			Hi, I've seen that you decided to delete the "]" artwork yesterday. I wasn't present in the discussion since I was on vacations and didn't look at my talk page frequently. I saw that a sockpuppet answered with reasons I share about why the file should've been kept. However, I don't know the user and I think its unfair that because of them, my upload had to be deleted. I understand that the user has done things not permitted here but I should've been taken into account also since I'm the one that uploaded the artwork. I've already began a discussion with @] but nobody else participated. Now that the issue was taken to Files for discussion, I could've been tagged to share my input (I would've look at the alert and share my opinion too). I have nothing against none of you (I understand you're doing your work) but I disagree with the abrupt ending of the discussion and prefer to start the discussion again. I'm new with these type of discussions so if you can give me some guidance about what I can do now, I would gladly accept it. ] (]) 04:42, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

	Hi Explict. The use of ] in ] seems the same thing as what was discussed at ]. The file is technically different, but pretty much that's the only difference. Do you think it's possible for this latest version to be converted to some kind of PD? The file has been tagged as missing a non-free use rationale since October 2016. ] shows that the fact that the file is missing a rationale is known to the editor who uploaded the file, and I have also posted about this at ], but still no non-free use rationale has been added. There has already been discussion about Indian team logos at ] involving this editor, so these type of non-free use issues are not something they can claim to be unaware. I was going to remove the file for not having a nfur, but there's a good chance that would probably lead to edit warring based upon previous experiences with these types of logos. Any suggestions on how to proceed here? -- ] (]) 23:39, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

After the IP readded the file, I added {{tl\|di-missing some article links}} to the file's page with ], but did not remove the file. When Arsenal700 updated the file arelier this month, they also removed that template with ] without adding the required rationale, I reverted on the file's page but did not remove the file from the article.

			I would like to appeal the decision to delete the article ], because the article has been on WP for 12 years, with dozens of editors contributing to it, yet it was removed in the midst of a controversial election in the US with only one week of discussion.

	Hi Explicit. Since you were the admin who closed ] as keep for only ], I am wondering if you wouldn't mind taking a look at ]. The editor has been re-adding the file to ], despite being advised about it ].

Anyway, perhaps another editor will be able to explain this better than me.

	::Thanks for being frank about the edit warring warning. In hindsight, I agree that it was premature. I usually add {{tl\|uw-non-free}} the first time around and then try to add a bit more of an explanation. This time I skipped the template and just added the explanation. It would've been better off just to add another reminder the second time as well, but I assumed a bit of bad faith on the other editor's part because they re-added the file and then removed the first post I had added. Anyway, prematurely assuming something bad was likely to happen without actually waiting for it to happen was an error that hopefully I won't repeat anytime to soon. Thanks again for taking a look.

			Hi there!

I understand the sources in the old article weren't sufficient or notable enough, so I would like to fully revise the article and put it up again for review.

Deletion of "Unlock It" artwork

Hi, I've seen that you decided to delete the "Unlock It" artwork yesterday. I wasn't present in the discussion since I was on vacations and didn't look at my talk page frequently. I saw that a sockpuppet answered with reasons I share about why the file should've been kept. However, I don't know the user and I think its unfair that because of them, my upload had to be deleted. I understand that the user has done things not permitted here but I should've been taken into account also since I'm the one that uploaded the artwork. I've already began a discussion with @Launchballer but nobody else participated. Now that the issue was taken to Files for discussion, I could've been tagged to share my input (I would've look at the alert and share my opinion too). I have nothing against none of you (I understand you're doing your work) but I disagree with the abrupt ending of the discussion and prefer to start the discussion again. I'm new with these type of discussions so if you can give me some guidance about what I can do now, I would gladly accept it. GiankM. M (talk) 04:42, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

@GiankM. M: Hi, this file was actually deleted by Pppery. Perhaps he is willing to reconsider his closure given this comment. ✗plicit 11:16, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

I don't believe that to be the song's official cover art (it was using the Pop 2 cover almost immediately after). Nor the one at Out of My Head (Charli XCX song) actually. See the Unlock It file's talk page.--Laun chba ller 13:44, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Oh, ok. Thank you for clarifying it. GiankM. M (talk) 14:12, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

I deleted that because (ignoring a comment by a sock) the nomination argument was uncontested for a month. Deletion discussions have no minimum participation. If you still want the discussion reopened and relisted I would be willing to oblige, but it looks like that is no longer needed. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 16:33, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

@Pppery Oh, I got it. Thank you for explaining. But can I upload the file again or we need to do the discussion first? GiankM. M (talk) 01:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

I have undeleted the file and reopened the discussion. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 02:33, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Appeal of deletion of "List of controversial elections"

I would like to appeal the decision to delete the article List of controversial elections, because the article has been on WP for 12 years, with dozens of editors contributing to it, yet it was removed in the midst of a controversial election in the US with only one week of discussion. Also, no opportunity was given to allow content from the article to be moved to other articles prior to deletion. Sparkie82 (t•c) 19:08, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

@Sparkie82: There was resounding consensus to delete the article. An article's age is not a valid argument to keep it. A week of discussion is the standard and is only extended if consensus is unclear, which was not the case here. There was no support to move the content anywhere else. ✗plicit 03:52, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

I was questioning the timing of the discussion, opening an AFD in the midst of a highly contentious election which could taint any consensus and suggested that the discussion/decision occur some time after the election. In any case, how can I access the information in the article which I need for my own purposes? Sparkie82 (t•c) 22:46, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Template-deletion

Regarding Misplaced Pages:Templates for discussion/Log/2023 July 25#Template:Chembox DrugClass, I don't doubt the nomination and lack of use at that time, but the {{Chembox DrugClass}} template is in support of a feature that was (and still is) implemented and documented. The {{Chembox}} suite is possibly some of the spaghettiest spaghetti we have:( So since then, at least one article invoked {{chembox}} in a way that triggered that template and therefore gave broken output. Is this sufficient basis to un-delete it? DMacks (talk) 13:09, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

@DMacks: Yes, the template can be undeleted if it is put to use. The nominator does a lot of cleanup with unused templates and nominates them for that reason, as to not keep hundreds of templates laying around for no one to maintain them. ✗plicit 13:15, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Tryptamine uses it. I definitely have no objection to that sort of cleanup. In this particular case, it would have been easily noticed by the chemistry folks if a note had been posted to the template talkpage. It's a redirect, where the target has decent visibility but the template itself is not, so I'm not surprised nobody noticed that the template itself was tagged. DMacks (talk) 13:23, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

@DMacks: I've restored the template, so everything is sorted now. ✗plicit 13:30, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Please undelete Draft:Santikaro

Hi Xplicit and happy holidays to you and all your loved ones!

I've left a message on my talk page and on the deletion page to ask for please reinstating / undeleting my draft https://en.wikipedia.org/Draft:Santikaro

The only reason I did not get to edit it for six months is that I started teaching and it took all my time. I have been intending to make a minor edit before the deadline but forgot by mistake to set the calendar reminder.

I believe this article can be easily accepted - a number of people on here have given me useful advice on what needs to be done for the article to be easily accepted.

I would greatly appreciate undeleting it, please.

Happy holidays and happy new year, may you be well, happy and safe, -Peaceful-D Peaceful-D (talk) 15:27, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Pictures Deleted?

I recently uploaded 2 pictures that you then moved to the delete log, and I’m not sure why. Both of the are from a public website of a public university, UL. Wouldn’t that make them free content? What is needed to allow these to be published? Thanks. Frank042316 (talk) 15:54, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

@Frank042316: I guess you're referring to File:DOL Property.png and File:OLOL Acregae.png. At the upload form, you must have indicated a licensing restriction, like noncommercial use or no derivatives, as these were automatically tagged for speedy deletion in accordance with WP:CSD#F3. What are the source links for these images? ✗plicit 00:56, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

they are from the universities web page, and were used to nnou de the purchase of the 2 pieces of property, so very much in the public domain. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frank042316 (talk • contribs) 10:02, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

@Frank042316: Being available on the university's webpage does not mean the files are in the public domain, unless it explicitly states so. Can you provide links to determine the copyright status of these two files? ✗plicit 11:34, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Template:Blockquote protection

No rush, but I think {{Blockquote}} was at template editor protection, not full protection, before the most recent merge/delete/undelete fun adventure that you appear to have had. It has been useful for me to be able to edit it over the past few years as people change their minds about tiny parts of MOS. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:43, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

@Jonesey95: Ah, I see it now. The protection log of {{Blockquote}} shows full protection from 2011, but over at its previous title {{Quote}}, it was reduced to template editors three years later. I've adjusted it accordingly. ✗plicit 00:56, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
