Aaeon
The article in discussion, Aaeon, was deleted for G11, Unambiguous advertising or promotion. The article was written with a neutral point of view. The summary of the article contains no language that attempts to influence or persuade. It was purely informational, as is the content in the Product Line and Milestones section. Both section were written based on information gathered from their website but are not written in persuation, but purely facts. I am also in the process of incorporating additional information from various third-party sources. Please reconsider in the deletion of the Aaeon page. -Joyeung109 (talk) 20:59, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
- Not done. You think that "one-stop shopping services to minimize the customer's effort... top industrial-grade Cloud technology... non-gap design makes the PC easy to clean... strong and reliable performance... will go wherever the job takes you... " is not "language that attempts to influence or persuade?" Sorry, you are either too close to your subject or you have been too long in the PR business. That is pure advertisement - in fact, I am not surprised to find that it is copied straight from the company's promotional website at http://www.aaeonsystems.com/products/ruggedtab.php etc, so it would also qualify for speedy deletion as a copyright violation. Wikipedia is not a noticeboard to pin companies' marketing literature to, it is an encyclopedia. JohnCD (talk) 21:45, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
Touché. Can I get a break? First time writer on Wiki. Can I get another opportunity to rewrite and restructure this section? Joyeung109 (talk) 23:14, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, but don't underestimate Wikipedia's strong resistance to being used for anything that seems like promotion. Better make a draft in your user space. Advice on your talk page within a day. JohnCD (talk) 17:50, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Pea bean
Deleted after a PROD in February 2011 when I was 13000 miles from my computer. It is clear that the taxonomy was/is wrong and needs researching but the Pea bean is clearly in existence, it is sold by many seed merchants , I grow it for food but it was deleted because of its uncertain taxonomical affinity. I have no problem with a restoration and immediate conversion to a redirect to Green bean or alternatively it could be usefied to my namespace so that I can work on it. Without restoration, as a non admin,I cannot access the original text or history. I have already raised this with the deleting admin NuclearWarfare but s/he appears to be on a wikibreak. I will update my message there to reflect the posting here. Many thanks Velella Velella Talk 12:58, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
- Done - as a PROD deletion, this could be restored automatically, but in view of the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants/Archive54#Pea bean I have userfied it for you to User:Velella/Pea bean.

London Vale
Hello,
I am a professional model and actress who began working professionally at the age of four in numerous national advertising campaigns. You can find proof of Warner Brother's feature film and FOX series credits dating back to 1995 on IMDb. I took some time off to study my craft further, pursuing an education in acting and art at Columbia University in 2002, and the University of Notre Dame and London's Globe Theatre from 2004-2008, and have been working as such full-time since 2008. Please see the link to below to the cover of Notre Dame magazine, which contains an article regarding my recent projects. My modeling work has been published nationally in 2010 in US Weekly Magazine, also linked below, in which I was featured in a two-page advertisement spread for Verizon Wireless and the movie Inception wearing a couture gown by the Walter Collection. I have also been featured in an eight page editorial in Swoop magazine Fall 2011 and another two page article on a Los Angeles fashion show I walked in is featured in the Spring 2012 issue of the same magazine. I am represented by The Gage Group and Betwixt Talent in Los Angeles as an actress, and Elysium Agency as a model, all professional agencies based in Los Angeles. My full portfolio is available on my website at www.LondonVale.com, and my acting credits can be checked on the IMDb. You can view my full acting reel and resume at LACasting and Breakdown Express. My acting reel is also available on my website. Please let me know if you'd like to request to view full versions of the films in which I've acted. I would appreciate it if you could kindly restore my Wikipedia page, as the information posted on my page is correct and there is sufficient information to support that fact.
Best,
London Vale www.LondonVale.com

Devadasy
The article was deleted back in 2008 in an AFD with little discussion, due to an apparent lack of reliable sources. I've found a couple reviews ([1], [2]) from sources that are considered reliable, plus a little other coverage, so I think the subject could pass the notability guidelines.

Marco Cremona
This article should be restored as the artist is well known in Malta. See references http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swieqi and www.galleriacremona.com -92.251.92.32 (talk) 07:47, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
- Not done - As announced at the top of the page, this process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially and has no applicability to articles deleted after any deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marco Cremona, it cannot be undeleted through this process. Nevertheless, if you believe that the consensus found at the discussion was in error, or that significant new information has come to light since the deletion, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user Kevin (talk · contribs). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review. On your references, Wikipedia pages are not counted as reliable, and anyway the section that mentions the artist has no references. The galleria page is not an independent page. We need multiple independent and reliable sources. Perhaps you can find a Maltan newspaper article about him. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:02, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

File:Toposa in action.jpg
Deleted per Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2012 January 20#File:Toposa in action.jpg but with "with little or no participation other than the nominator" (as Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion mentions), and probably more or less uncontroversial to restore. Reason for undeletion: The file meets plausable educational use under Commons:COM:SCOPE, but I didn't catch that it had been deleted until a related file came up for deletion. Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2012 April 12#File:Toposa.jpg is the related file's discussion, which gives a more detailed reason for this file to be kept. That deletion nomination was withdrawn and that file is now File:Vaca toposa.jpg on Commons.

zenphoto
Hi, I'm new to this, apologies if I make a mistake.
I was looking up Zenphoto which is AFAIK one of the most popular CMS Gallery software. But apparently there is no article. There must have been one that got deleted by mistake - it was a one-click install on dreamhost until recently. Sure enough, It was deleted by 19 June 2011 User:Courcelles for the reason "Expired PROD, concern was:...notable..." I don't know what was in the article before it was deleted. But I do know this is significant FOSS. I'm surprised the article has been gone for so long. I don't know a lot about Zenphoto [that is why I came here] maybe it is less popular now for a reason? Maybe it got forked or the developers tried to put advertising on it? But that should be written up in the article, not deleted IMHO.
I did a google search for "most popular gallery software" and the first hit talks about the popularity of zenphoto. Also, wordpress has 6 plugins for zenphoto. I don't know what else I can argue to prove that it is notable? If you search wikipedia for zenphoto you get no article [because it was deleted] but you get several hits - because people use it to host photos that are linked by wikipedia! I don't know what metrics are used to determine notability but it seems that one of the top photo gallery software should be included. Piwigo is, and so is Gallery2. Those are the other two main ones I know of.
Thanks for your time. Apologies if I'm not putting this request in using the proper channels. Please tell me how better to do this request if I'm not doing it right. Thank you.

MBX Systems
not advertising -Mbxlizm (talk) 15:16, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
I recently updated our company page and attempted to upload a new company logo. I was alerted that our page was deleted. I was not aware of any errors nor did I intentionally add content that could be construed as advertising. If you undelete this page I will review to ensure unbiased content and remove anything not fitting the criteria. The intent was to add new information about the company and links to articles and new website (www.mbx.com). In doing research on Wikipedia to find out why my page was deleted I learned several guidelines to follow while editing a page. Our company page has been on Wikipedia for more than 5 years, and the updates were not intentionally made for promotional purposes. Thank you for your consideration.
- Not done - this article has not been restored because it does not appear to meet our guidelines for inclusion of articles concerning companies. In general, Wikipedia considers a topic to be notable if there exist multiple reliable sources of information on the topic, external to the subject itself.

Distribution America
there are two or more versions of this article which have been deleted. I am the author of the most recently deleted article, and have never seen the older version(s), so I don't know which version is the best to restore. Mainly, I am just asking the responsible administrators to engage with me on a talk page, rather than ignore me, or template and delete without responding to me. Distribution America is a notable co-op, and in my previous attempts at communication, I explain why. See the talk page of the most recently deleted version. Thank you. -Wbm1058 (talk) 16:20, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
- Maybe you can restore the older deleted version to my user space so that I can try to fix it so it's not blatant advert? Wbm1058 (talk) 16:24, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
- Done. Your article was a single sentence "Distribution America is a hardware store retailers' cooperative" plus a list of members and a list of competitors. You need to show why the subject is notable in the article. We get more than one new article a minute, very many of them about absolutely non-notable people, bands, companies etc; there is no time to write an individual explanation for each one, and the template you got gave links to WP:CSD#A7, the reason for deletion, and WP:Notability, the guideline that shows what's needed: references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."

I will notify user Mabdul (talk), who proposed it, in case he wishes to consider nominating it at WP:Articles for deletion. The article will certainly not survive in its present form, only one line and no references; you may be able to improve it with material from the other language WPs, though its presence there is not a compelling argument to keep it here, as each WP has its own standards. If the product is only still in development, it is quite likely that there will not yet be the independent comment about it necessary to establish notability. JohnCD (talk) 20:13, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Template:PD-CAGov applies now; this wasn't clear at the time they were deleted; legal precedent has changed. Thanks User:Skier Dude for undeleting those two! (The permission tags one sees at File:Seal_of_California.svg do too.) I'm not an admin. If an admin can look or if anyone can suggest a way to find some of the files worth undeleting that Template:PD-CAGov justifies - e.g. by doing a search through deleted files for PD-CAGov or the like, I'd appreciate it! I can't search through deleted files, but you can. Please don't mark this done or remove it, at least not for a while.

List of Radcliffe and Maconie's Chain Tracks
The page was deleted for the reason that it has no encyclopaedic use, which is garbage. The feature is listed on the radio stations website but there is no way of easily searching for what has previously been played which the wiki page was able to show easily by sorting. This page was a source of reference for hundreds of listeners who contribute to 'The Chain' on a daily basis, ensuring to check the page before recommending a new track to be played, of which there are 3 per day, 5 days per week. The feature is the most popular part of R&M's show on one of the most popular shows on BBC 6 music. 82.34.233.253 (talk) 15:11, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
- Not done. This article was deleted as a result of the deletion discussion at WP:Articles for deletion/List of Radcliffe and Maconie's Chain Tracks so, as stated at the top of this page, it will not be undeleted here. If you believe that the consensus found at the discussion was in error, or that significant new information has come to light since the deletion, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user Explicit (talk). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at WP:Deletion review. JohnCD (talk) 18:59, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
