FRIENDSHIP-Framework

We would like to revise the deleted article with some help from our fellow Wikipedians. We tried to stick to the facts, but the article was obviously still regarded as being to advertisemental. The revised form should comform to the rules. So please userfy or send the article by mail -FriendshipSystems (talk) 16:07, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

  •   Done - I have restored it to User:FriendshipSystems/FRIENDSHIP-Framework. You may work on it there.

Thank you. --B (talk) 15:11, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Union of Good

I think it was deleted for political reasons - the group was involved in the Gaza flotilla -65.96.16.36 (talk) 12:53, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

  Not done The article was deleted because most of it was copy/pasted from http://www.ustreas.gov/press/releases/hp1267.htm ... You can re-write the article from scratch if it meets the WP:GNG. –xenotalk 12:58, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
Umm ... that's an original work of the US government ... in other words public domain. It is not copyright infringement. (It may have one or more other problems, but it's not copyright infringement.) --B (talk) 14:58, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
Then feel free to restore, I was only going off the deleting admin's summary. –xenotalk 15:01, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
Upon reading the full text of the article, I concur   Not done for a different reason - there is unsourced negative content about living people, whom the article implies are terrorists. Though the topic can exist and can incorporate text from the press release, the article as it is is not appropriate. There is nothing useful beyond the press release so there is nothing that needs to be restored. --B (talk) 15:06, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
I'd say the only useful content might be the references, but I didn't look too further to see if they were actually RS's. –xenotalk 15:18, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

User talk:Joshua Issac/Archive 1

Deleted for merging the history of User talk:Joshua Issac -Joshua Issac (talk) 13:15, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

  • Looks like this was   Done by another user. If there is something else you need (like the deleted revisions of User talk:Joshua Issac/Archive 1 restored) please ask. (I don't want to just presume and restore them since they may have been intentionally deleted.) --B (talk) 13:35, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Yes, I would like to have the previous revisions restored. I am trying to merge the histories of the talk page, because it was archived by moving and I want to switch to cut-and-paste archiving. Please restore the deleted revisions. Thanks. --Joshua Issac (talk) 14:51, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

  Not done - I believe Soufiane Touzani (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) is what you are looking for. I'm not inclined to restore this because it is a completely unsourced BLP. --B (talk) 15:02, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
I think there's probably some notability here, but I think the article should just be re-written from scratch (or perhaps the deleted can be incubated). There's a lot in a Google News archive search but only 1 in English [1] (a bit of a trivial mention)... –xenotalk 15:37, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Joran van der Sloot

No longer qualifies under WP:ONEVENT. Joran is now suspected of murdering a young woman of 21 years old in Lima, Peru and should have a page other than in the context of Natalee Holloway. Here are some links: [2] [3] [4] [5]. -166.20.224.12 (talk) 19:18, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Forum on Health

Provides a factual information about forming of a company; other companies with similar short, factual and non-advertising information have been allowed; forum on health is not a blog or a forum per-se, it is a name of the company. -Tomstachura (talk) 05:36, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

  •   Not done This article appears to have been correctly deleted as a non-notable company. You are welcome to recreate a new article but you need to start from a position of having something that would meet our inclusion threashold if you want to avoid it being deleted again. That means you need to find detailed independant sources from secondary reliable sources that specifically discuss the company. If you are a new user you should really read and try to understand all of the pages I linked to as you will otherwise have no possibility of understanding the requirements to produce an article on this company that will survive on wikipedia.

Autograph-Cards LLC

It is the official Wikipedia page of the company. It was first deleted by a human, but then it was re-written with links, including an interview about the company. Since then, it was deleted by bots. -Davidomansky (talk) 15:18, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

  • I'm not sure what "official Wikipedia page of the company" means, but it would seem to run afoul of WP:COI and WP:OWN, for starters. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 15:45, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
  Not done In addition to reading the two pages Gyrofrog linked, please see our guideline for inclusion of articles about companies. Nearly every company in existence is an inappropriate topic for inclusion - only those companies which have received significant media coverage are appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia. --B (talk) 19:22, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

The Northeast Quadrant (Blog)

I was not done composing the page please allow me to fix -Nequadrant (talk) 21:30, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

  Not done The page was deleted for being blatant advertising and you'd be better off starting again, reading through the links that have been left for you on your user talk page about the principles of Wikipedia and proper page creation, and also after explaining why your name / editing purpose doesn't breach our guidelines about conflicts of interest, to say the least.

Smart pipe plug

reasoning -Inventor 00:26, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

This page has been deleted. The deletion and move log for the page are provided below for reference.

22:07, 3 June 2010 Bwilkins (talk | contribs) deleted "Smart pipe plug" ‎ (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement (CSDH))

I am the inventor and wrote this very important article. How can an inventor commit an "infringement" against himself? (Bwilkins likes the oil spill shell go on.) America is waiting of this plug to stop the oil gusher, except wikipedia at seemed. I ask only for the time BP has not solved the problem. --Inventor 00:26, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

  Not done Wikipedia is not free webhosting. Please see our guideline for inclusion of articles about companies and products for the relevant notability standards. Your invention may very well be important and might save the ocean from having its own octane rating, but unfortunately, it is not appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia at this time. Our general notability guideline is that a topic is notable when it has received coverage by reliable sources (such as the news media) independent of the subject. Also, please note that among Wikipedia's policies is that all of our content, including images, must be released under a copyleft license. Your images say that they are "all rights reserved", which is not copyleft. --B (talk) 03:10, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

@ B “all rights reserved” could be removed from the pictures, but Wikipedia turns out as the greatest destructive force – after BP. You say: Over solving a national crisis it is more important to enforce some rules… Anyway you made a historic decision and some day millions of Americans will ask you about it. The problem is that all official channels are clogged with – mostly – useless proposals. My official proposal will not even be read by BP perhaps next year! But Google (there are intelligent people) took my article in hours and everybody interested in solving this oil disaster can read it – and it may end up by the right people. I said already as soon the crisis is over Wikipedia can get rid of this “unruling” article. But Wikipedia could not tolerate it even 1 day, but writing unhelpful things every day about this disaster. And why was even my Link galileo.spaceports.com/~wolfhart/oilspill.htm erased in the discussion site of the oil spill? Wikipedia is blocking systematically all information to the existing solution of this disaster. Historically – if everybody know, that this oil gusher could had plugged easily with that new “smart pipe plug” your action will be considered at least as a national scandal. The solution of a national crisis exists, but nobody is looking – nobody is listening. Some – like Wikipedia want even suppress it. You deserve perhaps oil on your doorstep. In frustration--Inventor 13:00, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Murat Ali Dulupçu

references are added -Thakan (talk) 12:45, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
  •   Not done - the article has not yet been deleted. I should note, though, that your references do not appear to be independent of the subject. Simply linking to pages from the individual's publisher or employer does not demonstrate notability. Please see WP:BIO for more information. --B (talk) 15:08, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
I have added more information and references.

Larry Mantle

award-winning radio journalist; not sure why deleted. If article is a mess, send it to my userspace instead of mainspace -Purplebackpack89 18:08, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

  •   Done - please add some actual content to it ... right now, there is nothing. --B (talk) 18:28, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Doug Davis (Pro Gamer)

Definitely a notable person as he was once a top 10 player in the world in video gaming. Deleted because JzG felt that the article didn't show why the player was significant, even though it had been up for 2 years and edited by other admins that approved the article. -FullThrottleEnergy (talk) 20:21, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
  Not done - In addition to the expired PROD, the article was also deleted pursuant to Wikipedia's criterion for speedy deletion #A7 and thus the appropriate forum for seeking redress is deletion review. If you choose to pursue a deletion review, please remember to assume good faith - the issue is the appropriateness of the article and whether or not it was appropriate to delete the article under A7. I would strongly suggest, before proceeding further, that you attempt to locate reliable sources of information, independent of the subject. The "sources" in this article seem to be gaming fora - if he is truly notable, then you should be able to find coverage in actual news media somewhere, not just on blogs, message boards, and standings from competitions. --B (talk) 20:50, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
Not sure who these other admins are supposed to be, it's a likely autobiography (WP:SPA and the article talk page was originally the user's talk page) in fulsome and florid language and virtually all edits were by the same account, whose (few) other edits largely consist of adding links to this article in other articles. Guy (Help!) 23:43, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

File:WopMay1.jpg

Again, not my image but of use on an article I watch about a historical figure, please restore this image so the attribution is intact, then I will fix the licensing tagging. This image needs to be uploaded with a non-free license and fair use rationale. Again, Rlevse already e-mailed it to me, it is a photo of the Canadian WWI aviator, but I would prefer it restored to preserve its attribution path, I will license it properly and write the requisite rationale. -Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 07:02, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

  Done. I have restored it and reset the one-week countdown. --B (talk) 05:06, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
Working on it, probably still wrong yet, but... --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 05:28, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, what you have there is rather confusing. It comes from a British museum and you have copyright tags for American and Canadian images. If this image was first published in the UK and the author is unknown, then as long as it was published more than 70 years ago (1930), it is PD. --B (talk) 15:05, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
Yup, Beao fixed it, thank you for all the help everyone! --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 11:27, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Eleveneleven

The deletion debate was a tie, but the article was still deleted. -Tucayo (talk) 19:56, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

  •   Not done - I count 3 redirect, 2 keep, 1 delete if we're counting heads, but an admin is to evaluate the strength of the arguments, among other things, not just count heads. The close was correct. If you wish to contest it, the proper place to do so is at deletion review, but I doubt you're going to get the outcome you want. --B (talk) 20:02, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
Comment by closing admin - irrespective of numbers, the keep arguments were weak - they amounted to no more than WP:UPANDCOMING. I have declined to change my close. JohnCD (talk) 16:28, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Ola's Kool Kitchen

Ola's Kool Kitchen is a Radio Show on an Internet Radio Station called Radio 23. It has a massive internet fan base of which I myself and many other people I know are avid followers. The show has grown in popularity since it's inception on another Internet Radio station called Radionowhere. Ola is an an extremely likeable, affable presenter and her easy going, 'let the music do the talking' style is reminiscent of the late John Peel. Ola's eclectic musical tastes are reflected in the content of the show and a mixture of old and new music is a winner with fans. As there is no commercial show on terrestrial radio where you can hear new, alternative, exciting, musically ambitious young bands, Ola's Kool Kitchen is the only show I rely on to keep me informed of what is really happening in the world of alternative music. I was very pleased to see Ola's Kool Kitchen on Wikipedia as it fully deserves to be on here as it is a hugely importatnt and relevant part of the musical medium. Many of the new bands that Ola has championed on her show such as 'The Chap' are listed in Wikipedia, so surely it makes sense to have the Radio show that gave these bands their first break on radio to be listed also. Therefore I ask you to reconsider the deletion of Ola's Kool Kitchen as I feel bery strongly that it has earned it's place and judging by the amount fans Ola's Kool Kithchens has on Myspace (nearly 10,000) I would not be the only one.(fixed entry on behalf of original poster JamieB007 (talk · contribs · count)) -Spartaz Humbug! 11:56, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
  •   Not done. This article was deleted in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. Wikipedia generally considers a topic notable if it has been covered by reliable sources independent of the subject. Has this radio show been discussed in the media (other than the radio station's other shows)? Has it received national awards from a major outfit? Please note that the correct forum for seeking redress of this deletion is deletion review, though I would not suggest making a request there unless or until you have found reliable sources that demonstrate the importance of this topic. --B (talk) 12:53, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series

reasoning -Temporal88 (talk) 05:44, 5 June 2010 (UTC)


I am making the request that the article title "Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series" be un-salted and an article be allowed to be recreated for this subject. I fully understand the reasoning for the previous protecting of the title, but in the two years after that I believe that this subject has become notable by Wikipedia's standards on web content. Specifically, "The website or content has won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization." In 2009 the YouTube channel that this series is distributed on was nominated for and won the title of "Funniest YouTube Channel" (Cardgamesftw).

A link to the award: http://mashable.com/2009/12/16/open-web-awards-2009-50-winners/

Additionally, the creator (Martin Billany) has been invited to several conventions as a guest of honor, and I remember seeing something about his videos being hosted on "That Guy with Glasses", which would satisfy "The content is distributed via a medium which is both respected and independent of the creators" (I cannot verify these personally, but I have included these two points as possible additional reasons for reinstatement that could be further examined if this is brought to a debate).

If this is satisfactory reasoning for a reversal of the protection on this title, I would think it most appropriate to create an entirely new article rather than bringing back one of the countless deleted pages. The vast majority were unfit for Wikipedia, fan written and not at all written as an encyclopedia entry. If a new page is allowed to be created, I will do my best to ensure that it remains acceptable by standards.

Temporal88 (talk) 05:44, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

  •   Not done This has already been discussed at deletion review and the award was not found to be compelling. Spartaz Humbug! 11:52, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

hmmm.... even with the series coverage on the internet movie database? I just had this pointed out to me. this would, in addition to the coverage of anime conventions (invitations as a guest of honor) seem to be coverage by a outside sources. I can understand why this page keeps getting deleted given its eventful past, but per wikipedia standards i think it meets notability.Temporal88 (talk) 16:10, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

    • IMDB isn't a reliable source and attending conventions is also not normally taken as evidence of notability. In anyevent, ythis argument isn't for these pages as we only deal with straightforward requests. You probably should discuss this with the deleting admin and take advice on whether you have enough for another deletion review. Bearing in mind that there have already been 2 it would not be worth anyone's time raising another unless you did have really compelling evidence that is new. Spartaz Humbug! 06:27, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
      • alright thanks for the information.Temporal88 (talk) 08:20, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Repurpose

This article describes a new album by Woob who is recognised as a pioneer in the field of ambient music. Articles already exist for the artist and his previous albums. Repurpose is an important new release in its field and justifies a separate article. After a long absence by the artist, it may take a while before the new album is widely known, but this does not diminish its significance to ambient music. The deleted article followed Wikipedia norms, eg infobox, track-listing, cross-references and external links. In creating this article, I have no connection with the artist or the production company. -APB-CMX (talk) 07:12, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
  Not done The issue is that SchuminWeb has also deleted the article Woob itself per WP:CSD#A7. That made the album article eligible for speedy deletion as well. You should contact him directly about it. If you can't agree on a direct restoration, you can either go to deletion review or ask for restoration to your userspace. In any case, the articles need reliable sources in the light of WP:MUSIC.--Tikiwont (talk) 12:56, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Splinters Theatre of Spectacle

I am an Associate Lecturer in Drama in the School of Communications and Creative Arts- Deakin University- Burwood-VIC
The deletion of this page (which has just come to my attention) signifies a serious lack of understanding of the complex and inter-connected nature of the Australian Theatre Industry- and the history of Australian contemporary- avant-guard performance in Australia over the last 20 years

The group in question- Splinters Theatre Company-based in the ACT- was the inspirational training ground/collaborators for a significant number of Australian artists and companies- currently fully visible (and worthy of note) in the industry (both nationally and internationally)- The deletion of this page is a deletion of the necessary link to track the career paths of significant Australian contemporary artists- Please contact me if you require further information-120.19.19.22 (talk) 07:28, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

  Not done - Well, this deletion was already undone more than two years ago. You're more than welcome to help addressing the open issues that the article has had since then.

File:QuickTime on Windows Vista.png (Previous version)

On May 29, revision 363638757, Mono (talk · contribs) tagged File:QuickTime on Windows Vista.png for speedy-deletion, asserting that:
Unfortunately, his assertion is WRONG and MISPLACED because even now you can visit this file and see for yourself that it properly credits the media being played:
Perhaps, this is not the best type of attribution, but the image did NOT merit deletion.
Unfortunately, on 31 May. revision 365123336, administrator Fastily (talk · contribs) uploaded a new problematic version and deleted the previous valid version: This version is obviously a digitally-altered copy of the previous version, only the still image of Big Buck Bunny is replaced with a QuickTime X logo! The window title bar still reads "Big Buck Bunny"! Now this image definitely violates WP:NFCC#3a because Big Buck Bunny was released under a Creative Commons license while QuickTime X logo is copyrighted!
I've dropped a note to Fastily, but until now there has been no response.

Would you please undelete the previous version? -Fleet Command (talk) 08:09, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

  •   Not done. I have uploaded a new version that does not include the logo and does not include the incorrect title bar. Incorporating the "Big Buck Bunny" content isn't a simple/non-controversial undeletion. While it may be released under a free license, it has nothing to do with Quicktime. I'm not sure I like the idea of including an arbitrary screenshot (other than the Wikipedia homepage) to show off a video player, image viewer, tv, etc. Such inclusion makes us too open for promotional use. For example, I could license an advertisement for my business under an appropriate Creative Commons license, then start replacing every video player image with screenshots from my advertisement. Using anything other than a Wikipedia screenshot is just asking for a slippery self-promotional slope. This decision needs more than just one or two eyes looking at it ... perhaps you could open a discussion on the article talk page (using WP:3O to invite other users) or open a deletion review. --B (talk) 15:58, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Ukrainian Youth Association

I just today created an article about this subject under Spilka Ukraïns'koï Molodi, unaware that this article had once existed. The article should really go to this name instead, but to preserve the edit history and salvage any useful information, I request that the article be restored and (later, after a suitable rewrite) the two articles' histories merged. I will of course rewrite the material to alleviate the copyvio concerns that got it deleted in the first place. -Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 09:26, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
  •   Not done - Ukrainian Youth Association has no uninfringing history to restore - it was just a copy/paste from their website with no original text. --B (talk) 13:05, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
Cool, that's what I needed to know! Any way I can get a copy? Don't need the history, but something may be of interest. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 13:15, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

    • Wikipedia generally considers a topic to be notable if there is significant coverage in reliable sources external to the subject. Has this individual been covered in the news media (beyond simply being listed in an article that lists all persons who received a particular medal)? --B (talk) 13:01, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes, this soldier is notable. He is older, joined the Army after his son, a US Marine, was wounded in Iraq. This soldier saved many US lives and was decorated and wounded himself in Afghanistan. Soldier has been covered in Army Times and many other national publications. Please undelete. Why no response?

Wayne Spitzer

I am hoping to undelete this article as there are abundant, if hard to find and/or difficult to format, secondary and third-party sources to support it. I have been slow and perhaps lazy to follow up until now, but would appreciate more time to complete this process. This article was deleted per 'lack of notability' guidelines, but I feel this can be rectified if I but take the time to familiarize myself with Wikipedia's technical requirements. Thank you so much, and best regards! -Akira1270 (talk) 12:33, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Bachir Attar is a notable subject whose Wik bio has been available for a number of years. He did not make any changes to his own bio (using a username BachirAttar), and there are numerous references pointing to his accomplishments that are without dispute. Gyrofrog has stated that he felt Bachir was doing this, but in fact, Bachir Attar cannot write in English. Please restore. Admnistrator Fayssal, who has been uncommunicative to mails, would agree I am sure that Attar is a notable person whose biography should NOT have been deleted.

Sponge Software

Article deleted in breach of wikipedia guideline A7. Instead of deleting articles, it would be polite to contact the author first to encourage more content to be written, rather than churlishly deleting people's hard work. -Coolvidnetwork (talk) 20:34, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
Well, I'd then try to give a good example of politeness and contact the deleting admin User: Athaenara first, maybe explaining the nature of the award. I note that it was written about a Software house, not a piece of software, including an Infobox company. --Tikiwont (talk) 20:55, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
  • (ec)   Not done - Please see WP:CORP for the relevant inclusion guideline. In general, Wikipedia considers topics to be notable if they have non-trivial coverage in reliable sources (news media, etc) that are external to the subject itself (press releases don't count). The overwhelming majority of companies on the planet are not appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia. This is not a question of how much work is done putting the article together - it's a question of whether it meets our guidelines for inclusion. Are there any third party media outlets that have taken note of this company? --B (talk) 20:59, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

This particular image was deleted from Commons-it was not my image, but was a lot of work on the uploader's time, it just simply doesn't belong at Commons, it needs to be uploaded with a non-free license and fair use rationale.

Host-proof_hosting

The concept of "host-proof" hosting is fairly new but it will become increasingly important in this era of "cloud computing". The main reason I want this article restored is because I don't know of any better name for it. Although related concepts are an active topic of research in cryptography (homomorphic encryption, anonymous querying, plausibly deniable search), there is no other name for the idea of offering cryptographically proven secure and anonymous web based services. The text may need to be modified to include more references to actual cryptography research topics instead of "clipperz spam", as someone qualified during the deletion debate, but this area is an active topic of research (see for example, the dates on the references for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption) and will probably become more popular/notable as more web developers begin to understand and implement this type of applications. Just for your information I am not affiliated with, and I don't even use any product from Clipperz or Passpack, I am just a web developer interested in security and privacy. If the page is not restored I will try and put in the effort to rewrite the article from scratch.

Please replace page "Innovatology". This is a practical and an innovative social science that emerged in 2008 and is growing quickly. Wikipedia is an important resource for people to reference in finding out about and contributing to the social record on this science. The initial article is needed as starting point for the many people that practice this science to collaborate. The founding social principle and value on which Wikipedia is based depends on an open and transparent documentation process to survive and thrive. Deleting this page at a critical point in the science of innovatology's evolution is an action that undermines the very foundation of the Wikipedia social platform. Please reconsider and add this page back. Thank you.

Moreover, running Google search in French language brings up around 1,810,000 results for "OVH", and over 4,000,000 results in English.

I believe that the AQW page should not have been deleted since 5 major campaigns have been launched with 4 of the 5 complete, the game itself could have as much if not more information written on its page than AdventureQuest ever could while I understand that the game was deleted due to the fact it is fairly new that still is not enough considering there are over 50,000 active users of the game. Given the fact that the AI, PVP, Battle, Housing and Shops system in-game is superb for a fairly new game I believe that that is something that should be taken into account.

Please see Category:Temporary Wikipedian userpages. There are currently 17,042 mostly user talk pages scheduled for this unusual process. I'm loathe to undelete it for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that this individual is under 18. Looking into it, there is an ANI thread here and his former bot user page has not been deleted. Is there something specific you're looking for? He's indefblocked, as are all of his bots if that's your question. He answered a question on his Commons talk page a month ago, so if you need to get in touch with him (eg, to ask for source code for a bot), you may have luck finding him there. --B (talk) 04:00, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Specifically, John Bot II (and maybe its siblings I and III) was performing some image tagging and moves to Commons, and also tagged files with a somewhat malformed template, which I'd like to get rid of. I'm just wondering if there was any discussion as to the methods that bot was using, and whether it would be acceptable for another user/bot to resume that work, or if there were any concerns expressed about that bot's actions. Alternatively, if you can confirm there's nothing of interest to me (i.e. nothing about the bots) on that page, I don't really need it undeleted. Is there a specific privacy issue with this user? TheFeds 16:59, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
No, there is no specific privacy issue I'm aware of. The source code for John Bot II was at User:John Bot II/Code (looks unrelated to images, so I'm guessing it is out of date). User:John Bot II/Source looks related to images, so I'm guessing that this is the current code. Its request for approval is at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/John Bot II 2. John Bot's requests for approval are here and Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/John Bot 4. John Bot III's code is at User:John Bot III/Code and its request for approval is at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/John Bot III. You can use this link if there are any other pages in John Bot's userspace of interest ... several others seem to have things related to its mission. I'm looking back now through the talk page history to see if there is anything relevant to the workings of the bots. Nothing so far (back to Nov 2008). --B (talk) 18:38, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
I went back to early 2008 and the only things I found relevant to the workings of the bot were a link to the code (linked above) and stating the tasks he was doing with his various bots (see their user page histories). I didn't find anything of use beyond what you can still get publicly. Please let me know if that provides you with the information you need. If not, I did keep an eye out for privacy issues and I don't see anything that would preclude temporary undeletion long enough for you to examine the history for other information. --B (talk) 19:00, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

It has worked closely with author Eliot Coleman, well known to gardeners, especially in the northeast, to develop some of its products. The company and its founder are referred to in an article about the Cherokee purple tomato. Johnny's has bred several All-America Selection varieties. It is also an example of an employee-owned company. -Johnnyseeds (talk) 19:42, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


Notes: JzG deleted the article, citing it as "Unambiguous advertising or promotion"

In my view, this is false. The article was not written as advertising or promotion. I would like to have another editor take a look at the original article and provide feedback, or write an article about this company.

Thank you.

  • Does the company meet the requirements listed at WP:CORP? Can you provide some examples of reliable sources that talk about the company (not trivial mentions)? –xenotalk 20:52, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
