Saying I could have AFD'd the last article when I couldn't
The above section, as well as the talk page of the article in question, had ppl claiming I could have completed the AfD nominations myself. ("Someone can AfD it - you could do it too, it's not hard.") ("You also didn't follow deletion protocol and generate a discussion page.") Problem is, IP users cannot complete AfD nominations, and I prefer to remain anonymous. I wouldn't be complaining about this if this was the first time ppl have brought this up, but it's not. Why do ppl think IP users can complete AfD nominations? 100.7.34.111 (talk) 18:29, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- People don't know because it's not common knowledge. I didn't know. Either way I stick by the rest of what I said; the deletion nom for Uijeongbu is really unlikely to pass. toobigtokale (talk) 18:45, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Registering is hardly removing the shroud of anonymity. Create an account with some interesting username, and you can AFD things on your own. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:53, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- People are specifically told to come here if they don't have a user account and wish to complete a deletion ("If you are unregistered, you should complete step I, note the justification for deletion on the article's talk page, then post a message at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion requesting that someone else complete the process.") We should not be generally then criticizing them for having done so. --Nat Gertler (talk) 19:26, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- We should adjust that text to encourage them to create an account. Less work for us / teach people to fish... etc. And I already told the anon above that if they care about anonymity, editing as an IP is not the best idea. Wikipedia:Get my IP address...

- Nah, I'm with Gertler on this one. We should not be getting onto ppl's cases for coming here to make AfD requests instead of making an account and doing it ourselves. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 04:18, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Editors opinions on whether IP editors should make an account are not the issue. IP editors cannot complete the AfD process, removing the advise won't change that. Instead interested editors should help with completing the process for them, or find something else to do. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 21:39, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

AfD request for Necrobotics
Article is essentially synopsis of a single academic paper, with all secondary sources being trivial mentions thereof. Please finish AfD submission. 70.172.183.203 (talk) 22:15, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
Done - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Necrobotics. --Finngall talk 19:09, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
AFD request for Lists of political scandals in the United States by state or territory
This is a list of nonexistent lists, so there isn't a point in it existing. Please complete the nomination. Lists of political scandals in the United States by state or territory 173.168.97.87 (talk) 19:28, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- The pages on that list have recently been moved to draft space; I have moved this list to draft space as well. No AfD needed. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 19:49, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
Recovering content from deleted article but not undeleting it
There was an article List of companies delisted from the New Zealand Exchange which was deleted in March 2023. That's fine, but the problem is that we have the article List of companies listed on the New Zealand Exchange which links to the deleted article, instead of listing all the delisted companies, which now means that there is no delisted companies listed. Is there a way that we can copy the information from the deleted article without undeleting it? —Panamitsu (talk) 22:02, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- I've just found an archive of the deleted article on the wayback machine and have added it to List of companies listed on the New Zealand Exchange but the problem is that the references aren't easy to copy over. —Panamitsu (talk) 22:14, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- If you go to Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion, you can request that the file either be emailed to you or posted as a draft that you can copy from. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 22:15, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you, I will give that a go. —Panamitsu (talk) 04:46, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
Categorization Question
I have nominated Utamo for deletion. It is a planned resort and entertainment complex in Saudi Arabia. I am not sure how it should be categorized, except as to the country. I don't see categories for Resorts or Real Estate Development. I also don't see a category for places, which can be nominated for deletion if they are not legally recognized or not populated. If I encounter something like this again, what categories should I put it in? Robert McClenon (talk) 21:54, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Robert McClenon I have since created Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Travel and tourism which hopefully plugs this gap. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 21:39, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
- User:Spiderone - Thank you. That is what I wanted. In the meantime, I see that Utamo was deleted. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:37, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
Why deletion?
The note said that you could find no information about this, as if it never existed. You shouldn't delete things that didn't show up in a simple Google search for no reason.
Here is a good source at Stanford University. https://tobacco.stanford.edu/cigarettes/womens-cigarettes/max/
They existed. They stopped making them in 2010. Why delete a factual article? Jlen6805 (talk) 04:12, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
Scripts by Lourdes
I notice that Template:Before Afd, which appears at the top of WP:AFD, contains several links to scripts by Lourdes, a blocked user. Have those scripts been forked to be hosted by a different user? If not, that'd seem warranted, along with a notice at the script documentation page. And for the header template, I wonder if telling people to install WP:xfdcloser (cc Evad37) might be better than suggesting scripts? {{u|Sdkb}} talk 22:32, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
There is currently a page about my business PalmStar Media that was recently tagged with a "notability" banner. My company has been featured in trade press, interviews, etc. but my understanding is that it doesn't meet Wikipedia's specific requirements for citations to articles with a broad, national audience with in-depth profiles. Although I'd love to have a neutral page about my business, it looks like it doesn't qualify for one. Since I have a conflict of interest, I don't think I'm allowed to nominate it for deletion, so I wanted to bring it to the attention of editors here. Let me know if there is somewhere else I should be for this. Ksf207 (talk) 18:01, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
AFD request for Rajeev Ranjan Giri
Please create Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rajeev Ranjan Giri with the rationale "Subject of the article is not notable. Full source analysis available at Talk:Rajeev Ranjan Giri#More analysis which includes all the sources that have been present in the article. BLPN thread failed to turn up any additional sourcing and it was suggested that the page be nominated for deletion so I have done so. Unfortunately significant coverage in multiple reliable independent sources does not exist." Thank you 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:F49D:F12E:294C:7BBE (talk) 21:09, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
