:57, 13 January 2007 (UTC) Apoplexic Manager (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Overturn Briefsism is notable: look at the amount of famous people who follow this parody religion: David Beckham, Hilary Duff to mention a few. It was not made up in school one day, and has existed since 1991 in Great Britain. This should really go through the deletion process again. I can assure you it's not a joke, briefsism does exist - there's enough sources on it on various websites, notably the London School of Economics website. OK, speech over. Please just put it back for deletion again, full history and whatnot. --Apoplexic Manager 21:35, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse deletion, unless someone provides me with an exact link to a reliable source that gives non-trivial coverage. I don't care about assertions that this site or another has it somewhere; I have spent more time than I should have researching this. And why would I believe that it's notable because all these people follow it without sources saying that they actually do? -Amarkov blahedits 22:13, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Undelete Balloon Fetishism. The lack of 'scholarly research' on a under researched subject should not be a reason to delete an encyclopedia entry. The internet is full of commercial, public, and personal websites devoted to the topic of Balloon Fetishism. Here is several informative websites: http://www.deviantdesires.com/map/balloon.html http://www.answers.com/topic/balloon-fetishism

Here are numerous Balloon Fetish online communities (some straight and some gay):

  • I know two ballon fetishists, and know of a few who gained notable fame. This is a real fettish. There is alot of proof its a real fettish, Google it, ask around, look at the links someone above appears to have provided.

This delete simply doesn't make sense Sven Co-op is one of the more popular mods for HL1, no more or less notable than any other. The AFD was a joke, "

WP:SOFTWARE" is nothing more than a Proposed Guideline and the admin deleted without any kind of consensus. It was listed for a deletion review before, [[3]] where yet More good reasons for its survival were provided. Thedreamdied 14:13, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply

What hahnchen said. Talk to Marphy and help get the sources integrated into the article, then open up the DRV (or just talk to an admin because I'm pretty sure with the sources they'll be happy to move it back). It's not that DRV isn't allowed multiple times, but you haven't really mentioned any new information since then. Notability is not popularity. ColourBurst 16:10, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, the article was unsourced, but that doesnt make any of the information invalid or incorrect - anyone who has played the game knows that its fine. Why didn't the relevant editors simply tag it with an 'unsourced statements' tag and wait for someone to sort it out? Deleting it was unneccessary. Thedreamdied 21:10, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Because no one participating in the AFD could be bothered to find sources, or believed that none could be found. It's going to get deleted. If its a relatively fringe subject such as this, you're going to need some secondary sources for it to survive and AFD. -

I was amazed at the fact this page was removed, they are possibly the most prominent band currently on the

Guardian (newspaper) love them. Mike Skinner from the Streets played them on Radio 1! Theyve worked with Bloc Party, Plan B and Klaxons! Hardly worthy of deletion--Acertainromance 13:59, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply

Edit: Also found out that they supported Metric (band) and as a result found a number of reviews on them including ones on BBC music.--Acertainromance 23:08, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Job for a Cowboy (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|AfD)

now almost mainstream Death band

This article has been deleted one year ago, because the band did not meet at the time the notability requirements of

WP:BAND
. It is not the case anymore now, and here are the reasons why I think it should be undeleted :

  • over 200,000 views on their myspace and over 100,000 friends [4]
  • they are now on a big independent record label : Metal Blade Records
  • they will do a very big tour in Europe in March / April 2007 (Job for a Cowboy is a Death Metal band) (see [5] here), and in big venues in Europe (Trabendo in Paris, Laiterie in Strasbourg, etc...) Hervegirod 12:18, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Web hits <> notability. Will tour <> have toured. Guy (Help!) 15:27, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Also, myspace <>
      reliable source. You must have had reviews in magazines if you're as good as you claim to be. ColourBurst 16:05, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply
      ]
  • Keep deleted, until someone comes up with
    WP:MUSIC. It's been through afd 3 times (here and here in addition to the one linked above), and deleted each time, and it's also been deleted a total of 27 times with different capitalizations. There's nothing said in the statement above that wasn't known in the latest afd. Please take the time to write a real article in your userspace before requesting undeletion, and preferably wait to see if their future tour will generate some press. Thanks. - Bobet 16:00, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply

  • Big? As in about to tour? That's big? May the good lord preserve us, then, from small bands. Guy (Help!) 19:44, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
They have more than 60 dates on their current tour, from 13 January to April !! Hervegirod 01:46, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

] If they get put back on, there needs to be a "Criticism" section, as they are the butt of many a scenester's jokes, and wecamewithbrokenteeth has a song called "Job for a Brokeback"

  • Endorse deletion, official websites are not independent, Amazon is not a source, and blogs and forums are not reliable. You must provide reliable sources. -Amarkov blahedits 22:18, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Relist : myspace not reliable ? the band Arctic Monkeys became what they are now because of myspace for example. And about what is considered as a reliable source, the only important thing is to know if the band has enough notability. But OK. Here's a list of reviews of their last album Doom : sputnik music, metal coven, the music edge, [http: //www.metal-observer.com/articles.php?lid=1&sid=1&id=10778 metal-observer], Encyclopaedia Metallum, into-obscurity.com, absolute punk, decoy music, metal storm, the metal forge, blood chamber... and this is only some of the reviews, there are more of them, and also there are other sites for band biography, forums, and so on... So, I think there is enough reasons to undelete Hervegirod 01:35, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page had nothign wrong with it The Demented Cartoon Movie (2005, Brian Kendall) is a highly popular flash movie. The Wikipedia Article was full of information on the 30 minute flash based movie, incuding info from Brian Kendall himself. I was really sad to learn that it was taken down (possibly deleted), and that is why I am here. If an Admin can't undelete it completeley, I can understand tha,t but can one of you guys please give me a link to it? THANKS!

It seems like it was deleted for being a sentence about nothing (a valid
A1), and later as a redirect to something that didn't exist, also valid. Nothing seems to be stopping you from making an actual article on it at this point, unless there's a separate deletion not listed here. --badlydrawnjeff talk 03:34, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply

The page was deleted at AfD in November 2006, I accept that at the time, the band did not meet

WP:MUSIC, but since then there have been several things which I feel now make the band notable. When their single was released, they were placed at number 17 in the independant music charts. They were also single of the week on BBC 6music and placed in circulation. The band have now signed with Domino Records which is a major record label (although I understand that this particular point may not matter for ascertaining notability) RyanPostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or let's have banter 00:29, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply
