  • User:Dorades versus User:Mutante See: "It's really really discouraging that this also starts here now and items are randomly deleted with no other reason than "not notable". Then you can't even reply on the deletion page because that is _also deleted_. What problem are you fixing by doing this? And what criteria do you personally apply what appears not notable to you? Mutante (talk) 16:39, 26 August 2024 (UTC) >>> Hi, I assume you are referring to my RFD for ‎Q124312249. I nominated this item because it did not comply with any of the criteria for Wikidata notability in my view (cf. WD:N). Apparently, the deleting admin thought so, too. If you are unhappy with the outcome of the deletion, please read Wikidata:Guide to requests for undeletion. >>> I don't know what you mean by "that this also starts here now". Is this about the deletion process on another Wiki? Regards, --Dorades (talk) 19:12, 26 August 2024 (UTC)Yes, it's about deletionism on other wikis that so far hadn't spread to Wikidata as much. It's highly frustrating for editors while it's unclear what problem it fixes. Also this did "refer to an instance of a clearly identifiable conceptual or material entity that can be described using serious and publicly available references.". Mutante (talk) 22:45, 5 September 2024 (UTC) >>> Since I've been active on Wikidata, the deletion process has been like this. I nominate items for deletion from time to time which I come across and which don't seem notable. Since there are criteria for notability (WD:N), items can be deleted if they don't comply with those criteria. If you wish to change the deletion process in general, probably WD:PC would be a good place to start (and maybe a RfC afterwards). >>> As I wrote above, the path to request the undeletion of an item is desribed here: Wikidata:Guide to requests for undeletion. Since I can't see the contents of the item now, I can't tell if there were references given, but I assume if there were "serious and publicly available references" present on the item, it wouldn't have been deleted. --Dorades (talk) 10:41, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
