[edit] Deleted in error

Everybody makes mistakes, and I may have made a mistake in deleting the page you're concerned about. Before going on, why was the page deleted? (See the deletion log to find out first.)

[edit] Speedy deletion

If the start of the deletion reason read CSD: or a letter and number (like A7, G12, etc.) then the deletion was a speedy deletion. Please go and read Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion and look for the relevant reference number. Having read that, if you still think that I was wrong to delete the page for that reason, leave me a message including the following information:

  • The exact title of the deleted page
  • The reason why you believe the deletion was not correct
  • Any references or sources to back up your claim, particularly if the deletion reason was A7

I will consider your reason and get back to you.

[edit] Proposed deletion

If the deletion reason mentions "PROD" or "proposed deletion", then you are entitled to request immediate undeletion. Please go to Wikipedia:Deletion review#Contesting_.27proposed_deletions.27 and follow the instructions. Do not make these requests on my talk page as your request will be dealt with much more quickly at the central page.

[edit] Articles for deletion

If the deletion reason includes "Articles for deletion" (or something else "for deletion"), it will link to a discussion where a consensus was formed to keep or delete an article. In such cases, I have not taken the decision to delete the article, the community has. If you think I have not followed the deletion process correctly, please go to Wikipedia:Deletion review and follow the instructions. Do not make a request on my talk page as I am only implementing the community's will.

[edit] Copyright problems

If the deletion reason includes WP:PUI, then the image's copyright status was in doubt for over two weeks. If you have a reason why this image can be used on Wikipedia, leave me a message including the following information:

  • The exact title of the deleted image
  • The free license, or fair use rationale, for using the image on Wikipedia
  • In the case of a free license, proof that the image is released under that license

I will consider your request and get back to you.

If the deletion reason includes WP:CP, "copyvio", "copyright", or similar words, then the page's copyright status was not compatible with Wikipedia. If you have a reason why the page's content can be used on Wikipedia, leave me a message including the following information:

  • The exact title of the deleted page
  • In the case of a text page, proof that the text is released under the GFDL
  • In the case of an image:
    • The free license, or fair use rationale, for using the image on Wikipedia
    • In the case of a free license, proof that the image is released under that license

I will consider your request and get back to you.

If there was some other deletion reason, please leave me a message indicating why the page should not have been deleted.
