Good morning Stiffle. I created an article on here and it was nominated by creffet for speedy deletion, on grounds that it is not notable enough for deletion. The article is about the first and the largest medical students’ association in Nigeria, Africa and I think it is notable enough to have a page on Wikipedia, given the influence the association has in Nigeria. I would like to contest the deletion of the article and also request for the content of the deleted article. Thank you.

You closed the AFD on this person six days ago. I am not asking you to reconsider or review it, but to decide whether admin action is needed to enforce your decision. Both another copy of the article and a draft have been created. The article has been tagged for G4, and the tag is being removed by IPs. I have rejected the draft. I have templated the IPs with warnings. I have tagged the reposted copy of the article for salt. Some other admin may deal with this before you, but I thought you should know.
By the way, I think that the current mischief, mostly but not entirely by IPs, confirms your conclusion that the Keep editors were canvassed or were meatpuppets or were gaming the system. Robert McClenon ( talk) 06:16, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Dear Stiffle. I created the article /info/en/?search=Alexsander_Iakobachvili and it was nominated for deletion on the ground that the person is not notable enough for Wikipedia inclusion. I’ve collected some additional facts and information to be added to the profile to prove that I don’t agree with the deletion proposal, but yesterday you deleted the article. So I would like to add the information I possess to try to change your mind upon the article and bring it back to live on Wikipedia. Actually, my request falls under your stipulation topics: “the administrator omits to give weight to something to which he should have” taking into consideration that I was one day late – sorry for that. So, please give me the opportunity to add information to the article, and then we will see if it deserves a Wikipedia publication.

Hello, sorry I screwed up the procedure on the request to relist the six judges ( this one). Since our previous conversation more judges have been deleted under identical rationale and I'd like to add them to the request if that's appropriate: AFD for Robert Sundby and AFD for Thomas Hruz. And I will attempt to get in front of any more of these before they end up at this stage. Thank you! -- Asdasdasdff ( talk) 17:15, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
I'm surprised at your close here. "Notability is not inherited" is an often used phrase, but that doesn't actually imply deletion of an article; what the relevant part of the guideline does say (immediately afterwards) is "However, person A may be included in the related article on B.". Additionally, the final "keep" !vote in the AfD was a well-thought out argument and suggested "merge" as a compromise, which I would agree with. Can we relist this instead?

Hi Stifle. I've got some questions about your close of
Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2020 May 5#File:Air Senegal logo.png. The {{
Oldffdfull}} template you added to
File talk:Air Senegal logo.png states The result of the discussion was keep
, but it doesn't mention anything about whether the file is OK as currently licensed. Your close to the actual FFD thread seems to imply that the file should be converted to {{
non-free logo}}, but you didn't change the licensing of the file.
I'm asking about this because File:Air Senegal Logo.svg is basically the same file in svg format. The svg is licensed as non-free logo, but there's no need to have two "identical" files licensed as non-free logo per WP:NFCC#3a. The png is not currently being used in any articles; so, converting it to non-free would make it eligible for speedy deletion per WP:F5 if it remains unused; however, if the png is OK as licensed, then the svg would seemingly fail WP:FREER as non-free which means that it would need to be either deleted or converted to {{ PD-ineligible-USonly}}. Could you clarify what you meant by "Consensus of the discussion is that Threshold of Originality is not met"? Did you mean that the png file should be kept as licensed? How does your close affect the svg file, which is the one being used in the main infobox of Air Senegal? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 21:53, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
I am confused about the "no consensus" decision. If there is no consensus about the copyright of the riff, shouldn't the status be changed to either "non-free" or "ineligible in only the US"? Does it also mean that consensus hasn't agreed yet that it's in the public domain or something? George Ho ( talk) 07:22, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

The page has been wrongly deleted. Even when the page had enough of references and moreover the hindi newspapers mentioning him were not considered. Why ? A notable person means a someone doing a work which is notable and not someone who keeps on going to media and news for hype. Also it was wrongly mentioned in the discussion that the references have his name as passing name whereas most of the reference news had him as main person.

Hi Stifle, thanks for closing the AfD. I was wondering if you'd be willing to take a closer look at some of the Keep !votes in that discussion. The relevant guideline is WP:GEOLAND which requires "populated places without legal recognition" to meet GNG, but we have editors contradicting the guideline and arguing that being mentioned in obituaries, society pages or simply having any population at all is sufficient. Please note that the current sources in the article are GNIS (which doesn't contribute to notability) and a local history book which describes it as a whistle stop that once had a charcoal burning operation.

Both another copy of the article and a draft have been created. The article has been tagged for G4, and the tag is being removed by IPs. I have rejected the draft. I have templated the IPs with warnings. I have tagged the reposted copy of the article for salt. Some other admin may deal with this before you, but I thought you should know.
By the way, I think that the current mischief, mostly but not entirely by IPs, confirms your conclusion that the Keep editors were canvassed or were meatpuppets or were gaming the system. Robert McClenon ( talk) 06:16, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi, you recently closed this AfD as delete but the article remains. Regards. wjemather please leave a message... 15:49, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
Dear Stiffle. I created the article /info/en/?search=Alexsander_Iakobachvili and it was nominated for deletion on the ground that the person is not notable enough for Wikipedia inclusion. I’ve collected some additional facts and information to be added to the profile to prove that I don’t agree with the deletion proposal, but yesterday you deleted the article. So I would like to add the information I possess to try to change your mind upon the article and bring it back to live on Wikipedia. Actually, my request falls under your stipulation topics: “the administrator omits to give weight to something to which he should have” taking into consideration that I was one day late – sorry for that. So, please give me the opportunity to add information to the article, and then we will see if it deserves a Wikipedia publication.

Hello, sorry I screwed up the procedure on the request to relist the six judges ( this one). Since our previous conversation more judges have been deleted under identical rationale and I'd like to add them to the request if that's appropriate: AFD for Robert Sundby and AFD for Thomas Hruz. And I will attempt to get in front of any more of these before they end up at this stage. Thank you! -- Asdasdasdff ( talk) 17:15, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
I'm surprised at your close here. "Notability is not inherited" is an often used phrase, but that doesn't actually imply deletion of an article; what the relevant part of the guideline does say (immediately afterwards) is "However, person A may be included in the related article on B.". Additionally, the final "keep" !vote in the AfD was a well-thought out argument and suggested "merge" as a compromise, which I would agree with. Can we relist this instead?

Hi Stifle. I've got some questions about your close of
Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2020 May 5#File:Air Senegal logo.png. The {{
Oldffdfull}} template you added to
File talk:Air Senegal logo.png states The result of the discussion was keep
, but it doesn't mention anything about whether the file is OK as currently licensed. Your close to the actual FFD thread seems to imply that the file should be converted to {{
non-free logo}}, but you didn't change the licensing of the file.
I'm asking about this because File:Air Senegal Logo.svg is basically the same file in svg format. The svg is licensed as non-free logo, but there's no need to have two "identical" files licensed as non-free logo per WP:NFCC#3a. The png is not currently being used in any articles; so, converting it to non-free would make it eligible for speedy deletion per WP:F5 if it remains unused; however, if the png is OK as licensed, then the svg would seemingly fail WP:FREER as non-free which means that it would need to be either deleted or converted to {{ PD-ineligible-USonly}}. Could you clarify what you meant by "Consensus of the discussion is that Threshold of Originality is not met"? Did you mean that the png file should be kept as licensed? How does your close affect the svg file, which is the one being used in the main infobox of Air Senegal? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 21:53, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
I am confused about the "no consensus" decision. If there is no consensus about the copyright of the riff, shouldn't the status be changed to either "non-free" or "ineligible in only the US"? Does it also mean that consensus hasn't agreed yet that it's in the public domain or something? George Ho ( talk) 07:22, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

I'm working on a comparison table to cover these now. Will try to put something up in the morning.

The page has been wrongly deleted. Even when the page had enough of references and moreover the hindi newspapers mentioning him were not considered. Why ? A notable person means a someone doing a work which is notable and not someone who keeps on going to media and news for hype. Also it was wrongly mentioned in the discussion that the references have his name as passing name whereas most of the reference news had him as main person.

All i want you to don’t want you to do is to make amendments(reverted it back, as long as my response is not there then i am find for you using that page) to that 4th June 2021 deleted logs page. All i want is to eradicate that page of what i have written, i will settle it somewhere because i settle at the wrong place , you see. So there is no point it to be debatable and not make it ancient.

Hi Stifle, thanks for closing the AfD. I was wondering if you'd be willing to take a closer look at some of the Keep !votes in that discussion. The relevant guideline is WP:GEOLAND which requires "populated places without legal recognition" to meet GNG, but we have editors contradicting the guideline and arguing that being mentioned in obituaries, society pages or simply having any population at all is sufficient. Please note that the current sources in the article are GNIS (which doesn't contribute to notability) and a local history book which describes it as a whistle stop that once had a charcoal burning operation.
