File:Logo of the Wagner Group.svg "violates free-use policy"?

So, why does it violate free-use policy? I got it restored via an undeletion request and there was no issue then. NorthTension (talk) 11:39, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@NorthTension: Please see WP:NFC#cite_note-4: The NFCI#2 allowance for logos only applies to the use of the logo on the infobox or lede for the stand-alone article about the entity, and should reflect its most current logo. The use of historical logos for an entity is not allowed, unless the historical logo itself is described in the context of critical commentary about that historical logo. ✗plicit 14:51, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So since it's still in use, albeit unofficially, can I put it in the infobox then if I'm reading your post correctly? NorthTension (talk) 14:53, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@NorthTension: Not quite sure what you mean by "unofficially", but the contextual significance criterion of policy only allows the use of one non-free item. The article's infobox should use a singular official, main logo. ✗plicit 14:57, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The emblem/patch is still very frequently used despite the one at the top of the infobox being the official legal symbol of Wagner ever since they became part of the Armed Forces. I can provide sources if needed showing the still constant usage of the skull emblem as it's basically their most famous trademark.

Personally I feel like that logo should be exempt from copyright because of it like all other Russian military emblems, but I don't exactly know where to argue that.

Also, if removing the flag version is a requirement to keep the skull emblem on the page then I'd be fine with that, it's literally a seal on a bedsheet. NorthTension (talk) 15:05, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Explicit sorry to bug again but is it cool if I could get a follow-up for this? NorthTension (talk) 17:28, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@NorthTension: I have nothing more to add, as I have already explained the restrictions enforced by policy. ✗plicit 03:30, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So....can we remove the flag that has the logo you deleted on it in exchange for putting that logo back on the page? It's still very explicitly in use even though it's not the official logo anymore. NorthTension (talk) 15:40, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@NorthTension: As I stated above, "policy only allows the use of one non-free item". If the other logo is preferred to the current one, then changing it is an editorial decision. ✗plicit 00:35, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted articles

Can I please see the deleted articles Action Masters and Nucleon (Transformers). Davidgoodheart (talk) 18:54, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Davidgoodheart: Action Masters and Nucleon (Transformers). ✗plicit 14:51, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can I please see the deleted articles Sharita Jackon, Throttlebots, and Monsterbots. Davidgoodheart (talk) 16:35, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Throttlebots and Monsterbots. I'm guessing Sharita Jackon is a typo as it never existed. ✗plicit 14:48, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can I please see the re-directed article Rollbar (Transformers) and deleted articles Doublecross (Transformers), Hailey Dunn, and Danny Mann. Davidgoodheart (talk) 17:07, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Davidgoodheart: Rollbar (Transformers), Doublecross (Transformers), Hailey Dunn. The draft Draft:Danny Mann contains the same content as the deletion version. ✗plicit 00:52, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please Have a Look

This is regarding the recently deleted article: Vastav AI. The creator of the previous page was also found to be a WP:Socks that were making edits to this page. In lieu of that, the page has been recreated by [1] who has barely contributed to anything apart from his article. The other user involved was recently banned: [2] and [3]. I feel that these are a bunch of meat puppets and paid editors, as the current wiki article does clearly do read like an advert as well. I have nominated the page VastavX AI for speedy deletion. Thanks Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 04:02, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Flyingphoenixchips: Yup, this was a word-for-word copy of Vastav Artificial Intelligence, so I have deleted the recreation as G4. ✗plicit 04:32, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Boxabl

I see this was closed as delete yet did not see anyone refuting the WP:HEY. Not asking you to overturn, but if you could restore the last version I did to draft I would appreciate it. Thanks. CNMall41 (talk) 16:02, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CNMall41: The draft is now available at Draft:Boxabl. ✗plicit 00:52, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Roosevelt dictatorship

I'm not sure what the rush was to delete Talk:Roosevelt dictatorship. Someone asked a question in good faith there on the fate of the deleted page. Even if you want to delete the talk page, you should at the bare minimum copy & paste the conversation to that user's talk page so they can see my response. I don't recall the name of the account but you should be able to see it in the history, but I don't see evidence of you doing such a thing in your recent contribs - apologies if I just missed it. SnowFire (talk) 01:57, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see you've been editing since. This is really not a hard request to process - if you've already done so (I can't easily check given the volume of your edits + me not remembering the account's name precisely), please verify so. Should be just view history of deleted page -> move content to the user's talk page with my reply.

For the general case, WP:BITE is a core guideline. If an infrequent editor asks a legitimate question in the wrong spot, the polite thing to do is just move it elsewhere - deleting it with no record it ever was made is pointlessly rude and drives away new contributors. I hope you do not casually delete all such talk pages without bothering to move the content for when said content isn't spam - something to consider for the future. SnowFire (talk) 02:20, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@SnowFire: I have moved the discussion to Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Roosevelt dictatorship. ✗plicit 03:30, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.

That said, I notice you have not replied on the general case. This particular case was weird because I had that page on my watchlist still, so there was a regular editor to "notice". But most cases like this won't have that - it'll be just a newbie shooting in the darkness in the wrong spot. In those cases, it needs to be the admin doing the right thing, even when no one else sees it. Do you agree or disagree that this kind of courtesy takes 15 seconds and is a good idea before deleting such pages, if this were to happen again but with no one else noticing? SnowFire (talk) 04:29, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@SnowFire: Yup, I should have moved it to begin with or copied the discussion to the user's talk page before or after originally deleting it. ✗plicit 04:39, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Johnny Contardo page

Hello. The page for Johnny Contardo was restored in February 2025, but is gone again. When I search for it, it says the page does not exist. He is still an active musician, with many fans worldwide. I'm still learning the correct way to suggest edits, and had hoped to add a few lines to bring the page up to date. Can you please advise why the page does not exist, and what can be done to restore it? H2karen (talk) 18:06, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@H2karen: Hi, you will need to discuss the matter with the closing admin for reconsideration. I am unable to revert their closure without consensus to do so. ✗plicit 03:30, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Previous WP:PROD candidate, ineligible for soft deletion."

What is a "soft" deletion? Iljhgtn (talk) 13:53, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

From Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Korenya Shingetsuan Iljhgtn (talk) 13:53, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Iljhgtn: "Soft deletion" refers to deletion that occurs when little to no participants take part of a deletion discussion. Such deletions are considered uncontroversial because they are uncontested. Pages which have previously been proposed for deletion, or otherwise failed to get a "delete" result in previous deletion discussions, are not eligible for soft deletion and must be subject to robust consensus to result in deletion of the page. ✗plicit 14:13, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. Thank you for explaining that. Iljhgtn (talk) 14:24, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well that same one has now had a few more days pass and another !vote came in for a Merge support. I think it could be closed as a "Merge" at this stage in the game. Iljhgtn (talk) 00:29, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically into Rice_cracker#Types. I concur with that merge target. Iljhgtn (talk) 00:30, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Countryhumans redirect?

Morning. Since you deleted the Countryhumans article last, I just wanted to check in with you. Now, I'm not saying I want to bring back the page, but I do want to make it redirect to Personification. Yay, or Nay?

File:Betsy Arakawa Hackman.png

Hi, I saw that you deleted this file under WP:F7. However, a discussion was recently had with no consensus to remove the fair use image. In fact, 3/4 of the comments agreed that a fair use image should be included in the page. Additionally, there is currently a second discussion ongoing about the use of a fair use file in the page. I think that speedily-deleting the file was premature and also circumvents the consensus-gaining process. I would like to request that the file be restored and re-added until a consensus is reached. Thanks, ArtemisiaGentileschiFan (talk) 00:19, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ArtemisiaGentileschiFan: Hi, this image is credited to the Associated Press and was deleted in accordance with WP:CSD#F7 as being a photo from a press agency, which must be deleted on the spot. It had nothing to do with the arguments in the discussion you linked. ✗plicit 00:35, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alright thanks, my mistake. I misunderstood and thought it was deleted under F7.C. ArtemisiaGentileschiFan (talk) 00:49, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sarah Yarkin

Hello. Perhaps due to ignorance, I didn't take the corrective action. I requested the removal of the Sarah Yarkin page because its content redirects to another page completely unrelated to the page's content. Sarah Yarkin is an actress, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022 film) this is a film she starred in. It doesn't make much sense to redirect to one of her films. It's pointless. I hope I've explained myself well; my English is still very limited. Best regards :) 83.38.176.11 (talk) 05:40, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your speedy deletion request has been declined repeatedly because you are not citing a valid speedy deletion criterion. It is not eligible for deletion using said process, so you must nominate it for discussion at WP:RFD. ✗plicit 12:00, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Striking MMA

@Explicit Why you didn't delete File:Alligator gar fillets on the grill.jpg, the file is in commons now. Does it some licensing stuff? DinhHuy2010 (talk · contribs · logs · rights · email · sandbox · links to user page · global contribs) 10:03, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@DinhHuy2010: The uploader had originally tagged the file with {{Keep local}}, making it ineligible for deletion under WP:CSD#F8. I see that she has since removed said tag, so I have deleted it the local version. ✗plicit 11:03, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Let's restart the Cricket Tasmania Premier League article with real sources

Hi! I am actually personally disappointed (I wanted to find information about clubs) about the deletion over a lack of sources of the Tasmania Cricket League article. Is it possible that it could be started again (and moved to a draft space if needed) with real sources this time and not original research? If it can be restarted, I could be the one to provide the sources and not Original research. Thank you Servite et contribuere (talk) 20:14, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done, now available at Draft:Cricket Tasmania Premier League. ✗plicit 12:48, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Explicit I'm going to notify the cricket and Tasmanian communities about this Draft to request for help from Tasmanian and Cricket experts on this issue. I might create a section for clubs Servite et contribuere (talk) 13:21, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Armen Berjikly

This article was deleted due to PROD expiring today. However shortly after you deleted it was recreated by the original article creator (who suddenly decided to be active all of a sudden). Although the content is slightly changed compared to what's shown in the archives, there is still a lack of independent in-depth sources to meet notability. Is this article eligible for CSD or we will need to go to AFD on this?

Edit: Nevermind. Someone else already AFD it here. Imcdc Contact 06:20, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My list of deletion page of vandalism

So you don't agree about deleting many pages redirected to Bali United F.C. by AldiBh?? Have you looked at his contributions? He made that many pages that already separating Putra Samarinda and Bali United history? Wira rhea (talk) 02:26, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Wira rhea: I declined the deletion of these redirects because they did not meet any of the speedy deletion criterion. The relevant place to discuss these redirects is WP:RFD. However, this is currently an active sockpuppet investigation regarding the account at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dwinug, so you may want to wait it out to not put in any unnecessary effort. If the user is blocked as a result, the pages they created will be deleted in accordance with WP:CSD#G5. ✗plicit 05:37, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Explicit: Okay then, I'll wait for the conclusion of the sockpuppet investigation. Thanks. Wira rhea (talk) 07:22, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
