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.

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!

I would have blanked and revdel'd the ad and left the warning that was the first post. If there is meaningful content on a user talk page, I remove and revdel the spam.

Just an FYI, that account is a spambot, so the point of no advertising is unlikely to get across to them.

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 ?

You've been defending the wiki for 365 or 366 straight days (since April 22 of last year), whereas my streak is only 117 days😔. I'm hoping to beat you one day, but we'll have to wait and see. Oh, don't be offended by what that editor said on April 6; it's all part of the process, I suppose. Let's see if you can reach a 1,000 days! Bye.

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.

"Hello Deepfriedokra I know you're upset that blocked & banned user Moatassemakmal's abusive behavior towards UTRS system for the past 8 years and you are deserved for banning his UTRS access, but I assure you that Mo wasn't the sock what he became, he's just a lost and confused user who didn't listen and follow Wikipedia's policy guidelines he's just cranky because he didn't have good night sleep and I reconsider that can you lift the banning UTRS access for Mo he persisting for so long to be unblock to amend his mistakes with an open-mind please?

Smefs still coming to my talk page and posting "Unlike you, I don't have hours a day to go back and forth on Wikipedia -- I'm a grad student with a lot on my plate".

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.

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.--
Ponyobons 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.
