Undelete item request

Hello, I think my item(Q131842488) was deleted due to insufficient resources. Sorry, the necessary resources are there but I couldn't add it because I didn't know how to add it. How can I make up for this? --Paratonigial (talk)

CC @Lymantria There's something strange going on here. This request was added by Hsynozer but they're signing it as Paratonigial. Do you think this is a sock farm? Bovlb (talk) 21:55, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Likely so. --Lymantria (talk) 22:03, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, I had to write from this account, which I could not access the login information for. Hsynozer (talk) 22:09, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Can you explain why you're operating multiple accounts? Bovlb (talk) 22:18, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

As I mentioned, I opened a different account because I couldn't access the information of my other account. Since I opened a item from the other account, I added that username as a signature so you can understand. Since I'm new here, I didn't know that such things were very important. If you look at my history on my accounts, you can see that I don't have bad intentions. I'm sorry for that again. I'm trying to learn. Hsynozer (talk) 22:30, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

OK. I'm going to assume good faith here and undelete and merge Q131842488 and Q131450202. Please try to add claims that establish notability soon. You might find it helpful to read User:Bovlb/How to create an item on Wikidata so that it won't get deleted. Bovlb (talk) 23:13, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your interest and help. I will add the necessary information very soon. Hsynozer (talk) 23:22, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

I have added a source for the relevant occupation. I want to make sure I did it correctly. Could you please review it? I hope I did it right Hsynozer (talk) 00:17, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Undelete item request

Hi, I noticed that my item (Q131520457) was deleted. This is because it was my first item in wikidata and I dedicated myself (badly) to learn while doing it and spent days with tabs open. Before I try to create it again, or any other, can you recommend me where to learn how to properly create an item in wikidata with all its connections? --Jluismendoza (talk) 04:36, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

I have undeleted the item for you. Please try to add some claims soon.

You might find it useful to read this essay: User:Bovlb/How to create an item on Wikidata so that it won't get deleted Bovlb (talk) 04:46, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Still empty, so deleted again. Bovlb (talk) 00:35, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Undelete item request

Hi, I noticed that my item (Q131507227) was deleted. Could you please restore it? I created the page on my phone, but I realized that the mobile version of Wikidata didn’t offer the editing tools I needed. My plan was to log in from my computer to complete the edits as intended. I’m sorry for leaving the page empty for a few hours — I didn’t realize that would be an issue. Thank you for your understanding. Coinhote (talk) 20:10, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Done! Please add some claims soon. Bovlb (talk) 20:17, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Undelete item request

Q124047639 I didn't request it to be deleted. Despite his biographers being promotional or commissioned, he has many sources, as many as Q124850134 (recreation of Q111605184), that would warrant a bio if well written, and is notable according to Wikidata policy due to having a category for him in Commons. LIrala (talk) 17:17, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

It seems Q126392982 can be deleted now. But it has valid IMDb ID entry, so is she notable? LIrala (talk) 17:20, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

I deleted Q124047639 because it appeared to be a recreation of deleted items Q122271864, Q115332329, Q121725985, Q122389036, Q121307132. This means that we have already made a decision that this entity does not satisfy our notability criteria. To appeal this decision, see Wikidata: Guide to requests for undeletion. The original deleting admins were @Saroj and @MisterSynergy. Bovlb (talk) 18:49, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Oh I see. He is now president of Q124003243. LIrala (talk) 18:55, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Have you edited Wikidata under any other accounts? Bovlb (talk) 18:54, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm not the person who created these items. I found these items in Listeria lists through Wikiproyecto LGBT+ from es.wiki. LIrala (talk) 18:58, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Attention Needed

@Bovlb, please kindly check this, it's not notable for wikidata page Bagalamama (talk) 19:18, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Its notability is thin, but it does have a number of identifiers. If you thing it should be deleted, please post on WD:RFD. Bovlb (talk) 19:21, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

@Bovlb I think you understand it better than I do, so I won't bother posting it on WD:RFD. I really have much to say concerning it and how I came across this very page. But let me remain silent for now.

Deletion of Q111309835

Hi, I've seen you deleted Q111309835 for being a recreation of Q124540151, which is a redirection you created pointing to the entity you deleted. This entity is used as the director of I.D. (Q5967800). What should be done in cases like this? The options I see are restoring the deleted entity or undoing the redirect. -- Agabi10 (talk) 13:02, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

That is confusing. I'm not sure how it happened.

Should be fixed now. Apologies for the inconvenience. Bovlb (talk) 16:51, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Wikidata deleted search

Hi, Bovlb, Thanks for this tool. There seems to be a bug now, since when I login the tool says "Hello Lymantria Sorry. You do not have permission to use this tool". Lymantria (talk) 12:36, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure what's going on, but I recently added caching of permissions to improve performance. I've disabled that cache for now. Please try again. Bovlb (talk) 15:28, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

It's working fine again. --Lymantria (talk) 08:07, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Excellent.

Do you have any feedback about how the tool is working for you? I recently pushed out a few UI enhancements.

My original conception was that I was building a proof-of-concept or prototype that the WMF would take over. (See phab:T297513.) It doesn't look like that's happening. Bovlb (talk) 15:55, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

It's a fine tool. I do like the tick boxes a lot. --Lymantria (talk) 21:14, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi, again, Bovlb, Lately it seems that the tool does not function properly anymore. The last 25 times I tried to use it, it mentions "Internal Server Error. The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application". Do you know this issue and is it solvable? --Lymantria (talk) 11:55, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Try now. I think there was a corrupted cache file giving it trouble. I've purged the caches and restarted the server.

I'm actually in the middle of a complete rewrite to produce a new version of the tool that will hopefully run a bit more efficiently, but that will take me a little time. Bovlb (talk) 14:55, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

BTW, it's super-helpful to get this kind of problem report as I personally am often using a dev version of the tool instead of the main version. (I like to beta-test new versions for a few weeks before pushing them out.) Shows that I need to add some kind of automated watchdog testing, I guess. Bovlb (talk) 16:27, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Thank you, it works fine now! I will report again if the tool doesn't function. You're welcome. --Lymantria (talk) 05:24, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Please remove the block

User:Bovlb, the block you imposed on me here has seriously hindered my work on Wikipedia as I cannot access TWL while the block is in force. I will take my grievances directly to the WMF as it applies to the Justapedia Foundation and Justapedia "eternally" being referenced as a mirror or fork of Wikipedia. I can see it being a fork if/when a forked Justapedia article is added here but if it's a newly created article, then the designation is unwarranted for that article, and as it applies to the entire encyclopedia. In the interim, I will not be contributing to this site so your block is unnecessary. Atsme (talk) 22:03, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for following up. I'm not sure what you mean by "TWL" here. The block could have been lifted a week ago, but neither of you seems to have made any effort to resolve the content dispute. The point of this block is to stop both of you from edit warring and find more constructive ways to collaborate. It's not intended to be something that you just wait out so you can resume the edit war. Bovlb (talk) 22:25, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Looking at en:User_talk:Nikkimaria#Issue_w.2FTWL, I think you may be referring to The Wikipedia Library (Q16463359). I was unaware that they checked for active blocks, but that seems like a reasonable approach. It should provide additional motivation for you to do what's needed to have the block lifted. Looking at About the Wikipedia Library, I see that: "If your account is blocked on one or more Wikimedia projects, you may still be granted access to The Wikipedia Library. You will need to contact the Wikipedia Library team, who will review your blocks. If you have been blocked for content issues, most notably copyright violations, or have multiple long-term blocks, we may decline your request. Additionally, if your block status changes after being approved, you will need to request another review.". The fact that the block could have been lifted a week ago but you chose not to would probably not look good in a review. Bovlb (talk) 16:19, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Bovlb, they chose to admin shop at User talk:DannyS712. I also noticed they made personal attacks in the edit summaries on Justapedia. So I hope you don't mind that I've upgraded their block to sitewide, with those personal attacks (see their talk page for diffs) as another reason. Frankly, I was tempted to make the block indefinite with unblock contingent on a topic ban from Justapedia, but decided to defer that to their next offense.--Jasper Deng (talk) 09:09, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Undelete items request

Hi, I noticed that my item (Q131827441) was deleted. This is because it was my first item in wikidata and I dedicated myself (badly) to learn while doing it and spent days with tabs open. Before I try to create it again, or any other, can you recommend me where to learn how to properly create an item in wikidata with all its connections? Devidkelvinn (talk) 02:08, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for following up. I put a notice on your talk page that should give you more information about why Q131827441 was deleted, and how to appeal this decision. In this case, the original deleting admins were @Emu, Lymantria, Stang. Bovlb (talk) 02:22, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Undelete request – Daryl Hagler

Hi Bovlb. I'd like to request the undeletion of Q126689242. I'd also like to apologize for recreating the item, which had been deleted previously – I now have a (somewhat) better understanding of the process. As for the reason for undeletion, I believe Hagler satisfies criteria 2 and 3 of Wikidata's notability guideline. There are multiple serious references that describe Hagler, and not only in passing: [1], [2], etc. And it would fulfill a structural need, in order to add Hagler in the "board member" field to Q208489. Thanks for your assistance! IT.AT.Macaroni (talk) 14:09, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for getting in touch. I deleted this item as a recreation, so you need to contact the original deleting admin in the first instance. Daryl Hagler (Q126478666) was deleted by @Fralambert. See also Wikidata:Guide to requests for undeletion Bovlb (talk) 16:07, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

 Done Daryl Hagler (Q126478666) probably count as structural need. --Fralambert (talk) 00:50, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Request for undeletion

Hi! I was tagged because Romain Pison's article (Q125421187 ) was deleted due to it being a recreation of this Q119811435.

However, I can't get hold of the admin who deleted the original article: User talk:Renamed user f26394dcb19bd7bdad78f0d752896653 - I saw that this is Esteban16? Which unfotunately, I couldn't find them Wikidata anymore so I can't request for the article to be restored.

I did open a topic on the page. Will that be enough? Please advice. Thank you! Nabiresearcher (talk) 08:07, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

OK. I'm not sure what going on with Esteban16, but I have reviewed both items and decided to undelete and merge. Bovlb (talk) 16:37, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Atsme

Though I'm okay with a partial block now that my additional concerns of personal attacks and admin shipping don't seem to be recurring, I do recommend that they be indefinitely (rather than temporarily) partially blocked from the item as they have not reassured us they will stop the edit warring once the block expires. They have a problematic conflict of interest here and their combative attitude is still concerning. Jasper Deng (talk) 10:15, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Your points are well made. I am always cautious about uneven treatment of edit warriors, as it usually requires taking a position on the underlying content issues. I agree that there is clearly a problematic conflict of interest here. I was planning to allow some rope, to make it clear whether there would be ongoing disruption, but you may well be right that things are already clear here. Wikidata never really benefits from editors who are only interested in a single article, and for others it would not be a great hardship to be excluded from a single article. Please go ahead and act as you see fit. Bovlb (talk) 14:54, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Also, this user has some interesting history on ENWP, e.g. [4], [5], [6]. We don't sanction users for behaviour on other projects, of course, but this may give us some guidance in how best to respond here. Bovlb (talk) 16:52, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Undelete item request

Hello, I recently created the Wikidata item Q131937251, unaware that a similar item had been deleted previously. I sincerely apologize for any oversight on my part. I would like to request a review of this item for potential restoration. If the previous deletion was due to issues that can be resolved, I am more than willing to make the necessary improvements to ensure compliance with Wikidata’s guidelines. Please let me know if any adjustments or additional references are needed. Thank you for your time and consideration. I appreciate your guidance on how best to proceed. 102.85.251.99 20:04, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Q131897575

I am surprised that this article is removed, as it is a real book and well know in the founders/SaaS industries Stefanlempire (talk) 11:39, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Q131897575

We've already determined that the author (Q115127123, Wikidata:Requests_for_deletions/Archive/2023/01/19#Q115127123) is not notable and I don't see significant additional notability for this book. If it is well known, can you find any significant reviews or other coverage?

@Estopedist1, @Gymnicus: Do you see any reason to revisit this? Bovlb (talk) 16:21, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

I first had to look into what the data objects were about, it was quite some time ago. But to be honest, I don't see any change, so nothing that would justify restoring it. --Gymnicus (talk) 10:24, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

No statements

Hey Bovlb,

thanks for reaching out. Yesterday I joined WikiData. I tried to add statements, but it seems not available to me (yet). Hence it is why you saw that it was empty. Do you know what causes this? Contributornl (talk) 07:12, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

You should be able to add statements. When you look at an item, do you see a link that looks like "+ add statement"? Bovlb (talk) 17:30, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Hey Bovlb, I see that my 3 pages were removed. I did not get an update what the reason for this was. Can you clarify this for me? Contributornl (talk) 13:12, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi! It looks like you're talking about Q132560302, Q132560282, Q132533675, all of which were deleted by @Multichill as non-notable. You should contact him in the first instance, bringing any additional evidence. For more guidance, see Wikidata:Guide to requests for undeletion. Bovlb (talk) 17:14, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Bovlb. I am experiencing problems with this moderation you mentioned (the conversation). I am getting little to no reply about his deciscion and it feels like he is not open to clarify or answer questions. What can I do in this situation? I am hoping for some tips what I can do about this. Contributornl (talk) 13:01, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi! I'm sorry you're having such a frustrating time here.

I took a quick look at your items and I have to agree that they have only social media and self-published identifiers/sources. Do you have any independent sources on these items, like newspaper or magazine articles? That would help a lot, I think. If you've exhausted your appeal with the deleting admin, the next step is a final appeal on WD:AN, but I strongly recommend that you bring the best possible sources. For example, in the conversation you linked to you mention the existence of newspaper coverage, but I didn't see an actual link.

Good luck!

P.S. I fixed a typo in my comment above where I had a duplicated item number. Bovlb (talk) 14:59, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

wd-deleted broken?

[7] result in 500 Internal Server Error. GZWDer (talk) 11:28, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Seems to be working now. There was some scheduled downtime for all tools this morning. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T385885 Bovlb (talk) 15:58, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Wait. I'm misreading that. The downtime will be next Monday. I'm not sure why it was down. Was there any more to the error message? Is it working for you now? Sorry to ask the obvuious, but did you double-check that you're logged in? Bovlb (talk) 16:37, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

I got this error message yesterday and also just now (not for the first time btw), stating: "Internal Server Error // The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application." Just in case you are still interested in the exact message. After refreshing two times, it worked again. Also wanted to say this tool is really helpful, thank you for developing and maintaining it! --Dorades (talk) 10:46, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

I also experience the server failing from time to time. I think the WMF tools server gets overloaded sometimes. If that's what's happening here, then there's not much I can do about it. Bovlb (talk) 16:47, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

OK. I've found that one major source of error is that it relies on WDQS and the SPARQL queries were failing 403. This has been a problem for a while, but it was highly reproducible today. I have recoded that part of the tool to use pywikibot instead of SPARQL, so hopefully it will be more reliable now. Bovlb (talk) 21:18, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

That's great, thank you! --Dorades (talk) 21:38, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi Bovlb, I have another malfunction that I believe to be an error. While checking an item I proposed for deletion afterwards, I first used the script to search for the item in wd-deleted. Then I entered the label of the item because sometimes I find these results to be more significant. In this case, I get the error message from above (cf. https://wd-deleted.toolforge.org/search?query=UnitedDataHub&rows=10&Search=Daten+absenden). When I alter the URL to search for "test" instead, the search works properly while I still get the error message when refreshing the page with the original search term. I notice this behaviour from time to time and wondered if you know what would cause this. Regards, --Dorades (talk) 19:41, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

Sorry to be slow to respond. Busy week.

As it happens, I already had a fix for this problem in dev, so I just pulled it in production. Let me know if you see any problems. Bovlb (talk) 23:07, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

No worries! That's great, thanks a lot. --Dorades (talk) 18:47, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

Q131578539

Hi Bovlb,

I personally do hate SEO, but Third Door Media is still linked from Semrush (Q48818116) and has been one of the larger SEO platforms in the US (https://auris-finance.fr/en/semrush-takes-over-third-door-media/).

Therefore please restore it.-- Antifaschistische Frontschule (talk) 14:06, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

While I am sympathetic to the argument, this was deleted as a recreation of Q115786223, so @BRPever should be your first stop. Bovlb (talk) 16:51, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

CU

Hi, Bovlb, I notice that you often block users for abusing multiple accounts without filing CU-requests. I can imagine that in some cases it is worth filing such a request, like perhaps this one. It is of course not useful if the accounts but one are stale. Kind regards, Lymantria (talk) 09:40, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

To be quite honest, I find the CU process too slow and uncertain to be useful when I already have enough behavioural evidence to act. I would certainly seek CU help in the event of an appeal. I sometimes make CU reports just for the record if I know there is already a report for the LTA. What benefit do you anticipate from filing additional requests? Are you suggesting that I should hold off on acting on behavioural evidence until a CU investigation is completed? Bovlb (talk) 19:38, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

I understand the slowness argument you are using, and behavioural evidence can certainly be enough to block users. It is in no way my intention to ask you to hold off on acting. My intention to be quicker in response to CU requests than we were used to (no offense to anybody). You are asking for benefits. There can for instance be benefit to let a CU be done when you find a (relatively) new group of socks, to get by CU a bigger picture of a group of socks and sleepers. And of course it is a good case to file a CU request when you have behavioural evidence, but not convincing enough to act. Of course, it is up to you. --Lymantria (talk) 20:20, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

One CU issue that has been bothering me lately: I am continually seeing new users adding large numbers of items with DDB person (GND) ID (P13049) that are recreations of items previously mass-deleted. Are these all the same person coming back again and again? Are many people choosing to complete our catalogue of that property? Should we be blocking? Should we be mass-deleting? The items seem at least as notable as most of what is created. Bovlb (talk) 23:05, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

I think you are referring to a well known globally banned user of whom many socks have been detected? --Lymantria (talk) 17:42, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Yes. I'm working on a project to detect recreations of previously-deleted items, but these new accounts pop up and create thousands of items, and it's swamping my tool. Bovlb (talk) 21:36, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Ah, I understand, that is unfortunate. --Lymantria (talk) 11:17, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

RE Wikidata:Requests_for_deletions/Archive/2025/03/25#Q133498953

I just tried it again, using the search string "Koupel-ID" without modifying any of the default settings. I still get: "Sorry. No results." Thought you may be interested in this matter. Best regards, Dorades (talk) 10:51, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Now I understand. I was searching for "Q133498953", which at the time yielded Q127501483 as the first result. It does look like searching for "Koupel-ID" produces no results, but "Koupel ID" produces both items, plus a third related item Q127500847. I think this is an inconsistency in the way punctuation is handled between the indexing side and the query side. I'll put it on my list to look at. Thanks for reporting. Bovlb (talk) 16:46, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Interesting, didn't know that it's possible (or: useful) to search for the item number. Is this functionality accessible only for admins? I get only Q133498953 as result when searching "Q133498953". --Dorades (talk) 19:41, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Unfortunately, it only works properly for non-deleted items. In theory it should be possible to make it work for deleted items, but that hasn't been a priority.

Request for Removal of Unauthorised Wikidata Items Created Without Consent

I dont know about you but some of the comments left by Imdowaiskhan on the project chat could likely be interpreted by other editors as an possible legal threat

"Inaccurate or misleading information about a living person may also raise concerns under U.S. privacy and defamation laws, including principles derived from Tort Law (False Light, Defamation) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which emphasizes the right to accurate and transparent personal data" Trade (talk) 02:03, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

I agree to some extent, but privacy and defamation concerns are valid deletion reasons. They're not valid undeletion reasons, which is what makes the whole thing so bizarre. I see no reason to give a legal warning here, as I've already told them to drop these arguments, but here is a message I like to use if you want to use it:

== Legal threat ==

Your recent edits may give other editors the impression that you are considering legal or other off-wiki action against them. We strongly discourage editors from doing this because of the disruptive effect it has on the project. It is also unproductive from your perspective, as it makes other volunteers less inclined to assist you. When communicating here, please focus on making arguments in line with project policies and leave out the off-wiki stuff.

Bovlb (talk) 02:36, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

Is there anything in the deleted items that remotely could be construed as privacy or defamation concerns? Trade (talk) 02:37, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

I don't think so, but it doesn't really matter. I think the main point of the legal bluster was to set up the claim that those items were unauthorized, under the mistaken impression that this would mean that they should then be permitted to create a new item that they could then control. Hence the argument that they were being punished for the actions of others. None of these are a true understanding of how things work here, so we don't need to determine if the deleted items contained inaccuracies and defamation or whether or not those items were created by the same person.

Request for Undeletion of Item Q135397201

Hello Bovlb,

I am requesting the restoration of my Wikidata item (Q135397201), which was recently deleted. It appears that the deletion was due to it being considered a recreation of previously deleted items (Q135193066 and Q135268107). However, I believe the decision was made without fully considering the reliable sources that substantiate my notability. I kindly ask you to reconsider the deletion based on the following evidence.

1. Evidence of Notability:

I am a recognized public speaker, coach, and advocate, particularly for those affected by Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The following sources provide strong evidence of my notability:

Book: "MS Doesn’t Define ME

I authored this biography, which is available on Amazon. The book highlights my personal journey and the significant impact I've had on others.

• MS Doesn’t Define ME on Amazon

Public Speaking:

I have been a featured speaker at numerous events, such as Speaker Slam, where I shared my journey of living with MS. I have also been featured in several media outlets.

• Grand Forks Advocate Article
• TEDx Podcast - Fearless with MS
• Trail Times - Mobility Mindset Shift
• Canadian SME Article

Social Media & Online Presence:

I have a significant presence on social media, with thousands of followers who support my public image and advocacy work.

• Facebook - Patti Bevilacqua
• LinkedIn
• Instagram - Fearless with MS
• Official Facebook
• Instagram - Official

Empowering Women and Coaching:

I am also a transformational coach and advocate for women’s leadership. My coaching work is widely recognized and often featured in articles.

• WriteUpCafe - Empowering Women

2. Request for Undeletion:

Given the substantial evidence above—including published books, media coverage, social media presence, and my advocacy work—I respectfully request the restoration of my item. These sources clearly demonstrate that I meet Wikidata's notability criteria.

3. Conclusion:

Thank you for your time and consideration in reviewing this request. I kindly ask you to reconsider the deletion and restore my item to Wikidata.

Sincerely, Patti Bevilacqua (User:Patti_Bevilacqua)

(User:Patti_Bevilacqua) Patti Bevilacqua (talk) 01:11, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for following up.

I have reviewed the deletion of Q135397201 and can confirm that it was definitely a recreation of a previously-deleted item, so my deletion was not in error. If you wish, you may appeal the original deletion with the original deleting admin, WikiBayer. See the link I gave you before on how to do this.

Also, it appears that you are trying to create an item about yourself, which is something we do not encourage, as our experience has been that people tend to be poor judges of whether they are themselves notable.

Request about Q135252912

Hi @Bovlb,

I contact you about Q135252912. This is indeed a recreation of an item. The first one was made by an acquaintance who wanted to showcase various works and make use of my studies carried out in my field of expertise. He thought he was doing the right thing and didn't create an account.

In order to do things properly, I recreated an account (in my name). I didn't know that I had to take over the old item. I completed my profile with sources (ORCID, Zenodo...) to reinforce Wikidata's notability criteria.

Should I contact @Ymblanter directly, even if an unidentified account created the first item?

Thanks for your help Blot.antoine (talk) 04:56, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

Yes, you have to contact @Ymblanter, who made the determination that this entity is not notable. See Wikidata:Guide to requests for undeletion.

Dear Bovlb,

I kindly reach out to you regarding the deletion of Q135403311 and its recreation Q135413905.

I fully understand and respect Wikidata’s notability criteria. However, I’ve prepared a thoroughly documented dossier to prove that the subject—myself, as a registered Mexican visual artist and creative director known as "ojolo"—meets those standards in multiple ways.

The document includes: - Legal trademark registration (IMPI, since 2012) - Government-recognized cultural contributions - Publication in national art magazines (Este País) - International exhibitions and commercial art sales - Documentary and video evidence of curated events - Media presence and festival participation (FilmFreeway) - Verified social presence and institutional invitations - Donor record and long-time contributor to Wikipedia itself

📄 Full dossier in my drive (PDF): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HxlAqcDsXTnCMXU4_foLScpV-L758vJC/view?usp=sharing

I ask you to kindly reconsider the deletion or guide me through the proper steps for formal restoration.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I truly appreciate the work you do, and I’m open to clarifying any part of the dossier if needed.

Undelete item request

Hello, I would like to respectfully request the undeletion of Q135440089, which I created after having previously asked for deletion of earlier items myself (Q135429797 and Q135435949).

At the time of those deletions, I was still unfamiliar with Wikidata’s notability policies and did not understand the implications of deletion. I have since studied the guidelines thoroughly.

This new item (**Q135440089**) was **not a direct recreation**, but a fresh entry made after ensuring that: - The subject now **meets notability requirements** under [Wikidata:Notability](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Notability) - I can provide **independent, reliable sources** that describe the subject in a meaningful way - The new version reflects policy compliance, unlike the earlier drafts

I understand that recreating previously deleted items is discouraged. However, per the [Guide to requests for undeletion](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Guide_to_requests_for_undeletion), if **new evidence or changed circumstances** are present — such as improved understanding and the addition of valid sources — reconsideration is possible.

• • In summary:**

- The item was deleted automatically due to its connection to prior entries I myself requested to be removed out of caution. - The new version was constructed with much more care and policy awareness. - I would appreciate a review of this specific version (**Q135440089**) on its own merits.

If there are any concerns or suggestions for improvement, I’d be very grateful for guidance.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Mathijs van Abel (talk) 21:22, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Q135429797 and Q135435949 were both deleted as non-notable, not as author request. You need to take that up with the original deleting admins (CCed above) in the first instance.

I have reviewed the references on Q135440089 and found them to be a mixture of social media links and pages that do not appear to mention the subject. I reviewed the identifiers on Q135440089 and found a mixture of social media identifiers and identifiers that did not appear to be for the subject. This does not establish notability.

From your username and your singular focus, you appear to be trying to create an item about yourself, which we strongly discourage. Our experience is that people are often not good judges about whether they themselves are notable.

Hi Bovlb, could you undelete the item Q131507227 ?? This item has been deleted because someone else created a new item for the same figure but with a different name, as the artist changed his stage name during his career. The created item with the old stage name was Q131567301, which didn't even have sources to be added, so that's why it was deleted, but the main item used was Q131507227. As you can see, they have different names, but it's the same figure. Thank you! Have a nice day. Sabotage2000 (talk) 21:23, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

CC @Lymantria as deleting admin.

I don't fully understand what story the OP is telling here, but it doesn't seem crystal clear to me that Q131507227 and Q131567301 identify the same entity.

Looking at Q131507227, I'm not seeing a lot of notability established here. I'm also seeing fake references, which is always a red flag.

I also see creation and maintenance by blocked users, raising the question of block evasion here. Bovlb (talk) 21:40, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Also noting the existence of commons:Category:URIEL BRG, which was a sitelink on the deleted item. Bovlb (talk) 21:43, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi Bovlb, could you please tell me exactly what fake references? Because I remembered that his page had been attacked and massively edited by multiple accounts, so I'm not sure if the item was edited before its deletion. I cannot see any history of edits.

-

Also, his old stage name has no reliable sources for sure—that's why the page was deleted, but you can still find his birthday date on the Famous Birthdays website by searching for his old name: https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/uriel-bromberg.html

And his birthplace can be verified on his IMDb page: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm17054085/bio/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm

Besides that, from what I remember, this item used to list some of his official pages on the web, such as official website, social media ... things that can be easily trusted as real statements. Sabotage2000 (talk) 23:37, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Three claims had a reference imported from Wikimedia project (P143) English Wikipedia (Q328) but there is no sign that this items ever had an associated article. That's a massive red flag. It looks like these were added by  Coinhote. Bovlb (talk) 23:47, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Oohh I see. That's definitely a red flag, but at least this information was true, but I guess it was added this way because the user copied from similar items. I see a lot of users committing this error. Sabotage2000 (talk) 23:55, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Do you think that this item can be undeleted and fixed? Sabotage2000 (talk) 00:04, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

Just in case you haven't seen it, you should read Wikidata:Guide to requests for undeletion.

Let's give Lymantria a chance to respond. Bovlb (talk) 03:17, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

Thank you so much! And yes, I read that. In this case, the subject does have reliable sources and a common category to be linked, but the user who added those statements has not linked those sources properly or has copied those statements from a similar item. Not just that, some other users have created another item for the same entity using an old stage name. Lymantria hasn't responded yet, so I guess I will need to leave a message on Lymantria's talk page. Sabotage2000 (talk) 05:59, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

As you can see from my user talk, I am in the last day of my vacation, having hardly any internet connection. I found a spot to view the item again. IMHO it doesn't have any strong source, neither does the commons category be enough to yield notability. I changed the deletion reason accordingly. --Lymantria (talk) 15:55, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

@Sabotage2000 The deleting admin has declined your undeletion request. You next step is to appeal to the community. You should reference User_talk:Bovlb#Page_deleted_due_to_duplicated_item this discussion. Bovlb (talk) 16:58, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi there, wishing you a good time!

And ok then, as I know the artist is very popular in Brazil, and besides having millions of followers, if there are no strong sources covering his personal life, then I don't have enough arguments to appeal this decision. Maybe if he gets more press, then eventually his item will be undeleted or recreated.

I think that this is the main problem of most influencers and musicians nowadays. Thank you for your time, though! Sabotage2000 (talk) 04:28, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

Request to add image to Kingsley Ng Kah Hou (Q128033898)

Hi Bovlb,

Thank you again for creating the Wikidata item for Kingsley Ng Kah Hou (Q128033898).

There is now a suitable portrait available on Wikimedia Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kingsley_Ng_in_suit_2025.jpg

If you feel the image is appropriate, would you be willing to help by adding it as the P18 (image) property of the item?

I’m reaching out here rather than editing directly to avoid any conflict of interest, and to respect the neutrality guidelines of the project.

Your help would be sincerely appreciated. Thank you again!

Request: Assistance with Wikidata updates Kingsley Ng Kah Hou (Q128033898)

Hi Bovlb,

Thank you again for your kind help earlier with the Wikidata item for Kingsley Ng Kah Hou (Q128033898). Your assistance was invaluable in making sure the entry is correctly set up.

If you have a moment, may I please ask for your further assistance in updating and expanding the item:

• English Description: Malaysian actor and model

• Chinese Label: 金帝 Also known as: 吴金帝, 吴家豪, 家豪

• Malay Label: Kingsley Ng Kah Hou Description: Pelakon dan model lelaki Malaysia Also known as: Kingsley Ng, Ng Kah Hou

• IMDb Add: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm17594605

I’m refraining from making these edits myself to avoid any conflict of interest, and to respect Wikidata’s neutrality guidelines. Your help would be sincerely appreciated.

Additionally, since there are now multiple reliable sources available (including Chinese Wikipedia, Wikidata, IMDb, and media coverage such as award announcements), I was wondering if you might kindly consider whether it would now be appropriate to create an English Wikipedia article for Kingsley Ng Kah Hou.

Of course, I completely understand that article creation is at the discretion of experienced editors and community consensus. I only raise this as a respectful request for consideration.

Thank you once again for your support and contributions.

Best regards, Louis Louisskp (talk) 17:05, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for taking such care to avoid a conflict of interest. I think that for edits like this you would probably be safe to make them yourself, but see Wikidata:Autobiography for details of our policy on this. Bovlb (talk) 19:44, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

Request To Undelete Q135667147

Hello Bovlb, the page Q135667147 was deleted because it was related to past pages that have been deleted. However, if you research the person the page is about he is clearly relevant and qualified for a Wikidata page. You can take a look at the reason for the past items being deleted and see that it had nothing to do with the person himself but rather suspicion around whoever made it the first time.

Thank you. 2600:1011:B361:8549:1577:9668:AE03:DA29 00:44, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

Request for undeletion of item Q135915861 / Q135917469

Hi Bovlb, Thank you for your note and for explaining the concern about notability. I understand the rules against recreating deleted items, and I will not do so again without going through the proper process.

I would like to request reconsideration of the deletion of the item on Lucy Adegbe (Q135915861 / Q135917469). Lucy has independent coverage and contributions that appear to meet Wikidata’s notability criteria, particularly the requirement for significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. For example: https://www.investopedia.com/lucy-adegbe-5222190

Given that Investopedia is a well-established and independent financial publication, I believe this demonstrates that Lucy has sufficient notability beyond her role at eCheckcasinos.ca.

Could you please advise on whether it would be possible to undelete the item, or how best to present these sources at Wikidata:Requests for undeletion so that the case can be properly reviewed?

Thanks for your time and guidance. Kristoffernilsson11 (talk) 05:23, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

You should read the guide I gave you a link to. I don't think the item is noteworthy. Investopedia is not considered to be a reliable source, and that link is more like a user bio than anything that would establish notability. Anyway, my advice to you is to first read the guide I linked to, and then contact @Addshore in the first instance as the deleting admin. Bovlb (talk) 05:31, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

I agree with @Bovlb here. Every profile of a person on any website does not make them notable. I would be happy to undelete the item / items if you do manage to find some other sources (independent and serious) that describe the topic.

Potential BLP issue

I found an item whose unmarried partner (P451) states that the subject is in a relationship. The problem is that the value of unmarried partner (P451) belongs to a relative of the subject

Normally i would have removed it as defamatory. However the P451 comes with a reference so i am unsure if removing is the correct thing to do. The reference itself looks legit as far as i can tell Trade (talk) 23:46, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

Um, I think I'd need more information, and defamatory claims for BLPs need strong support, but if it's properly referenced then we should probably keep it. Bovlb (talk) 00:03, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Emailed you more info Trade (talk) 00:31, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Well, the FAQ seems pretty clear. The only question I would have is that some sources describe that as a role-play persona. If so, this still describes the persona, but should perhaps not be linked to the real-life name. Bovlb (talk) 00:45, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

I would not put much weight on those sources. It's an assertation one can make on any sexual lifestyle they read about online which can neither can be proven nor disproven Trade (talk) 00:57, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Right, but it's hard to separate the claim that it is a persona from the claim that associates the persona with a real-life identity. Bovlb (talk) 02:39, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Request for undeletion of Q136226143 (Alex Camarena Burdier)

Dear Bovlb, I understand that Q136226143 was deleted as a recreation of Q136031304, and that the entity was deemed non-notable. I respectfully request a reconsideration based on new evidence of notability.Since the original deletion, I have:• Claimed my Google Knowledge Panel (entity ID: `/g/11h_xblfx7`) • Created a verified IMDb profile: https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm17681109/overview • Established a public portfolio: https://alexcamarenaburdier.com • Been listed on Crunchbase, Medium, and YouTube with consistent identity references These sources are independent, publicly accessible, and reflect my professional identity across multiple domains. I believe they meet Wikidata’s notability criteria under Wikidata:Notability.I am happy to recreate the item with constraint-compliant statements and references if restoration is approved. Thank you for your consideration. AlexCamarenaBurdier (talk) 22:36, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

Undelete item request

Hello, I am new at this and got called away as I was setting up Q136350290 before I was able to complete it and it was deleted. I thought part of the reason was because of the user name I chose which was close to the topic, so I created a new account and then created Q136357020 with recourse links and full information. It was deleted again noting it seemed to be recreation of the one that was deleted the day before. It was a recreation of that with full information including references because I was not aware of a way to go back and finish that one. I apologize, I'm trying to learn this process. If the information was correct and it was deleted because I accidentally duplicated it, is there a way to merge them? Tram9980 (talk) 11:06, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

Beste moderatoren,

Enige tijd geleden is mijn Wikidata item verwijderd wegens onvoldoende relevantie. Ik begrijp en respecteer die beslissing destijds was er inderdaad beperkte onafhankelijke documentatie over mijn activiteiten.

Inmiddels is de situatie inhoudelijk veranderd en bestaat er aantoonbare, onafhankelijke en betrouwbare bronvermelding over mij als publieke figuur. In de afgelopen maand ben ik opgenomen in meerdere journalistieke publicaties en regionale nieuwsmedia, waaronder:

• Een artikel en tv item van DTV (onafhankelijke regionale omroep)
• Een verschijning bij Omroep Brabant
• Een artikel in een regionale krant

Deze bronnen zijn redacteur gestuurd, onafhankelijk en voldoen aan de richtlijnen voor verifieerbare bronnen zoals beschreven in de Wikidata en Wikipedia relevantiecriteria voor publieke personen.

Op basis hiervan wil ik graag vragen of mijn Wikidata item opnieuw kan worden beoordeeld, of dat er ruimte is om een nieuw item aan te maken dat voldoet aan de eisen voor notability en verifieerbaarheid. Uiteraard lever ik alle benodigde referenties en koppelingen aan nieuwsartikelen aan wanneer gewenst.

If the earlier draft version caused a duplicate, please feel free to keep the old version deleted.  

I only ask to restore the correct, fully sourced version of the item.

The organization is real and verifiable in the official government registry:

Official website:

This is not self-promotion — the company has official legal registration, which is the strongest possible evidence of notability.

You need to take this up with the original deleting admin in the first instance. (Please let us know how the documentation could make this more clear.) I recommend that you bring actual evidence of notability, not just official website and company registration.

Regarding self-promotion, see WD:SELF. Bovlb (talk) 15:21, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

As already mentioned, restoring the Item is not possible at this time. Sources definitely required. WikiBayer (talk) 18:01, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

Q136687757

I feel like he might be notable by virtue of being a reality television participant on Family Feud. I dont really care about all the other stuff Trade (talk) 01:31, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

I haven't seen any solid documentation that someone known as "E Lion" ever appeared on Family Feud. Being a game show contestant doesn't usually make you notable, and while winning "the grand prize" might, for us it's more about the sources. Those sources don't tell you anything about "E Lion" and don't really act as sources for "Eric", if they're supposed to be the same person.

I prefer to leave these borderline calls to others. Bovlb (talk) 03:54, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

"E. Lion" could plausibly be an alter ego Trade (talk) 22:00, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

Yes, quite plausibly. But unattested. Bovlb (talk) 22:08, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

It is not unattested, look at this screenshot https://www.elionmusic.com/articles/verified.png LOOK ON GOOGLE. and look at https://www.Elionmusic.com/wiki I had to recreate this on my own page because of this, restore my page, leave it alone, you can help edit it if you want but do not delete it again ~2025-39358-21 (talk) 03:27, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137263330 this was the new page that was just deleted. I did everything correctly, except for maybe the part of competition won I don't know exactly how to do it properly, please HELP me instead of hurting my google knowledge panel. This is absolutely ridiculous I have put all the verified information on this, including articles, you said you didnt see E Lion there so I put my legal name and E Lion as alias, restore the page, please leave this one alone, there is no reason for you to keep deleting it other than discrimination I qualify for a wikidata page I have a google knowledge panel, over 100 songs released and won the grand prize on family feud with over 300,000,000 viewers total, if I'm not notable then delete everyone else. The only reason you had for removing it was because E LION wasn't (and it is associated with I uploaded a verified image on google referring to me Eric as E Lion. I'm sick of this you are ruining Wikidata and the Knowledge Panel isnt pulling my latest songs because of this. ~2025-39358-21 (talk) 03:34, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

I apologize for getting upset, rather, I am wondering, is it because I put Christian Music? It's hard sometimes not to think people are discriminating because of that, and if not, here's the verifiable proof if you google it even the Google AI knows https://www.elionmusic.com/articles/verified.png - https://www.Elionmusic.com/wiki I had to recreate this on my own website because of this. I made the page here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137263330 showing my full name, the proof E Lion is associated with me is on all of my major profiles and google. This is in no way self-promotion, Google Knowledge panel directly pulls from Wikidata. I appreciate your concern and oversight on this as someone could have impersonated me, however I am the person in the many articles about this. You can see more at https://www.elionmusic.com/wiki here is my knowledge panel on googe: https://www.elionmusic.com/articles/screenshot1.jpg - you are doing a service if you restore the page - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137263330 if I need to put in the description and title Winner of Family Feud Grand Prize that's fine as well, is there any way you can help me edit it to perfection? The fact that someone posted here in my favor says a lot. In order to show people accurate information on my knowledge panel it's important that this page is accurate, you may not care that I'm a published author and have hundreds of songs out, but the television show and my 5 episodes I was on had over 300,000,000 viewers. I created a page with my full name and Alias E Lion. If there is any more sources you would like me to provide I will. Thank you ahead of time for restoring the page so that accurate information is pulled into the knowledge panel I provided a screenshot of; you can google E Lion Musician and see it yourself. ~2025-39446-26 (talk) 05:38, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

In regards to the news mentioning me as a rapper/musician https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNpNYzvDUwI https://www.khon2.com/news/hawaii-kai-family-brings-aloha-spirit-to-family-feud/ "Their advice for getting picked to be on the show is to have fun in your audition video, shoot a lot of takes, and make sure you have a good editor. (Son Eric believes his rapping helped too!)" ~2025-39446-26 (talk) 05:48, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

I think you are misunderstanding the situation here. Here are the two key points.

• Your item was assessed for notability and deleted. You appealed and your appeal was declined. Attempts to recreate the item are not a step on the path to getting it restored, and will meet with more deletions. The door to another appeal is not closed, but you would need to present a strong argument and substantive new information.
• You have been blocked. You are not allowed to edit Wikidata. Creating new accounts will lead to more blocks. You should consult a lawyer before attempting to access Wikidata again, as unauthorised use of a computer system may be a crime in your jurisdiction. You may appeal this block. See Wikidata:Guide to appealing blocks.

Also, this is unarguably self-promotion, and we are not responsible for Google Knowledge Panels. Bovlb (talk) 18:06, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

Are you talking about posting here? What is being misunderstood? There was no appeal or denial, the guy posted above saying that it should be there due to winning the grand prize and you said you prefer to let others decide these 'borderline' cases. Google pulls from here for the knowledge panel and other places but primarily here. You yourself said you wanted another to deal with this borderline case and they did post in my favor. I provided all of the verified sources proving notability. ~2025-39358-21 (talk) 22:15, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

Hypothetical question

If someone made a section on the AN complaining about another user's use of LLM in talk page discussions after repeatedly being asked not to, how would you respond? Since you dont believe that LLM usage should be against policy

Would you intervene if the user got blocked by another admin for their LLM usage? Trade (talk) 08:34, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Users are responsible for the content they post, regardless of how they produced it. If someone posts walls of text that are repetitive, misrepresent policy, fail to address points raised, or otherwise derail discussion, then that is disruptive. If the disruptive pattern continues after clear warnings, sanctions are a natural consequence.

A separate issue that we have seen a lot recently is an asymmetry of effort. It is very quick to use an LLM to generate a long, plausible-looking piece of text, but far slower for others to read and respond to it. That imbalance can be disruptive, especially if the user is then unable to engage meaningfully with responses.

At the same time, a great deal of LLM usage is invisible and unobjectionable: I suspect that many people use them to draft or clarify ideas, and the results go unnoticed. This is why I focus on behaviour rather than the tool. A blanket ban on LLM usage would be unenforceable and would inevitably penalize good-faith editors alongside the handful who misuse it. Blocks should be reserved for preventing actual disruption, not because you deduce someone used an LLM. Bovlb (talk) 16:37, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

As a middle ground, I was toying with the idea of a standard response:

Before others spend time responding in detail, could you please confirm that you personally stand behind this text and will read and engage with replies?

or:

Could you summarise the main point of your request in one sentence?

Response to comment in my talk page

Hi @Bovlb I read your message but I cannot response to it there, strange. I added the comment manually there, and I reproduce the message here in case the tag I put in my talkpage does not work.

Hi, thank you for your information. Perpustakaan Mansinam is a public library located in the Island of Mansinam. It is notable since it represent one solid concept recorded in Indonesian national library database. It does not have its own designated URI, however you could search manually in the search bar with keyword “PERPUSTAKAAN MANSINAM” to verify its existence. I have added this to the reference. Thank you. Hisyam (WMID) (talk) 03:30, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

Apologies and Questions

I tried to reply to my discussion page, but it said it might have been deleted and no reply was made, so I'm replying here. First of all, I'm truly sorry. It seems I misunderstood when creating Wikidata. Since you said it's okay to ask questions, I have one question. If I create a page for Gol Airlines Flight 1674 on the English Wikipedia, is it okay to create a Wikidata page to link it to the Japanese Wikipedia? Once again, I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience.A2198useuser (talk) 03:17, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

I don't know why you would be unable to reply on your own talk page. You ought to be able to just click on "Reply".

It's fine to create pages to link to Wikipedia articles (after you check that one doesn't already exist, of course). I deleted your page because you created it and just left it empty with no sitelinks or claims. Bovlb (talk) 03:35, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

This comment was not found on this page, but it exists on the following page: It said that your comment was there, but even after clicking reply, it could not be sent. Thank you for deleting it.A2198useuser (talk) 04:06, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

Appeal regarding deletion of Q137322904 (A.P. Rossellot'h)

Hello Bovlb.

I am contacting you regarding the deletion of "A.P. Rossellot'h" (Q137322904) and the book "Las puertas del abismo", marked as "recreation of earlier deleted item".

I understand the deletion was based on a previous decision regarding notability. However, I have compiled new, verifiable evidence that was not present in the original version and clearly satisfies Wikidata's Notability criteria (specifically having a reliable source and a bibliographic authority record):

1. PRESS COVERAGE: The author and book are featured in a dedicated article by "Cadena 3" (major Argentine news network):

https://www.cadena3.com/noticia/libros/las-puertas-del-abismo-relatos-de-horror-cosmico-en-la-tradicion-lovecraftiana_495774

2. GOOGLE BOOKS AUTHORITY: The book is now indexed in Google Books with a full official record, ID, and text preview (verifying content existence):

- Link: https://books.google.es/books?id=ScqeEQAAQBAJ

- ID: ScqeEQAAQBAJ

Could you please review this new evidence and consider undeleting the item so I can properly add these references?

Thank you for your time. CosmicLibrarian (talk) 09:00, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

Your notification about notability in my page

I see that you says that book in my item is not notable cause as far as I know all the item is connected in wikisource and the book is public domain book and it's needed to fill information for the page. What's lacking that made you says is notable? Agus Damanik (talk) 02:23, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Paid disclosure link

I think the link on all the templates at Template:Uw-notability/text for the paid disclosure requirement should be changed from

• foundation:Terms of use#4. Refraining from Certain Activities to
• foundation:Policy:Terms of use#paid-contrib-disclosure

This anchor takes the reader to a more precise section of the page. Further, the same anchor is provided on every page language, so you could use foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of use#paid-contrib-disclosure, which would be especially useful for the non-English versions.
