[edit] Appeal regarding the deletion of my article...

Hi, my name is Josh Wolf and earlier this week someone learned of my encounter with the grand jury and started an article about me under the name Joshua Wolf. The log reveals much about how people decided I wasn't notable after googling my name as Joshua; however, though I don't know whether I really am particularly notable, I'm certainly much more recognized as Josh Wolf than I am Joshua.

A few notable achievements: Was an early critical voice regarding Current TV's policies -- this resulted in TIME and Salon Coverage.

My footage has also been used in several legal cases on behalf of activists who were wrongly persecuted. Thanks for your consideration... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.137.146.120 (talk • contribs) .

Hello Josh. The article that was started about you was deleted following the articles for deletion debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joshua Wolf. I didn't participate in the debate, I was simply carrying out the conclusion that was reached. If you have new information that wasn't available during the debate, or that people simply weren't aware of, that may have affected the outcome of the debate, then you can appeal the result of the debate to deletion review.
For example, if noone knew that you are better known as Josh Wolf, then they may not have found the Time or Salon coverage - if you can show a link to the coverage, then people may change their mind about whether you are notable or not. There are instructions for how to appeal a debate at the deletion review page, feel free to ask if you have any more questions. --bainer (talk) 03:19, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

--Thanks for the response, I'll go ahead and follow up on that -- is there any way for me to read the article that had been up on wikipedia about me? I'm curious how it was written... thanks... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.137.146.120 (talk • contribs) .

Just ask any of the admins listed at Category:User undeletion, and they will undelete it into your user space (out of the encyclopaedia space). However, you should probably register an account first so that you have a user space to undelete the article in to. --bainer (talk) 23:09, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Cool, I think I did all that correctly... so far it seems I've not been deemed notable -- and that's totally cool, but at the same time, the fact that the entry for "Josh Wolf" is a re-direct for the soccer star "Josh Wolff" is somewhat frustrating given the fact that if people did feel that my history is worth creating a wikipedia entry, doing so would not be a simple operation... thanks again.

Josh
