This page was deleted in 2006 by administrator Golbez, who is still active. (I could have asked him to undelete, but I prefer to try the formal process so that other opinions can be heard.) There is no explanation in the deletion log, so I don't know whether the page was deleted as a copyright violation or because of notability concerns.

If it's a copyright problem, I'll write the article myself, or I'll ask

Joe Garagiola, Jr., who is the general manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks, is no less notable than Theo Epstein, Mark Shapiro, Jim Hendry, and others in the same profession. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 17:53, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply

The MacCast (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)

I am writing to request that you re-list the page related to my podcast. I currently have a page listing my bio here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Christianson and the Wiki link to the information on the podcast itself is a dead since this page was removed. Alphachimp de-listed the page citing CSD A7 - Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject. My podcast is listened to by over 25,000 people worldwide each week. I would argue that is "significant". The show provides entertainment value on par or equal to that of other radio and video shows that are listed elsewhere on Wikipedia. Please reconsider the decision to remove this content. Thank you. -- Phylaxis (talk · contribs · logs) 17:08, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Latitude Group (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)

This page was speedy deleted on the basis that they were an advertisment/spam. This may have been the case however I believe that the company in question is in factnotable per

The Financial Times [3] and The Daily Telegraph [4] as well as numerous other sources [5], [6], [7], [8] the company and those associated with it have also won several awards [9], [10], [11]
. If successful I would also like to nominate Latitude White - a page speedy deleted for similar reasons - which covered a subgroup of the company. If restored some of this content could be merged into the main article. Guest9999 12:07, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Undelete as the deleted article wasn't purely blatant advertising... the infobox and the 1st/3rd paragraphs for example wouldn't need to be totally gutted to write a decent article on this subject. G11 is really only for pages that contain nothing we'd use in a hypothetical good article on a subject. --W.marsh 14:03, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse speedy deletion. Note that the listed page was only a redirect to the former article
    neutrality issues, and puffery: Latitude’s stated aim is to help companies achieve the best possible position on search engines’ results pages and obtain high click through rates and ROI from online marketing. Latitude’s services are underpinned by COBRA, a unique bespoke bidding, reporting and tracking software product that has Microsoft Gold Accreditation . . (Do we need the barbarous word bespoke?)

    Recognition within internet advertising industry publications and awards is not really enough to get this one over the hump; and, like I said, businesses like this need to be scrutinized very strictly and don't get the benefit of a doubt. Suggest that the result of an AfD on this article would be a foregone conclusion. - Smerdis of Tlön 15:04, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply

  • Overturn per W. Marsh and Jreferee, in that the idea behind G11 is to rid ourselves easily of spam for unnotable companies and there was enough to say notability might be met here, meaning AFD would be warranted at best. It's counterproductive, though, for editors to treat every dodgy article about a company as if it were "blatant" advertising. No, it doesn't need to go so far as "click here to buy" to be promotional but we have templates such as {{advert}} that should be tried first, especially if there are indicators of notability. --Dhartung | Talk 10:16, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Patrick A. Reid (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD
)

I closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patrick A. Reid as a pretty obvious keep. It has since been brought to my attention that the content is very similar to Patrick Alexander (cartoonist), an article deleted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patrick Alexander (cartoonist), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patrick Alexander (cartoonist) (2nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 October 5, and this fact was not mentioned in the original discussion. I'm bringing it here to decide what to do with it. Hut 8.5 07:56, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Delete The stealth recreation of this article under a different title has done nothing to address the arguments that have now been done to death numerous times. The same concerns still apply which led to the article's deletion and the subsequent endorsement in the review, even given the fact it's been sat there for well over a month now. If anything, given that the name of the subject is apparently so unimportant that it can be swapped and changed around at will, the claim to notability now appears even more flimsy. It may be worth noting the user responsible for the stealth rehash of this article was made aware of the procedure of resubmition in the deletion discussion, so one starts to question the motives at play here. Hen Features 08:11, 16 November 2007 (UTC) Further comment: it appears worth pointing out that this is precise reproduction of the material which was deleted and then subsequently failed a deletion review. There has been no new information brought to light to justify yet another deletion review debate, and so is clear G4. -- Hen Features (talk) 22:44, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Overturn AfD/Speedy delete - The failure to address at AfD the prior activity for this topic made the AfD out of process. The use of multiple names for the article to game the system should not be encouraged. Without a valid keep AfD, G4 applies. Disclosure: I was promoted by this post to address the matter. -- Jreferee t/c 17:41, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, I'm bothered by the AfD in that it seems legitimate and only is illegitimate if you bring in outside information such as the name change and the failure to list prior AfDs. We normally don't import outside information into a close AfD and we take the consensus as we find it. Here, the AfD was open for five days and all who wanted to comment did comment. And those who did comment did to the extent they saw fit. One of the participants, Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, now is an admin. The closer did interpreted the debate correctly. I don't want to encourage gaming the system, but it appears that the AfD system was used correctly. And if we missed the five day AfD window to bring out problems, then we missed it. I'll leave my mixed message for the closer of this DRV to take into account as he/she sees fit. -- Jreferee t/c 07:55, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sustain or Relist The keep in the latest discussion seems to represent the present consensus. It's no more abusive than repeatedly renominaion an a kept article--the exact same idea. The latest determination holds. DGG (talk) 20:29, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not comparable. When an article is repeatedly brought back to afd, previous participants who expressed their continuing interest in the article by watchlisting it are able to find the new discussion by virtue of it being the same article. Repeatedly recreating a deleted article at varying page titles until our inherently inconsistent afd process results in a keep makes a mockery of consensus. —Cryptic 22:35, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Coment Thank you for inviting me back into the debate. I was neutual in the 1st AfD. I felt there is some notability here. I resent that someone is trying to scam the editors/adninistrators, but there is still some (albeit marginal) notability. Maybe delete all the duplicates, but keep one that is proper. Tiptopper (talk) 17:22, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment "DollyeffingD" was not me, although I have a fair idea who it might be. I don't really care what happens to this article. I have a much better newly sourced article on the artist which I might put in userspace and bring to DRV for discussion some day. Not for some time though. I really have no interest in edit warring with "Hen Features" and its puppets again anytime soon. Credit must go to "Hen Features" for diligently patrolling Wikipedia to make sure that unnotable cartoonist Patrick Alexander is kept off. You're doing God's work. DollyD (talk) 06:17, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I must say it's a relief to see you renouncing edit warring. Your behavior during the previous deletion debates often left something to be desired. If you have an improved article which, unlike all those which have repeatedly been deleted thus far, is able to withstand an AfD, then we can finally put this issue to bed. Sure I wouldn't be alone is being happy to see a resolution to this issue! In working together to that end, you really don't have to come across so sarcastic and provocative. This is only Wikipedia after all, and if you take a step back you'll see it really doesn't need to be taken so seriously! In relation to your accusation on my talk page, I am not DollyeffingD. Hen Features (talk) 09:05, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Hen Features, I do not enjoy edit wars. They are bad. Which one of your puppets did I have the Patrick Alexander edit war against? I forget. I am glad to hear that "DollyeffingD" is not one of your puppets. I was just asking and did not accuse. I sincerely apologise for any offence. I do indeed take this very, very seriously. The debate over whether Patrick Alexander should be included on the Encyclopedia that anyone can edit™ is quite possibly the most crucial issue facing the world today. DollyD (talk) 10:29, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Overturn most recent AfD; speedy delete as CSD G4. Given the sparse participation at the latest AfD, and its failure to understand the underlying circumstances of the article's history, I think overturning its decision is the best result. On the merits, this article doesn't seem substantially different from that which was originally deleted at a much more thorough AfD. I don't a relisting in light of all information will yield a "keep" on the merits, and I do worry about the possibility of rewarding parties who circumvent the deletion process through reposting. If the article were different, or there was real evidence of the subject's circumstances having changed, I would support relisting, but it doesn't appear to me that either of those possibilities applies at present.

Manuela Darling-Gansser (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)

Contribution deleted by Sandstein because of CSDA7. Reason unjustified as Darling-Gansser is renowned author of cook and travel books in Australia, has written numerous articles for major australian newspapers and weekly magazines (incl. Womans Day), artciles for Swiss magazines, is a repeat guest on Australian lifestyle TV shows and has been a guest speaker to cancer charities. her books have been translated into dutch and she has a strong following in Switzerland, Canada, South Africa, Italy and an even stronger one in Australia. She has a long history of famous cooks in her family. I'm one of many passionate amature cooks in Australia who are taken aback by the fact that such a person can not be included in your user orientated encyclopedia. If there are changes that have to be made to the content then i'll be happy to edit the page but to delete it all together with no notification is unjustifiable. thank you. -- Birri85 (talk · contribs · logs) 01:23, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Once a consensus discussion is started as you did with this one, participating admins and non-admins are in the same boat and usually have to wait for the outcome of the consensus to take any action. Your best option is to start a draft article in your use space here to reference it and add citations where appropriate. Once you have completed the draft, present it to DRV and ask that the Manuela Darling-Gansser article be restored using your draft as its next post. -- Jreferee t/c 17:30, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, that quote is not by me, but by Jreferee. I do not know or care whether there are likely to be sources about this person. I deleted the article because it did not provide any sources, it did not assert that there were any sources, and it did not assert that the subject had
