The file 1956-57 Dalmatinac players.jpg was a photograph taken by my father George Posa on his camera in circa 1957. His copyright interest is remaining in the photo and he consents to use of it on this website. He is happy to send an email to Wiki if it is required. Please reverse Fastily's (20 July 2108 UTC) and innotata's (12 July 2018 UTC) deletion of this historical photograph. Thanks. |

Most ediors preferred keeping the article rather the merge. I think the close should be reversed and the article kept in accordance with consensus. After the merge mass content was deleted. If it is too long for the main article then it can be split. QuackGuru (talk) 11:41, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

Allow recreation, this article had survived the first AfD but then was renominated and lost in the 2nd AfD due to "failing WP:GNG, passing mentions only". I have found secondary reliable sources which gives the subject significant coverage and demonstrates that this article and subject passes our GNG and therefore should allow a recreation.

At time of closing, the tally to Keep:Delete was formally 3:2—adding the closing editor's vote against (inferred, though not formally registered) makes it 3:3. This is not a compelling deletion vote, and certainly does not justify closing the discussion in less than a week, and in the week before a major US and European holiday (!). Finally, the reason given—that there was no response to the point-by-point critique of article sources appearing in a Comment—is fallacious, in that a response to that critique was provided, on 17 December (in paragraph rather than bullet form). If a point-by-point rebuttal was desired, it should have been requested, rather than proceeding with deletion at the 5-6 day mark, days before a major holiday. 2601:246:C700:9B0:C0C7:A11E:21B1:A25C (talk) 05:44, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

WP:BadNac, Controversial closes are best left to administrators. The closer is not. Issues such as TOS and Polemic were cited as reasons to delete this page, (Edit conflict) Issues such as TOS and Polemic were cited as reasons to delete this page, further, this MFD received a lot of discussion and was for both reasons a controversial close, for that reason alone an admin should have closed it. Additionally, I believe the closer ignored WP:POLEMIC and WP:TOS as valid reasons to delete this page and essentially, disregarded both reasons, both of which are valid. I request this close be overturned. Necromonger...We keep what we kill 13:52, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Rosario is a self-published practically unknown author, outside of some fringe far-right neo-Nazi circles. His works have a few dozens followers worldwide but aside from an intersting case on Nazi esotericism authors and anti-Semitic/white supremacists/conspiracy theory writers, he's practically unknown and has little to non influence both in literature and in esotericism in Latin America or elsewhere. And even as a subject study for the former is normally ignored and overlooked. Dereck Camacho (talk) 07:28, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

I am involved with the mushing community heavily. My partner has been breeding and racing Eurohounds for almost 25 years. They are a specific cross-breed produced for a very niche reason, Sprint Sled Dog Racing. They were initially cross-bred in Scandanavia in the 80's specifically for this purpose. I know they exist because they continue to dominate the Sprint Sled Dog World to this day. No, they are not an AKC breed because they are not American. They are bred around the world and created initially in Scandinavia. I looked at the discussion page, and not a single person involved in that discussion appears to have any contact with the mushing community. If you had asked the community, you would have quickly learned that they are a prevalent breed in the sport. As a member of the Eurohound community, I would like the page returned to its former status. It is visited often by members of the community, and was noticed the day it was deleted by just that community. I, fortunately, understand enough about Wikipedia to know how to contact you about this issue and what to do to get the page restored. Please contact me directly, and I will be happy to provide any information that you require. If you don't have actual evidence that the breed does not exist, then I would appreciate it if you would restore the page on that fact alone. Here is a paper that formally mentions the introduction into the racing community.

This was deleted A7 after another admin objected and had been here since 2006. While I'm not sure if it's truly notable and was actually researching it myself for an AFD, I do think that it rises well above the low, low bar of A7. Praxidicae (talk) 15:49, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty miffed about this. I am the primary (only) maintainer of this portal. I have put a lot of effort over the years into making this a low-maintenance, sustainable portal that can be incrementally updated. This is precisely *why* there are so many subpages, since I've put a lot of care into ensuring that there will always be relevant and randomized, fresh content based on the current date, and there will never be broken links. I've made hundreds of edits this year alone, not just in the "on this day" section but also in the "did you know" section and adding a new featured picture. This is all the result of hundreds or maybe even thousands of hours of effort over more than a decade, searching for relevant weather events from a given date, and adding them to the "on this day" section so that they appear around the appropriate anniversary. Many of the "delete" comments seem to have lazily just looked at the history of the main portal page, seen very few edits, and thrown up their hands and said "Well, no one's working on it, get rid of it!". If they had actually done some digging and seen the history of transcluded pages, they would have seen that yes, this portal has been heavily maintained over the years. Why is this even a proper rationale for deletion anyway?? Even if it were true, no one is even addressing the merits of the content as it exists (or rather, existed I guess). If the Portal really needed to go so badly, why did no one think to remove it from the literal thousands of pages that still link to it? Most annoying of all, I was not notified about this deletion discussion. When I went in to make some updates today (as I often do), I saw that the entirety of my work had been deleted, without even being able to offer a defense. The closing admin's reasoning is completely incorrect: "There is no argument that this portal is unmaintained and serving inaccurate information to readers." Well, let me give this argument then: I have made hundreds of edits to this portal's subpages in this year alone. If anything, I've updated this Portal more in the past year than in any year since it was first overhauled over a decade ago. The nominator pointed to a single example of inaccurate information that would have been easily corrected, and used that as representative of the entire breadth of pages under the Portal. Why were the first comments pointing to WP:FIXIT ignored?? Do people want more selected articles? I can do that! Do people want a place to report inaccurate information? I can do that! Do people want instructions on how to add their own weather event to the list of 1000+ "On this day" links? I can do that! No one ever asked, so I never thought these were priorities that could lead to the entire portal being deleted out from under me. Please restore all 2100+ pages that I have worked hard on for more than a decade, and maybe next time use a little more discretion and transparency when deleting a huge body of work like this.

The decision to delete this page is the result of an extremely narrow interpretation of WP:NCORP and WP:ORGIND. As editors, our mandate is not to re-interpret editorial decisions made by legitimate media outlets. Doing so puts the entire premise of WP as an encyclopedia at stake. The analysis presented by HighKing essentially challenges the editorial decisions of an independent newsroom to publish a story about this subject. HighKing is basing their analysis on the fact that the stories about this subject contain minimal sources outside of the subject. While it might be reasonable to challenge the newsroom on their reporting, it is not our role. It is not unusual to read articles with limited sources. The subject of this page has been profiled in a number of different, legitimate, independent, media outlets. We cannot take the rigid stance that if a piece of news is not reported to a degree that we would prefer, that it is therefore illegitimate for inclusion as a proper citation. Web pages, press releases, and other obvious self-promotional channels are clearly not legitimate sources for citations. However, it is not our role to be challenging the editorial decisions of major, independent media outlets in this way. While one could understand the need for additional citations for this subject, I firmly disagree with the decision to delete based on the analysis of one individual and urge further review of how WP:NCORP and WP:ORGIND policies are being interpreted in this instance. In the meantime, the decision to delete should be reversed. Coffee312 (talk) 16:48, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

The article was redirected. My concern here is that the policy of WP:NOCONSENSUS was not followed. The closer admits that they made a controversial close based on their reading of WP:N which is a guideline. I am asking that the close be overturned to reflect policy.

This page was speedily deleted as an attack page. While I cannot prove it without restoring the article, the page was neutral, did not make any unsourced allegations, and had several (I think seven?) sources from reputable, reliable sources (including Parade, Fox News, etc.). There were also claims made (according to the notices I got on my talk page) against the notability of the topic of the article, and there might be a debate on that, but I believe I gave enough to establish notability. Regardless, that would be a debate, not a speedy criteria. Again, for this to have speedily deleted seems absurd to me. Red Slash 01:19, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

This close should either be overturned to no consensus, reclosed by an admin, or reopened to allow Barkeep's !vote to be posted and further discussion to take place (or some combination of the three). – Teratix ₵ 13:29, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

The closer wrote that the Keep comments "only assert but do not identify sources, and therefore must be given less weight." That is simply untrue: I gave three sources, with links to them, and the proposed deletion was even delisted to generate further discussion of my sources. It is impossible to escape the conclusion that the closer didn't read the debate. He certainly hadn't addressed the sources or given due weight to them, and so the proper procedure has not been followed. Richard75 (talk) 09:09, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

This was speedy deleted A7 some time ago. The deleting admin User:Just Chilling has not edited since July so I have not tried to resolve with them. I recently noticed that this artist has an entry (albeit short) in Mitchell, The Dictionary of British Equestrian Artists. That would have been enough to overcome an A7 if it had been known at the time. I don't intend to do much with this page (other than add the source) but an alternative to a standalone article would be to repurpose as a page on the Clark family of artists, of which there were a large number all doing animal portraits. Many of them have entries in the source I cited above. SpinningSpark 17:13, 13 December 2019 (UTC) @Wigwagcreative: (original page creator) SpinningSpark 17:19, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

From the closing admin's talk page:
I have rewritten the draft. At the AfD, I presented some offline sources that I noted I did not have access to. I requested the sources from Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request and have used them in the draft rewrite. Allen Matkins represented Blackstone Real Estate in Blackstone's $43 billion purchase of Equity Office Properties Trust (now called EQ Office). It has the largest group of real estate attorneys in California, which aside from the federal government of the United States was then the biggest owner of office area. The closing admin wrote that approval from WP:AFC "is a condition of my draftifying the page". I am not listing the article at AfC since it is generally used by new editors and editors with a conflict of interest. I am instead listing at DRV to ask the community for permission to restore the article.

According to this 1997 article in The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Daily Journal is "a century-old staple for lawyers and judges", and Charlie Munger of Berkshire Hathaway acquired The Los Angeles Daily Journal in 1977 in an investment fund he controlled with Rick J.P. Guerin. Munger is the chairman of The Los Angeles Daily Journal's parent company Daily Journal Corporation.

Asking for a relist (I am also okay with delete if that is what the majority decides), considering it was relisted only once, and I don't think the AfD was in a state that consensus was never going to develop. Especially with a very weak keep argument and two delete votes (including the nom) citing WP:GNG. So I don't think the close was justified as the nominator's argument was never refuted properly and even got some support. The AfD closer declined my request at User_talk:Ritchie333#Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Mitto_Password_Manager, hence I am here since I have noticed this AfD and wanted to give my own comment on that.

Good faith close at XfD was delete (no additional comments). Under scrutiny on talk page closer had seemingly ignored the notable claim for the article per WP:NACADMEIC of a national level honour National professor of psychiatry and neurosciences; the national level here being key; with no delete !voters disputing that claim, these !voters ignoring the claim but focusing on other matters. While I personally move this claim was sufficient to keep I would anticipate and expect that with no prior relists the appropriate practice would have been at a minimum to relist and pointing out the unanswered point.

I believe that this page was incorrectly deleted as a copyright violation. It was tagged in error by a user who claimed that it was an unambiguous copy of the entire content of "The Atlantic" online newspaper. However, if you review the contents you can see that the only section that was copied from The Atlantic was a paragraph blockquote from a Supreme Court opinion written by Justice Stephen Breyer, which was properly attributed to the original source United States Reports which contained the dissent. All other content was original prose by me and was not copied or closely paraphrased to the original source. I would like to request a review of the deletion. If I inadvertently copied anything without proper attribution or if the admins or other editors would like to see any other changes I am completely supportive of making any changes but I do not think that it is necessary to delete the entire article. I attempted to reach out to the closing administrator several times but my comments were removed without response or acknowledgment and I received hostile messages on my talk page from others.

The Articles for Deletion discussion was closed as no consensus (and thus kept) with a untrue and inaccurate closing statement on the basis of a so-called 50:50 split headcount (it was actually 8 delete with 1 merge vs 4 keep votes). Beside that, I feel no proper weight was given to the arguments with consideration of reviewing the sources used. Discussion with the closing admin is HERE (started by another user) for further info, which is not much responded to. I suggest an overturn. Cold Season (talk) 20:28, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

This is the reverse situation from the recently closed Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2019_November_20 Ernesto Alcati DRV, where consensus was clear a historical article with potential non-English which passed a sports SNG should be kept even though WP:GNG had not been definitively established. As I noted in that DRV, whether WP:GNG was met was not disproved by any of the delete !voters. Here, consensus to keep this article about a Polish footballer from the 1950s was even stronger, as Mr. Walkiewicz did make several appearances in modern sources, and whether WP:GNG was met was not disproved by any of the delete !voters. The closer applied their own interpretation of policy, which was that none of the keep !voters demonstrated WP:GNG was met, see here for the response. This misinterpreted my !vote. As I noted in my vote, we delete articles which meet the footy/sports SNG when it is clear the presumption that WP:GNG-qualifying coverage exists has been overcome. This is very easy to do with current players, but as I noted in my !vote, we cannot tell if he passes WP:GNG without looking at contemporaneous sources. This is nearly impossible for me to do given the era and the language, but the !votes which mentioned this difficulty were discounted by the closer for not demonstrating any sources where the presumption was challenged. None of the delete !voters performed a search either, and the nominator did not mention WP:GNG. Furthermore, the article itself was perfectly fine, with a number of distinct albeit short mentions in modern sources. For examples of a situation where historical articles have failed the WP:GNG presumption, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George Adams (1920s footballer) SportingFlyer T·C 11:12, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

This is not asking for undeletion—I'm just here to ask that the revision history be restored. I messed up, and got the page deleted then made it again as a redirect, rather than changing it to a redirect, so the old content is hidden now. Thanks (sorry if this is the wrong place)!
