Deletion of article for Ndukwe Uche

Hello. I created an article for author and engineer Ndukwe Uche. I was curious as to why it was rejected and subsequently deleted. His 3 books all have ISBN numbers so I'm wondering what I should do to get this article approved and reverse the deletion. Thanks. Bernieuche (talk) 02:52, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bernieuche:please read the messages on your talk page. Please follow the links in the deletion notice. The content was inadequately sourced and promotional in tone. Thanks -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 05:57, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted page

/* Deleted page */ I had my page that was created earlier today, deleted. I was wondering how I could get it back or at least get the information from the draft back. Im having a tricky time navigating where to get help in this issue as the links dont seem to take me to the right places. I was lead to this page to ask for help. Any ideas would be great!

Hi, you deleted my draft...how can I at least save my work for myself ???

Hi, you deleted my draft article on "Yamaha Recording Custom" (why I find a big article on Fender Stratocaster Guitars published while mine is rejected is still unclear, but ok !)

However I put a hughe effort in my draft and the draft is now gone ! I was not given the opportunity to save my work for my self. Can you pls advice if there is a way to save my work for myself ?

Regards, Marcus Opa munster (talk) 07:32, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Opa munster: Looks like I declined the draft after is was tagged for WP:G11. (Courtesy ping @Bbb23:). As I noted in the decline, it lacked sufficient coverage to meet imclusion requirements for an encyclopedia article. Please reread that and any other declines you have received for more information. The deleting admin was @Seraphimblade:. Nevertheless, I will email you the latest version before the decline and w/o the CSD tag. Best. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:46, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Admin eyes

I just had a very weird encounter I wanted to bring to your attention. You might recall the interactions during this sockpuppet investigation that included me being hounded by a particular IP, to the degree that you put in a partial block for them from my talkpage. A new account with whom I've never before interacted, and who has only been around for a week, referenced all of that in some detail here while making a personal attack. I'm not sure what to ask for, exactly, other than for an admin familiar with the previous situation to be aware. It's a very peculiar and specific thing for a week-old account to know about. Grandpallama (talk) 01:45, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Checkuser needed vs duck. Harasser sounds like needing sock block. (I'm asleep.) -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 06:58, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know about a link to that particular SPI, will need to do a bit more digging to establish that, but they are undoubtedly evading a block on this account, so yeah - indeffed. Girth Summit _(blether) 07:22, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Girth Summit: Thou art kind. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 07:24, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you both. It was just disconcerting (and suspicious) to see a reference about my edit history like that from a new account. Grandpallama (talk) 15:13, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Grandpallama: Congratulations. You've done your job so well, you pissed off a blocked user who socked to express their ire. Keep up the good work. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:30, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a barnstar for being sock chum? :) Grandpallama (talk) 16:52, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sock chum is award enough for me. I haven't been trolled on Wiki in a while. (sigh). There is a deranged individual on UTRS who will probably see this and respond there. 😜 -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:58, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck. I suspect responding to UTRS is probably just as thankless as CU work at SPI. I don't think those admins who spend their time with these sorts of less transparent tasks get enough credit for volunteering their personal time in such endeavors, but thank you for what you do.

BLP draft

Not replying to BBb23's talk as he'll probably just silently revert me in his usual passive-aggressive way, but he'll see this here. But, @Deepfriedokra:, I ask: If that's how you read it, how come you threatened Fram with an EW block instead of thanking him for upholding one of our most fundamental policies? And thank the lord for SFR, a voice of reason. ——Serial Number 54129 15:16, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Serial Number 54129: Because he edit warrred instead of taking it to WP:AFD. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:17, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because it shouldn't be at AfD. It should be deleted immediately. Right now it's literally libellous, but hey, let's talk about it for 168 hours. Anyway, looks like SFR is right thinking on this. cheers! ——Serial Number 54129 15:19, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined CSD's go to AfD. It's gone now, though. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:21, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it would have lasted 168 hours. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:23, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know I'm a bit of a hard-liner on this, but Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—must be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion. doesn't mean "not 168 hours." That article called someone a murderer, stalker, rapist, and more multiple times in wiki-voice without the support of the sources cited. A local news source saying "a local woman accused him of stalking her" doesn't meet the threshold for saying he was a stalker in wikivoice. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:26, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And if I had been less chicken, I'd have deleted it myself or taken it to AfD to be totally wonkish. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:23, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not that anyone has asked me, but this does serve as a reminder that WP:IAR exists and is a valid deletion rationale in cases where there is potential real-world harm and the article or draft doesn't quite fit a specific CSD rationale. There's a reason why "other reason" with the ability to write in a rationale appears in the CSD drop down menu for admins.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:27, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Which AfD reason would that be then? It's a notable case, and AfD is not for cleanup. So that would be "complete deletion because it is a blatant BLP violation claiming that someone is a murderer when they aren't convicted yet". Gee, if only we had a speedy deletion criterion for that. No, Deepfriedokra (and BBB and anyone else declining such a speedy), next time you believe such a speedy should be declined and simply reinstate the old version, you should be dragged to ANI or blocked, as you are then reinstating blatant BLP violations instead of addressing them in any way at all. Admins who don't realise this but instead want to block the editor trying to get rid of the BLP violations shouldn't be admins. Fram (talk) 15:39, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fram: For goodness sake. "Attack page. Serous BLP violations. Declined WP:G10. I believe the declining admin was in error. Bringing it here for the community to decide." AFD's where declined CSD's go. For what it's worth, I did not decline the CSD. I did not reinstate anything. . I started a discussion about it. Thanks. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:05, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You did nothing at all about the BLP violations, but instead warned me that I was close to a block for edit warring, instead of warning others that they could be blocked for reinstating such rather extreme BLP violations. Cringe indeed. Fram (talk) 18:20, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotecting Rónán Mullen

Hey, it looks from the logs that you were the admin that protected Rónán Mullen's article 6 years ago when it was requested. I'm asking how you'd feel about unprotecting it, per WP:UNPROTPOL. 6 years have passed since protection and nearly 4 since the last rejected pending change. The circumstances that led to the protection (Rónán's prominence during the 36th Amendment debate) have long since abated and I feel strongly that pages should be unprotected if not absolutely required.

I had the window open for ages on this, and when I hit the button to nominate Marketing Agencies Association for AFD I saw you'd tagged it for CSD in the meantime.

Require clarity on why Draft : The Power Of One NGO Pune was deleted ?

I need clarification on why the Wiki page for the NGO was deleted. I created the page to raise awareness about the organization that has helped people I know. It's not an advertisement, just a way for more people to learn about it. 103.157.122.194 (talk) 07:18, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To "raise awareness about the organization," is a euphemism for "promotional editing." Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a place to promote awareness of anything. Thanks. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 10:35, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Review of Deleted Wikipedia Page

Dear Deepfriedokra

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to request the reinstatement of the SERUKA Online Travel Agency (SOTA) page. SERUKA was established in 2022 by a group of university students led by Olivier BYIRINGIRO. The team, which includes professionals from various fields such as hospitality, business, and computing, aims to revolutionize travel planning through innovative solutions. Since its inception, SERUKA has grown to become a trusted partner for travelers worldwide. The page was deleted, but I believe it meets Wikipedia’s notability standards. I am committed to improving the page and addressing any concerns to ensure it complies with Wikipedia's guidelines. Your guidance on any specific issues or additional sources needed would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering my request.

Best regards,

Olivier BYIRINGIRO

@Boli Fils Deeofriedokra is absolutely correct. We need several independent and reliably published sources (see WP:RS) describing it before this can possibly be published.

Regarding the deleted page: Request for your Guidance

Hello Deepfriedokra,

My name is Sima Chatterjee and I'm seeking guidance on creating a page dedicated to Mr. Sridhar Das. A visionary artist, Mr. Das redefined illumination, elevating it from decorative art to a profound storytelling medium. His groundbreaking work with light and shadow has had a profound impact on the art world. Despite inspiring millions in India and globally, Mr. Das remains relatively unknown due to his solitary lifestyle. I aim to create a page to celebrate his extraordinary contributions and legacy. With Mr. Das's permission, I would like to write about his life and work. Please advise on how to effectively develop this page. Thank you in advance for your time and support. Sincerely, Sima Chatterjee Simachatterjee112 (talk) 17:25, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Simachatterjee112: Thank you for helping build our encyclopedia. Please read and heed the deletion notice on your talk page. It is chock full of guidance and advise. Given the outpouring of adulation about this subject you have poured out here, however, I'm afraid you will not be able to treat this subject in an encyclopedic manner.

New editor

The Yasuke article brought a flood of new editors to enwiki (and dramaboard drama, too), and I know we're in a new era where quick fluency with using a wiki is no longer a clear sock sign like it once was. But I've been dealing with some sock attention lately, as you know, and after this ANI comment came directed at me out of the blue, from an almost brand-new editor, I thought I'd ask if you see any red flags. There's a precocious mastery of policy (e.g., quoting deep cuts WP:NOTADVOCACY and MOS:INFOBOXREF within their first 50-odd edit summaries, a ton of policy/MOS bluelinks here) that usually signals an account isn't entirely new. Among the first couple of edits are ones that are written like an old hand, who understands the relationships between different pages.[3][4] I'm not sure who it is (or if I'm wrong and it just happens to be someone who acclimated quickly), but I thought you might see a telltale sign or two. Thanks. Grandpallama (talk) 02:48, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Grandpallama: Let's ask @Bbb23: as he's better at that than I. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 06:58, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd never even heard of Yasuke until yesterday when I blocked Nocomputersintexas based on a report at ANI (and my own review of the user's edits). And the amount I know about Japanese samurai generally - wasn't there a Brad Pitt movie about that? And what about the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's and Mickey Rooney? I have been to Tokyo once, but I don't recall meeting any samurai at the hotel. One of the best cups of hot chocolate I've ever had, though.

I agree that Ivan's edits are precocious. I also find it interesting that they have no warnings on their Talk page and yet two ANI notices. But after a quick review of their edits, I got zilch.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:34, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look. I'll assume good faith that it's someone who's just an unusually quick study. Grandpallama (talk) 14:48, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

UTRS access

I don't know enough about how UTRS works to be sure whether there would be any point in removing UTRS access from 2600:1003:B000:0:0:0:0:0, but maybe you can consider it, if you haven't already. JBW (talk) 14:56, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JBW: probably impostor. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:45, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm sure it is an imposter, but I wondered whether there was any point in blocking access to UTRS anyway. My impression is that the answer is "no", because it's possible to post a UTRS appeal for an IP address other than the one that you are actually using, so it wouldn't actually stop them, but I don't actually know for certain whether that is so; that's why I consulted you. On fact, it isn't really a big deal, because the moment I see the first three words I just press the "decline" button without any more thought, so, contrary to what the troll probably thinks, it isn't actually a nuisance to any significant extent.
