How reliable though and how many are actually about the place rather than passing mentions. I think it may be possible but you may be better getting it moved to userspace to allow you to work on it to see if possible and move if ready.

I can't but thats the best approach gives you time to work on it without risk of deletion. Im sure a passing admin will do it for you but i have left a note on Fastilys page asking if he will kindly do it.

Please notice that the File:MindLifeInstituteLogo.jpg (and related reduced-size images) risk deletion on 12 January. I indicated on the talk page of that file why it should not be deleted: "This logo was used by the page on the Mind and Life Institute. That page was deleted. However there is no doubt it will be created again with renewed content (but the logo image will be used again). The page on this institute is part of the WikiProject Organizations, and it was listed as a popular page on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Organizations/Popular_pages, which supports the claim that the page will be recreated. As a consequence, the logo should not be deleted.". Who could take action on this, in case restauration happens to be done only after 12 January?

Done. It doesn't meet G11: It's clearly not "exclusively promotional". Also
WP:COI does not mean that the editor can't work on it, as erroneously assumed
here. Finally, Rédacteur Tibet is an editor in good standing who obviously has done good edits outside of this article. The article does need independent references, though. —

I have now added bibliography section with an article and 3 books that contain independent references that I'll exploit to improve the article. Other contributors are wellcome to participate. --

Closing admin – If there are reliable sources that provide sufficient coverage, and there is a rough consensus that agrees with that, then I have no problem with restoring it. However, it is not up to the closing administrator to find sources in which those in or outside the deletion discussion have failed to do (otherwise, said admin would need to instead !vote in the discussion than close it). --

Endorse deletion. I looked at the first of the links that George Ho provided, and it's about the company donating 1000 packages to the Wuhan traffic police - a nice idea for a PR action, but certainly not noteworthy in itself beyond the limits of Wuhan. The article reads as if it's just taken verbatim from a typical press release, and indeed, the newspaper itself is of doubtful notability. We have no article for it; not even in the Chinese Wikipedia. While its English name may suggest it being comparable to the Times or the NYT, its Chinese name "长江商报" translates actually to "Changjiang commerce newspaper". For all I know, this might just be a one of those free advertising financed newspapers. After realizing that the deleted article didn't even have a link to any Chinese sister article, I regret having wasted my time with this thus far. —

Do you mean, "Endorse deletion"? Anyway, let's search for this topic in other Chinese sources. There may be others that significantly cover it. --

Strictly, SebastianHelm is in accordance with convention when he says "keep deleted". In cases where the nomination statement doesn't ask us to review the previous deletion decision or the debate, DRV has an alternative function of supervising whether it's appropriate to recreate a previously-deleted article, so one would expect !votes in the format "keep deleted" or "allow recreation".—

Sorry about the misunderstanding. I know what you mean, George; "Keep deleted" sounds too much like "Keep". And thank you, S Marshall, for the clarification. So, to avoid any misunderstanding, I changed it above. Please feel free to delete this discussion that now has become moot. —

About two weeks ago, the page for the
East Turkistan Government in Exile (ETGIE) was proposed for deletion under the premise that this government organization had to establish its notability. As a result of the discussion for deletion, it was concluded that the page be redirected to
Anwar Yusuf Turani, who is the founder and Prime Minister of the government. At the time of the proposed deletion, the page was undoubtedly in a novice state with around 10 to 12 sources. However, I have worked on improving this article on my user page, at
User:Tewpiq/East Turkistan Government in Exile. I have added multiple sources and additional sections in attempt to establish that ETGIE is in fact a legitimate government organization in exile with the purpose of gaining the independence of
East Turkistan from the
People’s Republic of China. Among the sources, there are also several second sources in English, Turkish, and Uyghur that analyze the establishment of the government and the Chinese rejection towards its formation in the United States. Therefore, due to the fact that it is actually a legitimate government in exile based in Washington D.C. and is backed with numerous credible sources, I believe that the East Turkistan Government in Exile should have its own page and not be redirected.

As the admin who closed the AfD, I have no opinion about the notability of the new version of the article, but I have concerns that the new version that is now being proposed is an exercise in advocacy rather than a neutral description of this movement. For instance, it contains
this unsourced map which is apparently meant to represent the real boundaries of real countries. Given that there seems to be no editor at the moment who is interested in or capable of developing this article in
WP:NPOV form, it might be better to keep it redirected to the leader of this movement. Sandstein 19:23, 6 January 2012 (UTC)reply
I realized the issue of the map. Since this page is about a government organization, I decided to delete the map and link the words
East Turkistan to the Wiki page, where several sourced maps can be found. And yes, it would be great if there were other editors knowledgeable in the matter of ETGIE to "neutralize" the article, however the majority of people who are informed of or associated with ETGIE are predominantly Turks and Uyghurs who do not speak the English language. ETGIE directs almost all of its activity towards the Turkic community.

Restore the draft article clearly shows notability, so the result of the AfD has been superseded. Producing this sort of result is an ideal conclusion to AfD, and I think the new version could have been restored by any admin without needing to come here. DGG (
