Wikipedia:Deletion review

If you think a review of a deletion discussion is needed, please list it here and say why. Users can then comment to reach an agreement on whether the community thinks the discussion was closed correctly, or the decision should be overturned. Each user can say if they want to endorse the closure, or overturn the closure, with a brief comment, and sign with ~~~~.

A page should stay listed here for at least 5 to 7 days. After that time, an administrator will decide if there is a consensus (agreement) about what to do, and take appropriate steps. If the consensus was that the discussion was closed correctly, the discussion should be closed with a note saying this.

SpBot archives all sections tagged with {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} after 3 days. For the archive overview, see Archive.

What is the reason of deletion of page?.--~~~~

Abduddaher (talk) 13:08, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

The page was deleted under Criterion A3 (Complex articles with little to no simplification work being done).- FusionSub (Talk page) (Contributions) 13:26, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

Please restore Wicked (Maguire novel)

Wicked (Maguire novel) is definitely notable, even if that article itself doesn't show notability. The English Wikipedia version has many references. The article was long and detailed, so it should be restored and more content can be added. TagUser (talk) 00:39, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Deletion reason invalid.--RoyZuo (talk) 08:22, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

The category guideline on this Wikipedia requires at least three entries for a new category. That category had fewer, so it was deleted (in 2021, by the way). If there are three entries to put into it, it can be recreated. --Auntof6 (talk) 08:49, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

@RoyZuo: Those are all under Category:University hospitals in Germany. That category, not the individual articles, would go under Category:Hospitals in Germany, so there would be only one entry. -- Auntof6 (talk) 14:45, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

So?

That doesnt mean these 3 articles cannot be placed directly under Category:Hospitals in Germany. You want 3 entries and here are 3 perfect entries. RoyZuo (talk) 15:08, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

@RoyZuo: They can't be under both a category and its parent. University hospitals would be a subcategory of the regular hospitals category. The individual articles would be under university hospitals because that is the most specific category. They can't be directly under both categories. This is explained in the categories guideline at Wikipedia:Categories#Choosing the correct category. -- Auntof6 (talk) 20:48, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Read that page you quote: Wikipedia:Categories#What_categories_should_the_new_category_be_in?. RoyZuo (talk) 21:06, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

It works differently on Simple than it does elsewhere. We basically require three categories or articles to sit directly within a category for it to be created. As it is, the University Hospitals cat can be placed into the categories that the one you are suggesting would go into, until there are enough articles that are just regular hospitals to make this suitable.

Yes, likely those items also don't meet our criteria. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:34, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

"likely"?

do you mean 50/50 chance? RoyZuo (talk) 13:36, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Why would I mean that? What you've done is link to other categories that might also have the same rationale for deletion. It's generally seen as a poor argument in a deletion discussion. See W:WP:OTHERSTUFFEXITS Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 16:59, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

1. claiming other valid categories should be deleted to justify deletion of another valid category is the actual poor argument.
2. you have failed to address Wikipedia:Deletion_review#c-RoyZuo-20250410210600-Auntof6-20250410204800: Wikipedia:Categories#What_categories_should_the_new_category_be_in? which requires Category:University hospitals in Germany to be in
   1. Category:Hospitals in Germany
   2. Category:University hospitals
   3. Category:Colleges and universities in Germany (notably, Category:University of Göttingen also contains only 2 elements Academics of the University of Göttingen University of Göttingen) (and the same goes for Category:Free University of Berlin and so on).

@RoyZuo: Pinging you. --Auntof6 (talk) 08:50, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

• Endorse deletion - The reason given for deletion was very much a valid one, If you object that much to deletion then create more articles so the category can be populated (POINTY I know), All of this time and energy bickering over the deletion could be better spent on making articles for that category. –Davey2010^Talk 13:44, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Baddies season 4

Requesting undeletion, since the show is generally notable, exists on en, and the other seasons in Baddies (TV series) are notable enough to be kept. After a blocked sock put a QD request on the article, I put the Template:Wait on the article. I am not entirely sure why. Thanks, MrMeAndMrMe_Talk 00:35, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

It looks like an IP recreated it. Looking at the original content, which is pretty much the same as the current content, I don't see anything that makes the season itself notable. It's mostly just a cast list. I'd normally expect to see an episode list in an article about a series season. -- Auntof6 (talk) 01:23, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

"After a blocked sock put a QD request on the article, I put the Template:Wait on the article" - If you knew they were a blocked sock why did you let the QD stand ?..... Anyway as noted by Aunt the article has since been recreated so there's not a lot that can be done now, I'm assuming the content there now is the exact same as what got deleted in the first place, Either way nothing to be gained from deleting and undeleting, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 01:44, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Reinstate Animal cruelty in Simple Wikipedia now

I want to reinstate this article in Simple English Wikipedia. Can someone help me in solving this problem here now? 117.196.154.2 (talk) 03:58, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

@117.196.154.2 Your article Animal cruelty was Redirected to Cruelty to animals by admin Fehufanga. Because it was duplicate of already existing article. You can make constructive changes on Cruelty to animals. Happy editing. Bensebgli ^(Talk) 08:21, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

We can move this article to that article now on. 120.56.109.76 (talk) 12:04, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
