* ''']''' – There is clearly no consensus to overturn this close so this defaults to endorse. What also comes out here, and I have a great deal of sympathy for this view, is that we do not yet have a clear standard for UFC articles that MMA users can rely on to tell them what can and cannot go into mainspace. As a result we seem doomed to rehearsing these discussions and failing to reach any clear consensus. I think I said this before, but I strongly recommend a moratorium in creating or nominating UFC articles until such time as that consensus is in place. My thanks to the users who cleaned up their comments, their subsequent analysis were far more helpful – Spartaz Humbug! 10:46 am, Today (UTC+4) (Note that the attributation history appears to have been fixed)<!--*--> | |||

I had considered taking to DRV shortly after the closure, but decided against it. However, the more I think about it, the more I find it hard to accept that deletion was the consensus in this discussion. If anything, the consensus was a clear keep and, with no offense meant, this closure seems very much like a supervote. I did not attempt to discuss the matter with the closing admin as he had already discussed it with other editors and also indicated that he would not be offended if it was taken here. ] <small>(] • ])</small> | I had considered taking to DRV shortly after the closure, but decided against it.

:*I think i kind of dropped the ball on how i attempted to mediate that conversation. it never did become an actual RfC, i was attempting to redraft the guidelines as people gave their input. We got near unanimous support when the bottom fell through. i'm still willing to work on it but people expressed that they weren't happy with the format i was using (the "versions"). I still think it could possibly get through an RfC, but i don't have a good handle on doing it the right way. ] (]) 15:20, 7 January 2013 (UTC) | |||

::*It makes it easy for people to skate around what should be a case of ], so yes, there's a lot wrong with undeleting the history, unless you revdelete the ''content'' of the history and preserve only the editors names and edit summaries. In general, this is why it's a bad idea to undelete articles unless you are confident the editor intends to create a complete standalone article from the result. REFUND and merging are logically incompatible.—](]) 01:53, 5 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
:::*No; we can close the AFD as "delete", redirect it to a relevant page, delete copies as G4, and protect the redirect after the first instance of someone un-redirecting it. I'm confused by your final sentence; merged content may not be deleted for copyright reasons, so REFUND and merging appear to me to be mandatory when someone wants to use the deleted content in an appropriate manner. ] (]) 01:59, 5 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
::::*Or, better yet, do as I have done: move the history of UFC 157 under the target of the merged article. That way, you have both preserved the history for licensing and not changed a delete into a redirect.

:::::*That's somewhat confusing (it makes the page history look rather odd), but in my opinion it's better than leaving it deleted when there's nothing illegal or otherwise bigtime problematic in the history. I'll close this request. ] (]) 02:45, 5 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
:::::* I prefer ] over a ]. Since the combination article was created after the deletion, there is no history interleaving, and this is not a ''bad'' histmerge.

*I reopened this. If this delete were actually overturned, we would restore the contents of UFC 157 to here and provide a pointer to its history. This kind of thing is ''precisely'' why REFUNDed material should never be permitted to be merged. It's OK to let contributors know what the list of sources for the deleted article was to aid them in building new content, but to refund the material and have another editor merge it into another article, all without DRV, basically acts to subvert the original delete without discussion. If I was a jerk, I could have speedied ] as an unambiguous copyright violation of the original article, but, despite all too common of opinion, I'm not a jerk.—](]) 03:25, 5 January 2013 (UTC) | |||

:*I am not sure what has been reopened. Is it really the case that if ] is REFUNDed to me and I incorporate the text in ], a jerkish admin can within policy delete by ] the latter entire article? Moreover, my reading of ] suggests that not even a newly created sectional redirect (replacing an AfD-deleted article) can be G4 deleted (but I think they sometimes are). ] was created after the AfD of UFC 157 had been closed (though its history is now opaque) so for most people in practical terms it was not available as a merge target to be considered. Two people suggested merges and there was somewhat broader support for a compromise between the territorial arguments of delete and keep. ] (]) 10:28, 5 January 2013 (UTC) | |||

::*I know this is entirely theoretical, but if a sysop used G12 to justify deleting material that originally appeared in Misplaced Pages article, then they'd be crushingly overturned at DRV on grounds of epic failure to comprehend the terms of use that are linked at the bottom of every page.

:::* Not true. I certainly use it for unattributed cut-and-paste problems. Pasting unattributed material is a G12, even if we are the source. In general, though, it's better to find other ways around it.—](]) 15:20, 5 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
::::* I'm not commenting on the rest of this DRV, but I have to say that I can't see where that usage of G12 is at all supported by policy. ] (]) 06:56, 6 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
::::* Without any comment on the rest of this discussion, I agree with Jclemens that this is not a use of G12 consistent with any policy I know of. If material has been copied within Misplaced Pages without attribution then the correct course of action is to attribute it ({{temp|copied}}) and, if appropriate, leave a message for the copying user. The inclusion or removal of such material in an article should be decided on encyclopaedic not copyright grounds. Obviously this is not necessary where the inclusion is vandalism (e.g. I have vague memories of ]'s article being replaced by a copy/paste of ]), in which circumstances the vandalism is reverted/deleted as vandalism in the same way that the pasting of an irrelevant copyrighted external source into an article would be. ] (]) 17:36, 6 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
:::::*It's a side issue, but I'll stand by my use of G12 in such situations. Let's take a pretty standard example. Someone takes the entire contents of "Color blindness" and pastes it under the title "colour insensitivity", manually installing a redirect at "Color blindness". Screws up the history royally, on top of any naming concerns. I'll typically undo the manual redirect and delete the unattributed pasted contents with G12. G6 could apply, arguably A10 could apply, but I normally use G12 because it addresses my specific concern. I'm not deleting it because of duplication (A10), I'm deleting it because it was improperly licensed. It's quite possible to violate Misplaced Pages's copyright terms, and it's possible for our own editors to do so.—](]) 18:08, 6 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
::::::*In that scenario you should not be deleting anything. You should be reverting the undiscussed move of "colour blindness" and making "colour sensitivity" a redirect to it (or reverting to that redirect if one existed previously). If the title is not a plausible redirect (e.g. "seeing in black and white only") you should delete it per A10, which is intended for such purposes. If you are unsure you should redirect it and then send the redirect to RfD. Yes, it is possible for users to violate our copyright, but it is possible for others to fix this and per ] and other guidelines, deletion should be a last resort. ] (]) 18:39, 6 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
:::::::*Meanwhile retaining a byte-for-byte copy lacking appropriate licensing or attribution? Putting in a new redirect after deleting the problem is an option. Deleting the target and performing the move properly is an option. Deleting the target and restoring the original article is an option. Leaving improperly licensed and unattributed material in an article history when a perfectly good and licensed copy of it exists somewhere else isn't an option. At least not a good one.—](]) 18:56, 6 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
::::::::: I agree with Kww that deletion is the best solution to this example case. The copy should not be left unattributed in the redirect's history, and using {{tl|Copied}} is ridiculous overkill. ] (]) 05:06, 7 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
:::::::::: Is WP:ATD no longer policy? I've noticed an increasing tendency to pretend it doesn't exist.—] <small>]/]</small> 12:00, 7 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
:::::::::::Certainly it's policy. The issue here is that in the hypothetical, the material is already being retained. The motivation behind ATD is to preserve material, and the material is being preserved in a correctly licensed and atributed from. The other case, which started the discussion, is a case where an editor uses REFUND to unilaterally bypass an AFD discussion. In that case, the discussion has already taken place, and the material has already been deleted per that discussion. The balancing act is between maintaining licensing and not allowing editors to overrule AFDs. It's hard to find a policy compliant approach that fulfills both goals. I think we need to move this discussion somewhere else, but it's clear to me that refunded material should never be allowed to be merged, and we need to figure out how to ensure that is enforced.—](]) 15:09, 7 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
::::::::::: How does retaining the ''copy'' improve Misplaced Pages? Is it worth the work of placing a proper <nowiki>{{Copied}}</nowiki>? You know that I disagree that WP:ATD dictates that "deletion should be a last resort" in all situations and at all costs (quoted from Thryduulf above, but I've seen it before). ] (]) 05:26, 8 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
{{unindent}} Yes, this has always been why ATD is unpopular: the delete button is an easy solution to a lot of problems. ATD is and has always been about editor retention. I realise ATD makes things harder for sysops. Its purpose, together with WP:PRESERVE, is to stop you deleting and reverting things, so that it's easier for new editors to make a difference with their early edits and to see how they have received a reward for their little effort in the form of a credit in the article's edit history. However, the objection (properly understood) is to the use of G12 to delete material that we're using in accordance with the terms of use. That's not appropriate and I would expect DRV to take a dim view of it.—] <small>]/]</small> 12:37, 8 January 2013 (UTC) | |||

*'''Endorse''' AfD is not a vote count. Most of the closer's analysis is valid. If there is material that has been merged that violates copyright/attribution policy, there is a process for dealing with that. At Misplaced Pages, we don't need to predict the future, we can wait for it. ] (]) 21:08, 5 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
*'''Endorse''', when there's a numerical majority in one direction but strength of argument outweighs that, it is incumbent upon the closing admin to explain why. Kww did an admirable job of exactly that, and I think given the analysis, the close is well within discretion. This is an excellent example of why we say "AfD is not a vote." ] <small><sup>]</sup></small> 08:33, 6 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
*'''Endorse''' Appears to comport with relevant process requirements. ''']''' <sup>]</sup> 03:31, 7 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
*'''Overturn''' Just because Kww's argument was in-depth does not mean it was comprehensive, since he only addressed opening statements and none of the nested comments which took up over half the AfD debate. As it were, Kww's argument in the end came down to a lack of diverse coverage establishing the event as non-routine beyond USA Today and its subsidiary MMAJunkie, as a lot of the coverage focused on the two specific headliners who are separately notable for different reasons. Part of the problem with this is that numerous referenced articles establish that Liz Carmouche is specifically notable ''because she is in a title fight at UFC 157, as she is the first openly gay MMA fighter fighting for a world championship'' in addition to the first openly gay athlete in the UFC, and not because she is simply the first notable openly gay fighter, as she is not (] predates her on that; also world consensus #1 female strawweight ] is also openly gay but has never gotten anywhere the amount of coverage Carmouche got as there is no real world title in her weight class). Quite a bit of the coverage on Rousey also focused on the fight.Additionally, other articles establishing the non-routine notability of the event itself ''were'' cited in the AfD, which Kww makes no mention of despite saying that ''"other keep voters are going to have to fill that in by actually finding diverse sources"''. I cited articles from , , , , and , in addition to a separate which hadn't been mentioned yet. None of these are routine coverage as they are either articles on the notability of the fight, or from sources whose sporting coverage is practically non-existent and thus the fact that they'd talk about it at all is notable. This was all months away from the event itself. Also, the fact that most of the event's notability was stemming from the headlining fight and not the rest of the card is not material if it still makes the event UFC 157 notable. I'm sure as the event draws closer there would be additional materials on the co-main-event at the very least. As it were, deleting the article on ] grounds was highly inappropriate when it should have been clear from a quick Google News search that it passes ], and considering how contentious this deletion debate was I don't think it was appropriate that Kww specifically would be the one to close is as he is hardly an uninvolved editor in the ongoing MMA editing wars, but I'd still be strongly for overturning the deletion either way. ] (]) 04:08, 7 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
*'''Comment''' I'm gonna say I really have to disagree with the weighing of comments WP:NOT and WP:CRYSTALBALL have been thrown at countless UFC articles and overruled plenty of times before by moderator decision. It's the same few editors that keep throwing those policies at UFC events relentlessly, so I believe they should hold less weight due to being proven false so many times in the past. In addition, this particular decision seems to given little to no weight to pretty much every claim in support of keeping the page, which leads me to believe there's a heavy bias or predisposition in place here. When even policy-based reasons for keeping are simply dismissed as "no weight" or "nothing new", then the same treatment should be given for reasons for deleting. ] (]) 04:56, 7 January 2013 (UTC) <small>— ] (] • ]) has made ] outside this topic. </small> | |||
*'''Endorse''' "DRV is not AFD round 2". I significantly point at the fact that no significant loss has occured. Yes the nacent article was deleted, it got restored in userspace to be integrated into the ] article and attribution was retained. Has the section expanded enough to merit spliting out? Not yet. We're still a month and a half from the event and we still have the original concerns (Unsure if the headliners and major fighters on the ticket will be in, Not significantly covered outside the subject space, etc.). ] (]) 16:20, 7 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
::A bit ironic for someone so involved in the AFD to endorse it for the reason that this isn't round 2, isn't it? | |||
::I'd also like to point out that, sure, my account hasn't done much outside the MMA deletion stuff. But that's because the other pages I view are often complete and not repeatedly being deleted by in a ].

::::Again, it's a bit ironic. My comments get dismissed for being a single-purpose account and possible sock puppet (which is not true, I am simply one of many individuals dismayed at the constant struggle surrounding this particular topic), but why are editors not discredited for having a personal agenda? I've reviewed AfD history in terms of MMA pages, and the nominations are strongly targetted, not towards the events that are less notable or the pages that are poorly sourced, but instead towards the event(s) which is/are most popular at the moment. Within a week or month of UFC 157 happening, the page will most likely exist again, with few changes other than some results added. It won't be any more or less against policy than before (except for the WP:CRYSTAL part), but since it's no longer going to rile up the MMA community, it won't be AfD nominated again. I'm not sure what policy goes with this, but I do know the saying, "Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it."

Any publications that routinely cover football will also cover a Superbowl game. Any publications that routinely cover golf will also cover the yearly Masters Tournament. Venturing out of sports, any news station that routinely cover politics will cover a presidential election. That alone does not disprove notability- it's the lack of non-routine coverage that does. And that lack of non-routine coverage is not proven. | |||
:*]- Only one ] has ever been canceled, and THAT event still has its own page due to the historic nature of its cancellation. If an event either does happen or it doesn't, and it's notable either way, how can it fail WP:CRYSTAL? | |||
:*On the keep side, "Why would you delete an article for an event that is coming up, just to have to start it all over again. How about we work on improving it." -Why is this dismissed as a bad argument with no weight? Is this not the spirit of ]? ] (]) 04:28, 8 January 2013 (UTC) | |||

*'''Comment'''Is there ever going to actually be a set of standards applied to which articles are deleted and which aren't? Events that have happened have strange arguments made against being article worthy. Events that haven't happened seem to randomly have pages or not. All the non-UFC promotions have been ignored when it would make more sense to have started by deleting/merging them. Sigh. ] (]) 22:07, 8 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
:*I've previously pointed this out myself. Unfortunately, the point tends to get blown off as either a weak "other stuff exists" arguement, or attributed to being a personal attack. Again, I don't know which policy covers this, but at the end of the day, if we are trying to clean up wikipedia in good faith, why do UFC fight cards, headlined by upcoming title fights, continuously end up nominated for AfD, while ] sits there without a nomination? I don't know how to word it or what policy to link or what suggestion to give, but I don't think it's right that these "fails notability/crystal ball" nominations should be used against solely against the pages that contain the most notable events while things that should be cleaned up are dismissed because it wouldn't start any drama if they were gone. ] (]) 01:32, 10 January 2013 (UTC) | |||

The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the page above. Please do not modify it. |
I had considered taking to DRV shortly after the closure, but decided against it. However, the more I think about it, the more I find it hard to accept that deletion was the consensus in this discussion. If anything, the consensus was a clear keep and, with no offense meant, this closure seems very much like a supervote. I did not attempt to discuss the matter with the closing admin as he had already discussed it with other editors and also indicated that he would not be offended if it was taken here.

The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the page above. Please do not modify it. |
Request restoration of article twice deleted by editor/adminstrator Nyttend. Article was deleted on Sept 28 with edit summary "deleted page Old Union School (Chesterville, Ohio) (A3: Article that has no meaningful, substantive content). IMO, that was invalid, the Speedy deletion of "No content" was not justified. I requested copy to my userspace, subsequently developed it further and restored it to mainspace. Second it was deleted a month later, on Oct 28, with edit summary "deleted page Old Union School (Chesterville, Ohio) (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement)", and Nyttend subsequently refused to even share a copy of the deleted page. The first deletion was discussed 28 September 2012 at Nyttend's Talk page (halfway down within archived section User talk:Nyttend/Archive 24#Hobart Welded Steel House Co. articles and other Ohio NRHP articles). He had deleted this plus 3 covered bridge articles, all Ohio NRHP articles. I believed then and now that all 4 deletions were invalid. However I discussed them pleasantly IMHO, obtained Nyttend's restoration of them to userspace, and I edited all four further before restoring to mainspace. It was an accomodation to Nyttend that I developed them further using a source that he seems to like. I also edited mention of that source into general resource wp:NRHPhelpOH. I was trying to be nice. The second deletion was discussed in now-archived User talk:Nyttend/Archive 25#please provide copy of page you just deleted. The reader must "unhide" section hidden and labelled as "Copyright infringement is illegal, and attempting to convince me otherwise is unwelcome." and must unhide section hidden and labelled as "TLDR". Please, Nyttend and others, read those. In these sections two editors, Cbl62 and Mercy11, disagree with Nyttend and ask him to restore the article. Reference was made to a previous discussion at Talk:C. Ferris White, where Nyttend had unusual views on copyright, and editors Moonriddengirl and Dirtlawyer1 commented. I tried to be nice and explain further how I was seeking some compromise with Nyttend accomodating to his concern about quality of articles in his domain of Ohio and Indiana, and I suggested i would drop it for a while until a deletion review would be necessary. It was ended, i guess, by Nyttend closing it up with "too long didn't read" summary. This is related to similar DRV, non-yet-closed, at Misplaced Pages:Deletion review/Log/2012 December 29#House at 1022 West Main Street, where 7 editors have so far called for Overturn of Nyttend's similar deletion of other Ohio/Indiana articles/redirects created by me. This DRV, anyhow, to discuss restoration of this article, please. (Side question on process: is it appropriate to copy the deleted text to here? I don't see how this DRV process works if all cannot see the deleted item.) doncram 16:47, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
