Please restore Shaynolia page

The page that I have created "Shaynolia" was deleted for being deemed a fake and hoax. I can assure you that Shaynolia is a real micronation and it is just as real as Molossia. NewRepublicofEgypt (talk) 23:24, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting admin here: The reasons I thought it appropriate to delete the article as a hoax were:

The only result in a search was the article here.
The two images that Commons has of the flag are up for deletion with the rationale that they are fictional. The only person disagreeing is NewRepublicofEgypt. There is a request for evidence that the place exists, but none has been provided.

Note: When a place or other topic is very new, there sometimes aren't any reliable sources yet to support an article. If the place is indeed real, it might be a case of needing to wait until there are such sources. But for now I don't see any. -- Auntof6 (talk) 14:12, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please restore So Political page

“So Political” is a culturally significant, independently recognized web series that provides satire-driven civic education and commentary on East African politics and society. It has amassed a loyal following, featured prominent guests and topics of public interest, and is frequently cited in local digital media and academic conversations on youth-led political discourse. Its deletion undermines the documentation of emerging African political media and voices.” KlassikNation (talk) 13:10, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Endorse deletion. The article was written like a publicity piece. It was not in simple language. It had no references and only a minor claim of notability.

You say the series has been "independently recognized" and is "frequently cited." Recognized/cited for what? By whom? If it was for something notable, and there is a reliable source showing that, then using that as a reference might be enough to keep the article.

Things that do not establish notability:

Having a loyal following: any YouTuber's mother is probably a loyal follower
Having prominent guests: "prominent" is relative
Covering topics of public interest: that's pretty common, and what is public interest varies a lot

As for the deletion undermining anything: any article here has to show notability and have reliable sources. This article didn't do that. We delete articles for that all the time. It has nothing to do with the specific subject. -- Auntof6 (talk) 01:39, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please restore The Klassik Tribe page

The Klassik Tribe is a culturally significant collective that has received substantial, independent, and reliable media coverage in national and regional outlets. It has played a notable role in Kenya’s creative and social impact space through initiatives like The Radiance, environmental campaigns, music and arts projects, and collaborations with reputable brands and organizations. These activities and recognitions demonstrate that the group meets Wikipedia’s notability standards for music and cultural organizations. The deletion may have overlooked the depth of independent sources that verify the Tribe’s influence, relevance, and sustained public presence. We respectfully request a restoration and review in light of this verifiable evidence. KlassikNation (talk) 13:21, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Endorse deletion. Another article written like a publicity piece, in complex language and with no references. If there has been a lot of media coverage, that could show notability, but only if there are references in the article to show it. We can't evaluate sources that aren't in the article. Even the items in the External links section (which should be Other websites here) were just unlinked text. -- Auntof6 (talk) 01:45, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Endorse As Auntof6 said the article was rather promotional, and in my opinion so is your rationale here.- FusionSub (Talk page) (Contributions) 10:47, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've also just noticed your username is rather similar to the subject. If you are related to the The Klassik Tribe (e.g Paid to create a Wikipedia article for them) I'd recommend looking at WP:COI.- FusionSub (Talk page) (Contributions) 08:09, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Vijay Kanakamedala

Hello Admin,

It seems the subject has enough reputed sources from The Hindu, Deccan Chronicle, Hindustan Times, Cinema Express, The Hans India passes WP:GNG and per WP:ANYBIO, the movies that this director is known for has significant coverage, which is also cited in the articles. Request to review and restore it. 49.205.248.16 (talk) 08:44, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I quick-deleted the page under 'A4 - notability'. Searching for the name on google, I find the EnWp article (since deleted, 'A5- created by a banned or blocked user, in violation of block'), IMDB, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter/X. The first two newspapers seem to be Times of India, and Hindustan Times. Are you sure that this is notability? Eptalon (talk) 09:12, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Eptalon, Thanks for your message. Well Considering Articles in the google search, he passes WP:GNG. First two newspapers seem to be Times of India, and Hindustan Times because they may recently published and in the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 google pages we can find other sources aswell. If you see the Vijay Kanakamedala Simple wikipedia page you can see the supporting references from reliable sources. 49.205.248.16 (talk) 09:19, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Eptalon, Before the page vanished, I assumed the person deleting it would review and analyze the page and the attached sources, rather than jus checking it on google. 49.205.248.16 (talk) 08:17, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Taking a quick look at the deleted page brings me to the claim of them winning an award, which should make A4 invalid as winning an award is a claim of notability.

However, looking into the criteria and comparing the guidelines to the deleted page, I do not believe that they meet the notability criteria. As such, I believe it might be better to restore and send to RfD for a proper deletion discussion, where the notability of the subject can be properly investigated and a conclusion can be reached.- FusionSub (Talk page) (Contributions) 08:26, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@FusionSub, Thankyou for your thoughtful assessment. I support your view. sending it to Rfd would allow a proper review and community input. 49.205.248.16 (talk) 08:46, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have undeleted the page. See the RfD... Eptalon (talk) 12:03, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The page was deleted with no comments in the RFD, and now the IP is back requesting review again. I think we are going in circle, at this point we should consider keeping it deleted or restoring it through this process. Thanks,--BRP^ever 16:42, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you again @BRPever, for bringing this up. I was occupied with real-life commitments and couldn't participate in the RfD to present my points.

I kindly request the admins to review the article and the references provided. Vijay has received two awards and one nomination. His work and direction have been recognized by reputable news outlets, and several reliable sources have cited his contributions to the industry. which passes, WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO.

My intension is to not to delete genuinely notable people who would likely have an encyclopedic article now. I apologize if I made any mistakes in the process, and thank you for your understanding. 175.101.68.55 (talk) 16:57, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
overturn a quick review shows a claim of notability so A4 was invalid and the awards received are not trivial indicating that notability is there as well. The deletion on enwiki was because it was created by a blocked user and not due to lack of notability. A G-search shows a basic level of coverage in the media. fr33k man 17:15, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Fr33kman,

Thanks for your feedback. @Eptalon initially deleted the page for A4, and after it went through DRV, it was sent to RFD. Eventually, @BRPever deleted the page.

I just have a small concern—are admins not reviewing pages thoroughly before deleting them? Are we possibly lacking something in the process?

Sorry, I just wanted to express what happened throughout the process. 175.101.68.55 (talk) 17:42, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The page would have been kept if someone had commented to keep the page on deletion discussion. If there are no comments, the page is procedurally deleted.-- BRP^ever 18:17, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@BRPever - If no one comments, is it up to the admin to review and analyze the page to decide whether to delete or keep it? If someone is genuinely notable but there are no comments in the RfD, can the page still be deleted?

Also @Eptalon, if a page is tagged with A4, shouldn't we analyze the page and attached references? before deciding to delete it? Is it okay to just do a quick Google search and delete the page based on that?

Sorry if i had said anything wrong, i'm just asking. 175.101.68.55 (talk) 18:26, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
After a week of no comment that is how the process works. Any user, including the page creator can comment during the time page is up in RFD. At the end if there is no comment to keep, the page is deleted based on initial request. If there are comments, admin decides based on where the consensus is. Any closure against the general agreement would need a suitable explanation from the closing admin. Any disagreements with the closure comes to this page, where the initial decision can be overturned and the page can be restored if other users agree. It was a procedural closure.-- BRP^ever 18:48, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with BRPever, it isn't the closing admins job to review the page before closing. If that we're to happen then they would be coming up with their own opinion and that's not how closing works. If no one comments it has always been the case that it gets deleted. If people want it kept then they have to put that in the discussion area. Otherwise it defaults to delete. fr33k man 19:36, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
One other point: if an RfD is closed with no discussion, that is considered a soft delete, and the page can be restored on request, no questions asked. Another RfD can always be started if anyone wants to. Therefore I am undeleting the page. -- Auntof6 (talk) 22:14, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This section is resolved and can be archived. If you disagree, replace this template with your comment. BRP^ever 08:41, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fernando Nano Sosa

Hello. I would like to request the undeletion of the article "Fernando Nano Sosa". The page was deleted under A4, but I believe this was a mistake. The subject is a published comic artist and animator with international credits, including IMDb, Lambiek Comiclopedia, and others. There are external references, proper formatting, and interwiki links to other languages (German, Esperanto, etc.). I am willing to further improve the article if necessary. Thank you. --Pugliese3 (talk) 01:30, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
