Pictures Deleted?

I recently uploaded 2 pictures that you then moved to the delete log, and I’m not sure why. Both of the are from a public website of a public university, UL. Wouldn’t that make them free content? What is needed to allow these to be published? Thanks. Frank042316 (talk) 15:54, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

@Frank042316: I guess you're referring to File:DOL Property.png and File:OLOL Acregae.png. At the upload form, you must have indicated a licensing restriction, like noncommercial use or no derivatives, as these were automatically tagged for speedy deletion in accordance with WP:CSD#F3. What are the source links for these images? ✗plicit 00:56, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

they are from the universities web page, and were used to nnou de the purchase of the 2 pieces of property, so very much in the public domain. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frank042316 (talk • contribs) 10:02, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

@Frank042316: Being available on the university's webpage does not mean the files are in the public domain, unless it explicitly states so. Can you provide links to determine the copyright status of these two files? ✗plicit 11:34, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Sure:

Freestyle music

Freestyle, or Latin freestyle (initially called Latin hip hop) is a form of electronic dance music that emerged in the New York metropolitan area, Boston, Philadelphia, and Miami, primarily among Hispanic Americans, Irish Americans and Italian Americans in the 1980s. It experienced its greatest popularity from the late 1980s until the early 1990s. A common theme of freestyle lyricism originated as heartbreak in an urban environment typified by New York City. 50.29.112.115 (talk) 03:32, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

A misplaced file (commons/enwiki)

A confused new user has recently uploaded this obviously non-free logo to Commons. They clearly meant to upload it to enwiki, as an updated version of this file that you have recently correctly deleted as unused. Since you, the deleting admin, are conveniently an admin both here and on Commons, would you mind fixing this little mess? It seems to be as simple as deleting the non-free file from Commons, restoring our outdated local version, and then updating that outdated local version with the file that's on Commons right now. Thanks. 78.28.44.127 (talk) 03:50, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I have deleted the Commons file and restored the local file with the recent logo. ✗plicit 06:17, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

File:Ramesh Panigrahi.jpg

Hi Explicit. Could you take a look at File:Ramesh Panigrahi.jpg? I can't tell whether it's a reupload of the same file you deleted the other day per F4 or whether it's a different image with the same file name. The uploader is the same person so I'm thinking the image also has F4 and F11 issues even if it's a new image. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:57, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: Hi, it's a different picture from the deleted version. A bot has already tagged it for lacking a source. ✗plicit 06:17, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for checking on this. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:23, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Deletion Review for File:BigMacButton1975.png

You have deleted File:BigMacButton1975.png without any discussion having taken place. I have posted a delete review request. Please restore this image until an actual discussion & review have occurred. Christopher Rath (talk) 15:08, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

File:The Computer Book (BBC 1982).jpg

Hi,

I only got back to editing Wikipedia today, and read the file talk page a little earlier. It was only later in the day that I have time to do some editing and was planning to convert the deletion request to an FFD as the uploader (User:Jheald) was quite passionate in his defence of the image. Would you be willing to restore so I can take it to FFD? -- Whpq (talk) 00:43, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

@Whpq: Very well, I have restored the file. ✗plicit 00:45, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks -- Whpq (talk) 00:48, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

File:Bokontayev.jpg

Hi Explicit. Can you take a look at File:Bokontayev.jpg? This is another file that you've previously deleted twice before (once per F4 and once per F11) that could be a reupload or a new file with the same name. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:49, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Happy Holidays!

You Deleted a Page but it's still online.

@Explicit I was going to nominate a page for deletion but discovered it had been nominated in the past and ended as delete. I am surprised that the page (this page) is still online. What's happening? Joseph4real1995 (talk) 12:37, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

(talk page watcher)@Joseph4real1995: It appears the article was recreated per User talk:Reading Beans/Archives/2024/October#Speedy deletion nomination of Oyebanji Akins. There appears to have been a disagreement as to whether WP:G4 applied to the recreation. I can't see the original article that was deleted, but Explicit can. I'm sure Explicit will figure out whether the article needs to go to AfD again or meets the criteria for G4. -- Marchjuly (talk) 14:35, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Bathwala

Deleted PROD - please could you let me have the text of the deleted article here, as I think I have sources to warrant keeping it? Thanks, Ingratis (talk) 05:00, 1 January 2025 (UTC) andHappy New Year! Ingratis (talk) 05:01, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Please don't trouble - the same text, such as it is, is on the Punjabi Wiki. Ingratis (talk) 18:19, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Prod on Wordhunt

Hi Explicit -- Liz suggested that I look at recently deleted prods because there was a bulge in numbers and we were worried that they might have received reduced attention over the holidays. I found Wordhunt, which you deleted and which I think might be notable -- there's a respectable source in the deleted article (Boston Globe) and multiple hits in Proquest, many of which look reliable. Do you mind if I undelete it? Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 21:52, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

@Espresso Addict: Done – as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored upon request. ✗plicit 01:39, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Removing link(s) undefined (XFDcloser)

You're leaving a lot of edits with this summary. Perhaps there's a problem with the XFDcloser tool. ~Kvng (talk) 04:54, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

File:Rafi malik.jpg

Hi Explicit and Happy New Year! What's your take on the licensing of File:Rafi malik.jpg? The file has EXIF data, but it says the image was generated in 2014. I can't find the full image anywhere online, but there's a crop from 2016 found here? Do you think this meets WP:F9 or should it be tagged with {{npd}}? -- Marchjuly (talk) 09:08, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Deletion of Akidearest article

Happy new year! I saw you deleted the article for YouTuber Akidearest last month and wanted to ask if there is any way to gain access to the article, since I would like to re-write it and reference the old article. I would of course revamp the sources so it doesn't get taken down again. Maehii (talk) 10:06, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Template:Colorado Crush starting quarterback navbox

Would you be willing to undelete this? It was deleted for having two links but it should have had three (Bobby Pesavento was missing). I asked the nominator (who is also an admin) if he would be willing to undelete it but he suggested deletion review, which I'm not sure is necessary or not since there was nothing wrong with the delete outcome at the time. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 17:47, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
