Premature deletion of File:Revolutionary Times 1998.jpg

The author of the media in File:Revolutionary Times 1998.jpg, Loey Glover, sent an email granting permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and {{OTRS pending}} was added to the file description page to prevent premature deletion. -- The Hammer of Thor (talk) 17:09, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

@The Hammer of Thor: The {{OTRS pending}} tag was removed by the OTRS member Czar with the comment: "no sign of OTRS ticket in system—re-add with ticket number or more details on finding it, or the OTRS agent can undelete the file". When was the permission email sent? Did the sender receive a ticket number? ℯxplicit 23:56, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

The date of the email was March 12, 2017. I reached out again to the author, who is a 75-year old woman, and she didn't see a reply email with a ticket number. I can forward the email, if that would help. -- The Hammer of Thor (talk) 00:31, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

@The Hammer of Thor: I'll drop a note to the OTRS team and see what information I can relay back to you. ℯxplicit 02:15, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. Possibly Ms. Glover was unsuccessful sending the email. So I forwarded my correspondence with her. I appreciate your help straightening this out. -- The Hammer of Thor (talk) 02:57, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

@Explicit: Can File:Revolutionary Times 1998.jpg be restored now with {{OTRS pending}}? -- The Hammer of Thor (talk) 15:42, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello? -- The Hammer of Thor (talk) 01:01, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

@The Hammer of Thor: Sorry, must have missed your comment amid those by others. Generally, once deleted, pages are not restored until permission is confirmed. This is because the permission may ultimately not be sufficient to restore it in the first place, and Misplaced Pages would be hosting content in violation of someone's copyright. Unfortunately, it will be a waiting game for now; the image will be restored immediately if the confirmation goes through. ℯxplicit 00:24, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

File:All India Football Federation 2016.png

Hi Explict. The use of File:All India Football Federation 2016.png in Indian national football team seems the same thing as what was discussed at Misplaced Pages:Files for discussion/2016 February 6#File:India FA.svg. 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. This edit 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 User talk:ArsenalFan700#File:All India Football Federation 2016.png, but still no non-free use rationale has been added. There has already been discussion about Indian team logos at User talk:Explicit/Archive 24#File:India FA.svg revistied 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? -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:39, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: The file is a bit too complex to fall under the threshold of originality; I'd tag it without any reversations for speedy deletion at Commons if I came across it there, and it would also likely be deleted with no qualms. The addition of the file was done here by an anonymous user. I'll go ahead and remove it again, and see how it continues from there. ℯxplicit 02:15, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for checking this as well. I was going to add {{Missing rationale2}} to the article's talk page, but I can't seem to get the template to work right.

Just for reference, the file was added here by Arsenal700 before the IP's edit, I removed the file here and then the IP re-added it. The non-free use rationale added by Arsenal700 when they uploaded the file combined multiple uses into a single rationale. I corrected that here based upon the FFD for the previous logo, and stated in my edit sum that separate specific rationale was needed for the team article. After the IP readded the file, I added {{di-missing some article links}} to the file's page with this edit, but did not remove the file. When Arsenal700 updated the file arelier this month, they also removed that template with this edit without adding the required rationale, I reverted on the file's page but did not remove the file from the article. I then posted the above-mentioned post on Arsenal700's user talk asking them to add the rationale. When the team article was nominated for GA by Arsenal700, it showed up on my watchilist. At the same time there was also Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Hashim-afc/Archive#26 March 2017 going on, and the sock mentioned the GA review. So, I checked the file again and noticed it still had no non-free use rationale. That's is what led me to post on your user talk. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:44, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Arsenal700 reverted your removal of the file from the team's page with this edit. The edit sum says "Updated", but once again no nfur was provided for the file's use in the article, so I'm not sure what "Updated" is supposed to mean. My previous post above might have seemed a bit rambling and I apologize if I am starting to sound like a broken record, but I'm not sure how many more times Arsenal700 needs to be informed via edit sums or talk page posts about NFCCP compliance. This is really starting to seem like a case of WP:IDHT.-- Marchjuly (talk) 00:36, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: I've blocked the user this time. Enough is enough, really. ℯxplicit 01:11, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Files for discussion/2016 March 18#File:Football Association of Singapore crest.svg

Hi Explicit. Since you were the admin who closed Misplaced Pages:Files for discussion/2016 March 18#File:Football Association of Singapore crest.svg as keep for only Football Association of Singapore, I am wondering if you wouldn't mind taking a look at User talk:CO16#March 2017. The editor has been re-adding the file to Singapore national football team, despite being advised about it here. (I mistakenly referred to Graeme Bartlett as the closing admin in that post, but all of the other information was correct I believe.) Anyway, perhaps another editor will be able to explain this better than me. Please note this user seems to quickly remove posts from their use talk page, which is fine, but which means that you may have to check the page's history if the above link doesn't work. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:44, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

You were too quick to issue an edit warring warning when user only re-added the file once. There is too little development in this situation to warrant intervention by outside parties. ℯxplicit 02:15, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for being frank about the edit warring warning. In hindsight, I agree that it was premature. I usually add {{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. Any suggestions on what to do if, by chance, the same editor re-adds the file once again? -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:16, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Same editor has re-added the logo again. Please advise on how to proceed. -- Marchjuly (talk) 15:41, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

@Hassantaiwo: Although I deleted the article under proposed deletion, it was later deleted as a result of this deletion discussion. You should discuss that deletion with the closing adminstrator. ℯxplicit 00:16, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Your assistance please...

You deleted File:David hicks full frame.jpg, after it had been orphaned for seven days. Could you please share with me the URL it was from? Frankly, it seems to me the contributor who caused the image to be orphaned was routinely overzealous in their interpretation of NFCC. Geo Swan (talk) 05:25, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

@Geo Swan: Sure. It was the first picture from this BBC News article. ℯxplicit 06:14, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

File:Toys "R" Us logo.svg

CAn you restore File:Toys "R" Us logo.svg? The logos that replaced this one were deleted at Commons. Thanks © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 20:25, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

@Tbhotch: I've restored the image for now, but I'm actually going to challenge that closure over at Commons. The outcome appears incorrect to me. ℯxplicit 02:15, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of Image

Hey, I have noticed you deleted the image here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/File:Mir_Muhammad_Naseer_Khan_Talpur.png As there has been no source for the image. However, this person died in 1843, which is a period of 174 years from now. Assuming the artist/photographer took the photo at an age of say, when he was born (actually impossible, but lets assume) and dies 100 years later, 74 years have passed since he died, putting the work in the public domain. Hence I please request you to un-delete the work, after which I will put the necessary licenses and tags on the image. Thanks86.97.128.114 (talk) 17:54, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

The file description lacked an author, source, and date. Additionally, we need a source to verify its publication date, not its creation date. There isn't sufficient information right now to determine that it's in the public domain. ℯxplicit 02:15, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Deletion question

You marked The Wellness Network page for deletion with the following notation:

00:37, 17 February 2017 Explicit (talk | contribs) deleted page The Wellness Network (Expired PROD, concern was: Non-notable non-broadcast TV network. Seems to be an advertising channel but not a notable one. Article is at risk of being a spam magnet too.)

I didn't see a code to help understand why the page was deleted. The Wellness Network is not a TV network, but a private company that creates healthcare videos that are viewed in hospitals by patients, including maternity and cardiac patients. Is it possible to reverse this deletion? The company is a viable actor in its markets, no different from other private companies with informational Misplaced Pages pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JonVanZile (talk • contribs) 16:43, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

@JonVanZile: Done ℯxplicit 00:24, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Beckhoff Automation

Dear Explicit,

On 22 March 2017 you have deleted the page https://en.wikipedia.org/Beckhoff_Automation and the redirection https://en.wikipedia.org/Beckhoff. You justified the deletion with a reference to the Wiki notability standards for companies.

Beckhoff Automation is a global company with 3350 employees and technology leader in industrial automation. If Beckhoff do not fulfill the notability rules, please explain why these similar companies fulfill the rules: https://en.wikipedia.org/B%26R https://en.wikipedia.org/WAGO_Kontakttechnik https://en.wikipedia.org/Phoenix_Contact

In fact B&R, WAGO, Phoenix Contact and Beckhoff do the same. Hence it would be fair to allow all companies, or to delete all.

Best regards Zhlor — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zhlor (talk • contribs) 10:08, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

@Zhlor: Hi, first, I'd like to clarify that the article was not deleted unilaterally. Another editor proposed its deletion and it went uncontested for seven days. Please take look at the notability guideline for organizations and companies to understand the nature of why it was nominated for deletion to begin with. If you are associated with the company, I also implore you to read the conflict of interest. Please also note that approaching with a "other stuff exists" mindset will not build a particularly strong case for or against the deletion of a page, as things are reviewed individually, and the other articles you mentioned may not have been reviewed at all. ℯxplicit 00:23, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Retrieving a page: Oswaldo Oropeza, el compositor de LatinoamericaCite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).

Good afternoon Explicit,

I would like to request the undeletion of the page I was creating for my father, Please.

The name of the page: Oswaldo Oropeza, el compositor de Latinoamerica. This page was written in English and I have done research and have not found the page.

Please let me know if I can have back my dad's page.

I will be waiting for your response.

Thank you,

Caribana10 (talk) 23:25, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello again Explicit!

I am waiting for your answer, let me know please if it is possible to retrieve my father's page.

Caribana10 (talk) 23:34, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

@Caribana10: I assume the page you are speaking of is Draft:Oswaldo Oropeza. The page history shows that you first created the draft in July 2013, and that it has been deleted three times since October 2015. As Misplaced Pages is not a webhost or memorial, what will you do different this time around? ℯxplicit 00:23, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
