Draft:Fuzhou Oyster Cake

Hi - I'm contacting you because you are the admin who speedy deleted the redirect created when a user WP:DRAFTIFYed an article I created with no notification to me, and what I think is an explanation at odds with what are described as valid reasons in DRAFTIFY; I just want to make sure I didn't miss anything. I do like to create stubs on things which seem to have enough sources, but I don't have the expertise (language or knowledge-base) to really interpret. Thanks! Tduk (talk) 17:28, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

@Tduk: Hi, per WP:DRAFTOBJECT, you are free to move it back into mainspace if you object to the draftification of the article. You may also want to contact the user who moved the page to better understand and perhaps address their concerns. ✗plicit 23:54, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Nicolás Atanes un-protection

Heya @Explicit, I just accepted Nicolás Atanes via AfC, I think it passes notability - would you mind unprotecting the talk page so I can correctly move it? qcne (talk) 21:57, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Restoration of article

Hello, I would like to ask if there is still a chance to restore the articles. @Lenovya They had real sources and were really well done and didn't break Misplaced Pages rules. Thank you in advance for your answer @Explicit Historyk.ok (talk) 17:58, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

@Explicit Historyk.ok (talk) 07:39, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

@Historyk.ok: Hi, I do not restore pages created by banned users per WP:BMB. I can provide the sources as an alternative solution. ✗plicit 12:01, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Yoon Do-young

On 18 December 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Yoon Do-young, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Yoon Do-young (pictured) scored his debut goal for Daejeon Hana Citizen 50 seconds into a match against Gwangju FC? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Yoon Do-young. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Yoon Do-young), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

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.--Launchballer 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)

Thank you so much! GiankM. M (talk) 04:51, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Help me, please

• Hello, dear Explicit! Please, tell me how You can create Your own draft in the Enwiki (for writing future articles)?.. Otherwise, I must admit, here I am, for now, a complete loser... Thanks. Артурчик. (talk) 12:54, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Oh, that's it, hang up! It seems that it has already happened... 🤗🙄🙌 Артурчик. (talk) 13:14, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Bhutabali deletion

While the delete vote looks unanimous, reading the actual arguments instead of the bolded votes shows a clearer consensus for redirection from multiple participants. Could you redirect it instead? Thanks. PARAKANYAA (talk) 13:27, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

@PARAKANYAA:  Done, closure adjusted. ✗plicit 14:47, 22 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)

Thomas Fellows (activist)

Hey, might need a quick page protection here! 🔥YesI'mOnFire🔥 03:40, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Already done! No need to worry yourself here. 🔥YesI'mOnFire🔥 03:48, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

(edit conflict) @YesI'mOnFire: I blocked four accounts as obvious sockpuppets of each other. I didn't see the need to protect it after that, but oh well. ✗plicit 03:52, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Seeing that he tried using multiple account, I doubt he was going to stop anytime soon. So imo a page protection was necessary. Anyway thanks. 🔥YesI'mOnFire🔥 03:54, 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)
