Windpower Monthly
editHi there
I put up a page for our magazine Windpower Monthly in 2010 and have just found out it was deleted in May. I'm not entirely sure why although I suspect it's because I didn't add enough external links. My apologies, as I my experience on Wikipedia is pretty limited. Just so you're aware, WPM is a real magazine and is the oldest English language publication in existence.
Is there any chance we can get the old page back and make the necessary changes, or at least create a new one that doesn't fall foul of any issues?
Many thanks
Mooroha----
The article Windpower Monthly has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Completely unsourced article that has been tagged for 2 years
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Adrian Michaels
edit
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Adrian Michaels requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. reddogsix (talk) 10:23, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
Mooroha, are you paid to edit Wikipedia?
editMooroha,
I have looked at your contributions, and I suspect you may be writing Wikipedia articles for promotional reasons.
Please read this section of Wikipedia's Conflict of interest guidelines that I have copied and pasted here:
- If the following applies to you:
- you are receiving, or expect to receive, monetary or other benefits or considerations from editing Wikipedia as a representative of an organization (as an employee or contractor; as an employee or contractor of a firm hired by that organization for public-relations purposes; as owner, officer or other stakeholder; or by having some other form of close financial relationship with a topic you wish to write about),
- then you are very strongly discouraged from directly editing Wikipedia in areas where those external relationships could reasonably be said to undermine your ability to remain neutral. If you have a financial connection to a topic – including, but not limited to, as an owner, employee, contractor or other stakeholder – you are advised to refrain from editing affected articles directly.
