Cyberoam security certifications

This happened too fast. Today morning I received a speedy deletion tag on

Professional_certification_(computer_technology)

Please note the

Zend_Certified_Engineer
and other certification pages. They all revolve around certification courses that are fairly popular on Google. None of them are as famous as the one that has been deleted. I want a way to rewrite the deleted article again if there is a concern of unnecessary promotion. It can be trimmed down. --

Please undelete this article and provide me the old copy. -Tech editor007 (talk) 13:38, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Grechishken, Pavel

This is a page for a Russian artist who died in 2008. He was a master landscape painter who received national and international recognition for his work. There were at least two books of his paintings published, in Russian. All of the material about him is in Russian, hence some of the difficulty making a page in English. I have, however, been able to cite two books, one specifically about his paintings, and another about Russian painters in India, in which he is mentioned. There is a third book that will be referenced when I am able to obtain the information. This artist devoted his life to his paintings, and his paintings are great works. He should not be excluded from Wikipedia because of my inexperience as a Wikipedia article author. I was, and will continue to work to improve the article, the language, the references and by adding images of his paintings. The main thing I'd like to stress is that this was an artist who dedicated his life to art and to painting, mostly, the beauty of his country. I'm sure he deserves a Wikipedia page as much as any professional athlete. -Nicholasbee (talk) 15:17, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Broadway (band)

This is an upcoming band from Florida that is signed to an independent record label, Uprising Records. There is no reason they should not have a wikipedia page, and i have all the information and sources available to write one up for them. If there was no specific reason for them not to have one, I would like to be permitted to make a page for them, which then could be edited by anyone in the future, but there are many less known bands that have pages so I don't see why not. -The.blinding.light (talk) 17:01, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Rule 34

There will be a novel published in the next year, with "Rule 34" as the title.

It will be by the noted SF author Charles Stross. By banning "rule 34" you are censoring book-publication, which is contrary to Wikipedia's remit, as I understand it. Please refer to: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2010/09/incidentally-2.html

Globus family of brands

While I understand that some Wikipedia editors do not want companies listed in Wikipedia because they think it's advertising, when a company lists more than 10 third-party references in the form of unbiased articles to support an article, it's unacceptable that an article is deleted. Furthermore, if the Globus family of brands was deleted, I could come up with a list of 1,000 or more companies that should also be deleted. I will continue to contest this until it's fairly and properly handled. -Melaniegravdal (talk) 12:32, 15 September 2010 (UTC)Melaniegravdal (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Avalon Waterways

This Wikipedia article was up for more than a month and edited by several sources. It did not contain any advertising and instead, only sourced and referenced approximately 10 third-party editorial articles including USA Today, Travel+Leisure, Conde Nast Traveler, Travel Weekly, etc.. I understand some Wikipedia editor's insistence to keep companies off the site but unfortunately, deleting Avalon Waterways and not many of the company's competitors - or the rest of the companies on the site, for that matter - is unfair and was improperly handled. -Melaniegravdal (talk) 12:35, 15 September 2010 (UTC)Melaniegravdal (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Sterling Jewelers

reasoning -198.70.201.220 (talk) 17:57, 15 September 2010 (UTC)


The administrator who deleted this page claimed it was for G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion. Although there may have been spots on the page which should not have been there, and may have been somewhat promotional in language, there was also much of the history of this 100-year old company.

The page should not have been deleted via speedy deletion, but could have been nominated for deletion discussion. Also, flags could have been placed to point out which parts of the page fell under the G11 opinion, but certainly the whole page should not have been deleted.

I found one that was speedy deleted back in May at Sterling Jewelers, but that is all I can offer up.- McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 22:13, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
Sterling Jewelers, Inc., is the parent corporation of both Kay Jewelers and Jared The Galleria of Jewelry in the US (as well as a number of regional chains), and their corporate offices are located in Akron, Ohio. I had read the page on Wikipedia several times, latest being late 2009, and it had been there for some time. When the page was deleted, all discussions and history were also summarily deleted. Checking archive.org did not find anything, as they don't appear to archive Wikipedia's contents, just the front page. People I have discussed this with have suggested it may be vandalism, (since instead of being edited or flagged, or even submitted for deletion discussion, it was speedy deleted), but I have no way of having any real evidence of that. 03:03, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Looking at the edit history of that article, it looks like an anon placed multiple {{
db-spam}} tags throughout the article. A legitimate editor came through and it looks like they removed one of them, but it must have still been in the speedy category because of the other speedy tags therein, and it was thus deleted. The article did have an {{advert}} tag on it as well, which can be analyzed later, but I think the G11 is something that can legitimately be contested here. --Kinu t/c

Two_Knotty_Boys

As a frequent user of Wikipedia, I believe the article on the "Two_Knotty_Boys" had merit to remain on the site. I believe the person who deleted it did so due to personal or moral bias. The "Two Knotty Boys" are known internationally for their demonstrations and classes on sexually related materials including how-to books on Japanese Shibari or rope bondage. The material they have presented in their books and classes has provided valuable safety & creative guidance on the subject. The article also listed general information on rope bondage techniques and practices tastefully and without showing lewd (US Federal definition) content. Having attended seminars of theirs and as the owner of several of their books, their article was relevant and of more than mere regional interest.

As previously noted, I believe who-ever deleted this article did so without good reason but due to a personal or religious agenda. Given that, I ask that their article be restored.

    • can you prove that by adding a cc-by-sa-3.0 license to the pages on that web site you want to make available in Wikipedia? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 13:55, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

I wish to appeal the deletion of the "Two Knotty Boys" Wikipedia entry. I believe it is harder to quantify popularity in subjects of Kink because it is a special interest area that also deals with sensitivity of exposure to some individuals. As such, information is harder to find and can be restricted behind registration only access forums, websites, etc. These locations will not be indexed by Google, and knowledge is only available to people within these communities. Two Knotty Boys are well known within the bondage community and have made over 11 years of contributions back to it. They are celebrated as educations and advocates of open sharing of information within the BDSM scene. They give workshops through out the year, have been reviewed or mentioned by newspapers, including Playboy publications. -Binarynomad (talk) 16:22, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

As a frequent user of Wikipedia, I believe the article on the "Two_Knotty_Boys" had merit to remain on the site. Apparently the reason that was given for the deletion was that they are only of local interest or not even that, which is simply not true. I live in Vienna, Austria, Europe and they (being from San Francisco) are well known here in the BDSM-scene for their books and information materials on rope bondage, and this is also the case in Germany and probably also in other European countries. - I'd say that indicates more than just "local interest" in their work. The wikipedia article on "Bondage_rigger" rightfully lists them among as notable bondage riggers. They are known internationally for their demonstrations and classes on sexually related materials including how-to books on Japanese Shibari or rope bondage. The material they have presented in their books and classes has provided valuable safety & creative guidance on the subject. The article was relevant and of more than mere regional interest.

Lex and Terry

This is a popular radio show, article could have been locked instead of deleted. This article had been getting a lot of edits recently because the show hosts had mentioned people editing their wiki entry. This obviously put it in the minds of several listeners to mess the the article. -68.102.153.36 (talk) 15:49, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, in general we don't delete speedily articles that survived an AfD and there would also be less spammy versions to revert to. I'll drop Fetchcomms a note.--) 17:34, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
Agreed, I know this isn't DRV but we should undelete it and ) 00:56, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
It's been a copyvio for months, and older versions are no better. Revisions since 2006 have been filled with trivia, spam, and material that reads like it was pulled off another website. A 2006 AfD for a stub of the article resulted in no consensus, but few sources have emerged since then and when I deleted it. Obviously, not a short-term issue, and vandalism wasn't the main issue at all. If someone wants to work on this, it would be much easier to just start over, because I see very little (essentially none, really) salvageable material currently. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 02:00, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

My user page got speedily deleted because it fit criteria G8 for speedy deletion: A redirect for a deleted page. This is because I moved my user page to a different title and made the title "User:Troodon58" a redirect. However, the new user page with the different name got deleted, so User:Troodon58 became a redirect to a deleted article. My user page got deleted by accident because of confusion. Can it please be undeleted? Troodon58 22 September 2010 17:44 (UTC)

You messed things up so badly that I don't know how to restore them. You're better off creating a new userpage from scratch.

669_Radio_Show

The radio show is a local staple that is quite popular, and many other single market entities exist including Radio Shows, Newscasters, and businesses which do not pertain regionally or nationally. It is believe that a rival radio show had issue with posting on the official website forums and may have come here to influence deletion. The page also is mentioned with Crispin Glover, WCSB, and Norton Furniture. The Wiki for 669 Radio Show had links to articles in multiple magazines and awards that the show was won and the host has also won. The reason for deletion was "single-market local radio program with no properly sourced notability" which is incorrect as many links to articles and magazines with published articles are a part of the page. If the page cannot be returned, the host of the radio show would like to be able to copy the information from it as some of the links he needed were on the Wiki page.

WP:NMEDIA", and though the article has a large number of references, two out of three that I checked did not actually mention "669" at all. If you want to help the article, weed out irrelevant references and make sure there are enough that provide "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."

Interstate 90 Business

This page serves a valuable purpose as a disambiguation page. Interstate 90 Business exists in many cities and towns across the US.

Interstate 90 Business (Post Falls, Idaho)). Interstate X Business is then used as the disabiguation page. The deletion log entry gives a reason "(db-r3)", which appears to reference CSD R-3. That provision relates to "redirects from implausible typos or misnomers" and clearly would not apply. Undeleting the page should fix this error with less work than recreating the page from scratch. -Sehome Bay (Leave a message

The only content in the history there is #REDIRECT [[Interstate 90 in Montana]]. Just create a new disambig page with what you want to be there, there's no need to undelete the old redirect, especially since that's not anything like what you want to be there.

Not at all, and please assume good faith. By themselves, the articles as written should have been deleted. However, with proper rewrite, and not trying to shoehorn info in as was done (i.e. Chinese names for Japanese places), both contain useful and Wikilike information which will be sifted and used in the seeds of Chinese placename etymologies and Japanese placename etymologies, as exist for Germany and North America and so on. Again, ouch and surprisingly beneath you. Have my requests/edits thus far bespoken that I use them frivolously?--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 09:57, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Massimo Osti

I don't understand why the article was tagged "G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion". Was present in wikipedia since one year with no discussion about his presumed promotion. The article has been linked from a press released the 3 of september for reference about Massimo Osti biography, but the wiki content hasn't been modified. Moreover, the wiki was the only "official" biography on Massimo Osti and we have no copy of the text anywhere, so would be really important to have the opportunity to restore it. thank you -Supahfly (talk) 16:01, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Because it was a shameless piece of press-agent puffery, and had no legitimate sources for any of the extravagant claims and bragging it contained. Who is the "we" referred to when you say we have no copy of the text anywhere? --Orange Mike | Talk 16:13, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

"We" are the family of Massimo Osti and we worked hard to build his biography. I'm his son. I worked several month interviewing many people and putting together the pieces to trace his professional history. Everything I wrote is documented, but in most of the cases I've physical evidence (lables, garments, testimony from people worked with him) that is not possible to link to. I found few articles and blogs online to support what I wrote, and I linked them in the resources. If you think this is a "hameless piece of press-agent puffery", I would have been glad to receive a comment to the article to have the opportunity to improve it, instead to having it deleted with no explanation. I'm sorry, I'm not into wikipedia, but from what I understood, this is the spirit of the project. May I have a copy of the text please?

Then that's unfortunately
