Large recent amounts of u5

Hey! Sorry for the somewhat large amount of u5's I've been requesting suddenly. I had ran across a small set of u5-like pages while checking on some linter errors, and after doing a few checks, there turned out to be more pages than I expected just like it. I recently just expanded the insource check to catch probably every case that could be relevant (see here, note a few small false positives). I don't exactly want to go through and tag about 20 or more so pages with u5 manually and have an admin chase me around, so could I ask you check through this list yourself, since you processed my recent requests. Thanks. Aidan9382 _(talk) 12:40, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

@Aidan9382: Hi, thanks for the note. I caught wind of this and searched for "Jsssmiugpg" and caught only one userpage, so I thought it was the end of it. I didn't expect it extend even further. Every single account that showed up in your query was created in the past 24 hours, so this seems well organized. I have deleted them given the circumstances. I wonder if the article of the culprit JSS Banashankari Arts, Commerce & S.K.Gubbi Science College needs to get canned. ✗plicit 12:57, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Just for note, it seems to be happening again today. Found using this insource search which catches JSS SMI, as well as this new search which picks up some talkpage messages left by some of the users where the page otherwise wouldn't pick up. Seems to definitely be some sort of school project or something along those lines, though I'm not sure how to really proceed with handling this from here.

Deleted file

Hello Explicit, I was wondering whether you could un-delete a file for me or if I would just have to reupload it. Alt.Latino was using the image File:Alt.Latino Podcast Cover.jpg, however, someone replaced it with the commons file File:Alt-Latino_Podcast-Tile_(1).png, which left the file unused and led to its deletion. The commons file was then deleted because the file was not free to use and now the article has no image at all. TipsyElephant (talk) 21:18, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

@TipsyElephant:  Done, file restored. This version is actually a plain text logo, unlike the deleted version, so I have transferred it to Commons. ✗plicit 23:55, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Request to make a draft article for International Philippine School in Riyadh

Hi! I know the PROD for International Philippine School in Riyadh expired. I am in the process of looking for sources to re-establish the article. Is it OK if I make a draft of the page on my user space?

Thank you, WhisperToMe (talk) 00:24, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: Hi, since this article was deleted via PROD, it is considered uncontroversial and can be undeleted by request. I have no opinion on the matter. ✗plicit 10:50, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Move to commons request

Hi Explicit. Two things: would you be able to move File:Home Depot U. S. A., Inc. v. Jackson oral arguments.mp3 to Commons? I am prevented from doing so by an abuse filter, as the file is a .mp3. Second thing: is there a better place to make requests like this? Happy holidays, HouseBlaster 18:05, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

@HouseBlaster: Hi, the audio file is now available on Commons. To request a file to be moved to Commons, you can tag it with {{Move to Commons}} For an immediate result, I suppose you'd have to ask someone to do so. Which tool did you use to attempt the file transfer? I used FileImporter without issue. ✗plicit 09:36, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

I used FileImporter, too. I triggered an AbuseFilter, which prevents the upload of .mp3s. I asked you because you are an admin at Commons, and thus are exempt from the filter. HouseBlaster 02:52, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Verizon Delaware

Please undelete this article. The PROD was mistaken, as there were sources in the article, albeit in the form of external links. Ref formatting cleanup was needed, but deletion was a total mistake, as it's just as notable as the other Regional Bell Operating Companies. Deletion has left out coverage of the Breakup of the Bell System, a major topic in business and technology history, incomplete. oknazevad (talk) 19:15, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

@Oknazevad: Done – as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored upon request. ✗plicit 09:36, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks! oknazevad (talk) 03:02, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Reverse Speedy Deletion Please

Hi, please could you reverse the Speedy Deletion of my account: HistoryIsKeytoKnow I am just getting started and now realise that I should have not listed my published books on my page! I have removed my list and will be careful from now on. Thank you, HistoryIsKeyToKnow HistoryIsKeyToKnow (talk) 23:04, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

@HistoryIsKeyToKnow: Hi, your account was not deleted, only the content which you posted in violation of the speedy deletion criterion WP:CSD#U5. Please see WP:UP#GOALS for further guidance. Regarding restoration, you'd basically be left with a blank page. The current content on your userpage is fine. ✗plicit 00:20, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

File:Ye on Timcast IRL.ogg, File:IShowSpeed on 100k.ogg, and File:Kai Cenat on Chips Ahoy.ogg

Hey Explicit. I noticed that the above filed were deleted under the claim that they had no free equivalents. Can you please explain how exactly how exactly this is? There really is not any free excerpts of these guys - or at least authentic ones. When you sort on YouTube via the Creative Commons category while searching up their names, all of the "creative commons" videos are either clearly ripped off from the streams of the latter two or just cover stories in the case of all three. There really doesn't seem to be any free equivalent for their voices. Knightoftheswords281 (talk) 05:12, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

@Knightoftheswords281: Please see WP:NFCC#1: Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose. As all the subjects appear to be alive, free equivalents could be created, thus failing the "no free equivalent" criterion. ✗plicit 00:20, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Chess in the arts

The deletion of all of the screengrabs I made to illustrate various points in this article was a surprise. I had hoped to spark a discussion of the matter, however, along with the images (which I still maintain add important context to the article), the Talk pages and links to various discussions about the matter were also deleted, making further discussion difficult. Admittedly, my grasp of the nuance of the legalese pertaining to licence and fair use is clearly not as refined as yours, but the images were made and uploaded in good faith, and I do believe that there is a solid rational for their inclusion. Anything that can be done to find a middle-ground here? Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 13:45, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

@Cl3phact0: Hi, these screenshot were deleted for not satisfying point eight of the non-free content criteria policy. It is a two-pronged test: the inclusion of the image must "significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." This is usually accomplished when the file is accompanied by sourced critical commentary of what the image depicts, see the "contextual significance" criterion for further information. These files were only used in a section of the chess in the arts article, as the nominator put it, "to illustrate a point of trivia." ✗plicit 00:20, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply and best wishes for the New Year.

The logic behind my addition of the images was that in the context of the article, almost all of the other information is supported by visual examples (i.e., paintings, illuminated texts, excerpts from books, photographs of chess pieces designed by historically significant people, etc.), whereas the section about chess in film (and television) has very little corresponding imagery. As the subject is chess in the arts, and much of the the information concerns visual arts, it seemed like a worthwhile and relevant addition that improved contextual significance (point 8). When I first came across the article, the only such example was the screenshot of the Bergman film. I located the image of A Chess Dispute on Commons, and subsequently, taking the example of The Seventh Seal screenshot, went ahead made the similar images (2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, Casablanca, Star Trek, etc.) specifically for this purpose. As such, I believe that there is a justifiable use that improves the article and that the images do more than "illustrate a point of trivia" in this context.

With this in mind, I would hope that you and Whpq might reconsider the matter and reinstate the images. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 11:47, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

I will make this very simple. No. They do not meet WP:NFCC#8. -- Whpq (talk) 14:02, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Whpq: Simple, yes, almost to a fault — though without elucidating much. Alas, I'm stumped here: How does The Seventh Seal image (the model upon which I based the additions) pass this interpretation of the NFCC#8 criteria, but not the proposed new screenshots? Thanks for your help (and apologies if I'm missing the obvious — this is clearly more complex than one would think). Cl3phact0 (talk) 16:27, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

The image from The Seventh Seal also fails WP:NFCC#8 and shouldn't be there. Thanks for calling it to my attention. -- Whpq (talk) 19:35, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Great, glad to have something to show for my trouble! Shame nobody caught it sooner (could've saved us both a lot of precious time). I'm struggling to find even a modest gain in this: the WP:NFCC#8 criteria seem to contain more nuance and flexibility of interpretation than your laconic response might suggest — yet discussion seems to be off the table, in spite of an earlier suggestion that a discussion be opened on the Talk page of the files in question (now also deleted). Again, my intention was simply to ever so modestly improve the article, not wade into a morass. Godspeed, Cl3phact0 (talk) 21:36, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

The discussion on the file's talk page is for the purposes of challenging the deletion. The reviewing administrator would review the reason for deletion, the challenge to the deletion and determine if the image should be kept, or deleted based on policy. If the decision is not clear, then the administrator may chose to nominate if for deletion were a larger discussion can be had. In this case, these images fall well short of meeting the contextual significance required to meet WP:NFCC#8, and so they were deleted without the need for further discussion. -- Whpq (talk) 22:34, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

I have to respect your opinion, as you clearly have expert knowledge and a great deal of experience in the interpretation of WP:NFCC policy. It does seem like a somewhat self-defeating shame that the article (indeed, Misplaced Pages itself) can't be improved with more and better contextual imagery of this nature — or for that matter, that discussion about these matters should be limited to one person's point of view. In any case, I've given as much of my time to this as I'm willing or able to do. (In future, I'll also likely refrain from uploading imagery other than photos I've made myself as it seems, at the very least, like a headache-inducing and futile waste of time.) Good luck with your other projects, whatever they may be, and all the best, Cl3phact0 (talk) 09:06, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

PS: If this discussion is of interest to anyone else, please see: User talk:Whpq#Bogart, Dylan, Frank v. Hal, Spock, et al. for ref. Also, @Explicit, apologies for cluttering your Talk page with this matter rather than sweeping it back into the above referenced thread (where it probably belongs). Cl3phact0 (talk) 00:00, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi

Deletion review for Olga Obukhova

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Olga Obukhova. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Stifle (talk) 10:16, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Licenses not covering the US

Dear Explicit,

A happy new year to you! I have a brief question regarding the speedy deletion criterion F4: If only a foreign license has been given, but there has been no attempt to license a file for the US (and common sense does not suggest to me that any applies), is it then appropriate to tag it under F4? The criterion refers to "necessary" license information, which I read as a license covering the US, but as you recently referred me to FfD for such a tag, I just wanted to bring this up on your talk page. I am currently sifting through the "Disputed license" backlog, so there might be quite a number of these coming up. Many thanks! Felix QW (talk) 13:05, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
