Recreation of deleted item

Hello @Saroj! I'm sorry that it https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q123688229 looked like spam, I didn't know that I couldn't self promote. I wanted to correct and add more information in the new iteration, sorry, but I didn't know that I couldn't restore items. @Bovlb told me to write you with explanation, but i forgot the password from the previous account, so i write here. My goal is to add marketers and organizations to the service so that more knowledge about them is available. I decided to start from myself. I want to add well-known marketers. In the second iteration https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q123757765 I filled in the number of subscribers on Twitter (about 5-6 thousand — https://twitter.com/rossoshanski), as well as OrсID https://orcid.org/0009-0007-9572-3349 — which is proof that i'm the author and I am real and have an education. I also thought it would be appropriate to fill in the author whom I considered necessary (me for example), because there is an example of a similar marketer in the knowledge base, which is about the same — https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q109247961. In the new iteration, I filled out the profile following his example. Please, if some points in your completed profile look wrong, please let me know and I will correct them. I hope to unlock the completed item, because I spent a lot of time on research and intends to continue developing this area. And btw I have a knowledge panel https://g.co/kgs/VwAF2W, and do much research in my field. Hope to hear from you. Average Person 2 (talk) 18:23, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

@Average Person 2, The item was deleted due to concerns of spam/advertising and not meeting the Wikidata notability policy. In the new version, there were no references confirming the importance of the person. If you wish to restore the deleted item, please follow this procedure. Thanks. --Saroj (talk) 07:29, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Recreation of deleted item

Hi! May I know why this has been deleted? I just saw it and decided to clean it up: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7268748

It is a legitimate company so I'm not sure why it's not meeting the notability policy. I would feel very guilty if I saw a random article that I cleaned up due to the flags I saw and it got deleted because of that. And I was just adding the founders to make it more rich. Was that a violation? Apologies for that!

Thank you! Nabiresearcher (talk) 14:58, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

The page was deleted for not meeting Wikidata's notability guidelines. If you believe the company is notable and should have a presence on Wikidata, you can appeal the deletion decision by submitting a "request for undeletion" on the Administrators' noticeboard. Saroj (talk) 16:28, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Requests for undeletion.

Hello @Saroj and hope you're doing well. I created Q124325889 last night and tried to add anything it needed and follow the policies, and Bovlb said these Items Q123124297, Q123116207, Q124054830, Q124078367, Q124084973 deleted by Saroj and ymblanter which are related to the entity. And that was because of notability. I don't want to spam and create more pages, and I want to follow the rules and policies. on my last page ( Q124325889 ) I followed the First Notability criteria in this page which says : (It contains at least one valid sitelink to a page on ... Wikimedia Commons). also i read this one , but the only thing i dont have is Press Article. Which is mentioned in a APN press release, but not on any other Press. also have All social Media ( Instagram , Tiktok, Facebook, Linkedin, ...) and some of them have +1-5 K followers. This company has multiple offices accross the world ( Sydney, Dubai, London, Toronto )and their GBP. Crunchbase also available. as i see all notability criteria followed and these deletions are very strict and changeable. So i'm here to request to undelete one of the entity page, Thanks Faridzain491 (talk) 05:50, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

request for undeletion

Hello, I would like to provide some information about this image to explain why I believe it should be kept on Wikimedia Commons. This photo represents me personally, a real person with a verified identity on official platforms such as Facebook and others. I uploaded the image under the Creative Commons BY 4.0 license, ensuring that I am the author and grant the right to reuse it according to the terms of the license. The image is useful for encyclopedic purposes as it represents the subject of the homonymous entry on Wikidata and Wikipedia, and it is used as the official image for my digital identity. I therefore believe it meets the Wikimedia Commons criteria for relevant and properly licensed personal images, as it serves to clearly identify the entity described in Wikimedia projects. I am available to add further information or links if requested, and to update the photo description to facilitate verification. I therefore request that this image be kept active and not deleted, as I believe it has every right to be part of the archive due to its documentary and identity value. Thank you for your attention and availability. Mallo Fortuanto (talk) 16:36, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

Requesting undeletion of Q136687757

This wikidata link was up for over a month, and a logged in user added photos from the wiki commons and Eisel flagged it for no reason while adding Award related photos from a Grand Prize Family Feud Win in 2016, required for Google Knowledge Panel for artist E Lion, who has over 40+ songs out and has been doing music for 20 years. The page was up, was requested by many, and is representative of the Schema on ELionMusic.com as I said the page was fine and up for quite a while, and the Google Knowledge Panel was being built so proper account information would pull up as there are several imposters, for the sake of fans and the artist, the page would be better off up, and clear guidelines on photos outlined, one simple photo is enough. Please restore this page and give insight on how to keep it up and safe from people who may not understand notability in America from other countries. ~2025-34565-42 (talk) 19:03, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

Request for reconsideration regarding the deletion of Lane Houk's Wikidata item

Hello Saroj, I am writing to you today to respectfully request that you reconsider your decision to delete the Wikidata item for Lane Houk and the book notable work item, The SPARK Framework, (which was deleted for the reason: "Does not meet the notability policy" ). I have gathered some additional information and references that I believe demonstrate notability, and I would be grateful if you would take a moment to review them. Of course, if there are any edits to the items that are recommended, those can be made, but I believe the outright deletion due to not meeting the notability policy is not applicable here.

The item refers to a person who is a published author, a multi-time founder of notable companies in the marketing and AI space who also exited Signal Genesys, the SaaS company he founded in 2018. Lane is also the subject of multiple independent media interviews, regularly appears on industry podcasts and contributes monthly as an author to an industry magazing. I believe this meets the notability criterion of being described by "serious and publicly available references."

Here are some sources for your consideration:

1. Published Author: Lane Houk is the author of the book "The SPARK Framework: Blueprint for AI Search Dominance." Official Book Website: https://thesparkframework.com Amazon Listing: https://www.amazon.com/SPARK-Framework-Blueprint-Search-Dominance/dp/B0D1329T1X Earned Amazon Top New Release Award: https://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/news/press-services/lane-houk-s-spark-framework-tm-hits-1480052790.html

2. Founder of Notable Companies & Subject of Media Coverage: Mr. Houk is the founder of several technology companies, including Signal Genesys, which was the subject of multiple news articles and interviews. These sources are not just press releases but also an independent interview and earned media articles discussing his work and impact on the industry.

3. Recognized Leader in the Digital Marketing Industry and has been a guest on multiple podcasts to educate other marketing agency owners

4. Monthly contributor to Everyday AI Vibe Magazine: https://everydayaivibemagazine.com/contributors/lane-houk/

Given these references—a published book, multiple independent interviews in publications like Authority Magazine, Catalytic Leadership Podcast, and independent recognition by multiple news outlets for his work with Herocare, I believe the item for Lane Houk satisfies Wikidata's notability guidelines. The existence of an item would also serve a structural need by allowing a proper link from the Wikidata item for his book.

Thank you for your time and for your important work as a Wikidata administrator. I hope you will consider restoring this item.

Best regards. Lane-a-houk (talk) 19:22, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

Request undeletion for X-Dynasty

As an editor, I did all the necessary to add reliable sources to the X-Dynasty page.. but it was later deleted.. can I know why please? Bhetyic3 (talk) 10:40, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

Request for admin intervention

Hi, I would like to request your review of two deletion requests.

• Case 1
• Case 2

Both requests were submitted by the same user.

My initial check regarding Case 1 shows that the researcher identifiers cited for Q136573807 (person) do not indicate the notability of the subject. The cited Google Scholar and ResearcherID profiles are void of any trusted publications or citations; the ORCID identifier appears to function only as a personal profile of the subject. Moreover, these identifiers were created recently, suggesting that they may have been created primarily to superficially fulfil notability standards. The subject is identified as both a researcher and a musician. I am not familiar with identifiers in the musician field, but I suspect that most of them may be self-created.

Update: After several days, a new “publication” was added to the Google Scholar profile, hosted on arXiv. However, a reading of the text suggests that it is not a peer-reviewed or formally published work, but rather appears to be a student homework or coursework document formatted to resemble a publication.

Case 2 is more peculiar. The requester, who is the same person who created Q136573807 (person) disputed in Case 1, attempted to request the deletion of Kagwe (Q6346716) (geographical item). Their justification for the deletion is:

Kagwe (Q6346716) (geographical item) is obsolete, a delete is necessary cleanup".

This strikes me as a strange argument for a deletion request, as other users in the discussion have already shown various valid identifiers and references supporting the existence of Kagwe (Q6346716) as a geographical item. After further checks outside of Wikidata, I concluded that this request is possibly part of SEO operations.

Another point to note is the pattern in how the discussion is being conducted in both of cases. The requesting user appears to be using multiple accounts: one registered account, alongside several temporary accounts, in a way that creates the impression of multiple independent participants. At least one temporary account is also participating in the voting, which raises concerns about the integrity of the discussion process.

Could you please review this matter and possibly intervene? Many thanks. HA (talk) 01:40, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I've reviewed both deletion requests and looked at the sources and notability of each item. I also checked the discussion patterns and did not count input from temporary accounts coming from the same IP as independent. I made my decisions based on the merits of the items and intervened where needed. Thanks. Saroj (talk) 08:54, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your prompt response. Aside from that, may I suggest you to review report submitted by Dorades (the one submitting bulk deletion request on Kagwe items)? Many thanks. I close this discussion. HA (talk) 10:23, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

== Request review of deletion of Q136573807 ==

@Dorades, Saroj, HA:

I’m writing to request review of the deletion of Q136573807.

The decision appears to have focused primarily on newly created researcher identifiers (Google Scholar, ORCID, etc.), while the entity’s longstanding artist identifiers and existing presence in the Google Knowledge Graph do not seem to have been taken into account.

Evidence of notability that pre-existed the item:

• Verified SoundCloud account
• Verified WhoSampled artist page
• Google Knowledge Panel entity
• MusicBrainz artist and works
• Discogs release associated with the artist

The bulk deletion also affected all of the works associated with this entity which also had Knowledge Graph MIDs, and these independent, third-party identifiers together demonstrate clear notability under Wikidata’s notability criteria for creative professionals. The deletion also affected multiple connected works that share the same verified identifiers in the Google Knowledge Graph and external music databases.

Per the guidance at Wikidata:Requests for undeletion#How to appeal deletions, I am first contacting you directly with clear evidence to request restoration or re-evaluation of the item (and, where appropriate, the associated works). If I do not hear back within seven days, I will escalate this to the Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard as outlined there.

Disclosure: I am the subject of this item.

Archer470 (talk) 20:08, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

@Saroj:

I’m following up specifically about the claim that there were no independent sources establishing notability.

I have collected several clearly independent third-party sources that predate or are separate from any of my own uploads, and could have easily been found:

• Article / review: https://www.stereofox.com/j-roosevelt-afterglow-ft-kagwe/
• Radio feature / playlist on WZBC (Boston College): https://spinitron.com/WZBC/pl/56484/Hundo-P
• NetEase Music artist page (China): https://music.163.com/#/artist?id=12541065
• Reference in U.S. university document (NC State): https://goodnight.ncsu.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/41/2023/04/Goodnight-Scholars-Program-Transfer-Class-of-2026-Interview-Finalist.pdf

These are in addition to the existing identifiers I mentioned earlier (MusicBrainz, Discogs, SoundCloud, Google Knowledge Panel, etc.). Taken together, they show that my work has been covered, played, or catalogued by multiple independent institutions (music press, radio, international platforms, and a university program), which satisfies Wikidata:Notability for a creative professional.

For clarity: the NetEase presence was not self-uploaded. My music was mirrored there from SoundCloud and gained traction in China, after which I had to verify my identity with the platform. This is part of a broader pattern where my work circulates across platforms regardless of my direct involvement, which is why I’m trying to ensure that Wikidata has accurate, well-sourced information linking everything together.

Given the above, I don’t think the statement that there are “no independent sources” is accurate anymore. In line with the guidance at Wikidata:Requests for undeletion#How to appeal deletions, I’m asking that the deletion of Q136573807 (and, where appropriate, the closely related works) be reconsidered in light of these independent sources. Archer470 (talk) 22:36, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi,

I've checked the additional links you provided. None of them show independent, significant coverage from reliable third-party sources. Most are platform profiles, databases, playlist listings, or brief mentions, which document presence but don't establish notability under Wikidata criteria.

Based on this, I don't see grounds to reverse the deletion. If you disagree, the next step would be to raise the matter at the Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard for wider review.

Thanks, Saroj (talk) 06:05, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

@Saroj:

To summarise my concern before I take this to the Administrators’ noticeboard, I want to make sure I’ve correctly understood the reasoning in the two related cases you closed:

• For Q6346716, you wrote that “the place is verifiable with independent sources”. You did not comment on notability, reliability, or significance beyond the fact that there are independent sources that support its existence.
• For Q136573807, you deleted with the summary: “The item lacks independent notability; research identifiers show no publications, and musician sources are mostly self-published.”

The research identifiers do have publications, so this was also inaccurate. In addition, several links were provided which are independent and non–self-published:

• Stereofox: a recognised music blog with a full write-up of Afterglow that explicitly talks about Kagwe as a US-based producer collaborating with j. roosevelt, with narrative context about work and style.
• WZBC / Spinitron playlist: a Boston College (WZBC) radio playlist log where Kagwe – Newton’s Cradle and Kagwe – Solo Strolo are played on air on a non-commercial station at a major U.S. university.
• NetEase Music: a major Chinese streaming platform hosting an artist page for Kagwe, which I did not create myself but later had to verify after the tracks spread there from SoundCloud.
• NC State University document: the Goodnight Scholars Program “Transfer Class of 2026 Interview Finalists” PDF listing me by full name as a candidate.

In your reply, you stated that “none of them show independent, significant coverage from reliable third-party sources” and that they are “platform profiles, databases, playlist listings, or brief mentions”. This is inconsistent with keeping the other item based on verifiability via independent sources, while treating multiple independent references (music press, radio, international platform, and university documentation) as insufficient for Q136573807.

Because of this, I remain convinced that, taken together with the existing identifiers (MusicBrainz, Discogs, etc.), these sources do meet Wikidata:Notability for a creative professional, particularly as an identifiable real-world person with serious, publicly available references and authority-like identifiers.

Per the guidance, my next step will be to request a wider review at Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard. I’m leaving this note here so that my understanding of your reasoning, and the evidence I presented, is clearly documented before I do so.

Inquiry regarding deletion of Q137612065 and Q137611303

Hello Saroj,

I am writing to kindly inquire about the deletion of the items for "Rocket Science Baltics" (Q137612065) and "Simonas Naudžius" (Q137611303). I understand they were removed due to "notability not established" and "promotion."

I would appreciate your guidance on how to properly re-establish these entries. Both the company and the individual are established entities in the Baltic digital marketing sector. For the company, I can provide official registration data from the Lithuanian Centre of Registers. For the individual, I can provide links to independent industry associations (like LiMA) and speaking engagements at professional summits. Could you please advise which specific independent sources or identifiers would be sufficient to prove notability according to Wikidata standards?

My goal is to contribute accurate, structured data to the platform.

Question about deleted item Q137791715 (Netsleek)

Hello Saroj,

I hope you are well.

I noticed that the item Q137791715 (Netsleek) was deleted for not meeting the notability policy. I would like to understand whether an appeal is possible if additional independent, reliable coverage can be provided.

Could you please advise what type of sources would be considered sufficient for recreating the item?

Thank you for your time and guidance. Osisia (talk) 20:09, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello Osisia, yes, an appeal is possible if you can provide new independent and reliable sources that clearly establish notability per Wikidata:Notability; the sources should be independent of Netsleek (not its own website, social media, or press releases), come from reliable publications, and offer more than brief mentions, and if such coverage is available, you can submit an undeletion request following Wikidata:Guide to requests for undeletion.

RESTORATION REQUEST Q137918930

Hello,

I understand and respect the deletion decision based on notability concerns.

I would like to clarify that the deleted item was about me, a real and identifiable person.

The item contained multiple authoritative identifiers, including ORCID, ISNI, VIAF,

IMDb name ID, Amazon Author ID, and academic profiles (Frontiers Loop, SciProfiles),

and only neutral, factual statements were added. No promotional or self-advertising

content was included.

I understand that independent secondary sources may be required.

I am fully willing to improve the item by adding appropriate independent,

third-party references in line with Wikidata’s notability policy.

I kindly request your guidance on whether restoration would be possible,

or advice on how I should proceed correctly before recreating the item.

Request for undeletion - Greg Brady (Q138000984)

Hi Saroj. Would you mind undeleting an item I created - Greg Brady (Q138000984)? I believe he is notable enough for inclusion, as several good sources on him exist. Here are three of them:

• https://web.archive.org/web/20180924213946/https://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/stories/2003/05/05/story1.html
• https://dallasinnovates.com/dallas-one-network-enterprises-acquired-for-839m-by-arizona-based-blue-yonder/
• https://bmmagazine.co.uk/business/encore-acts-of-successful-ceos-greg-brady-of-one-network/

There is also a second item (Q138001065) that does not have the requisite sourcing on its own. But if the first item were undeleted, the second item would then fulfill a structural need for the first in describing Brady's current company. Thanks in advance! ~2026-85867-6 (talk) 11:27, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

Jacob Anders is a notable person please restore it

I oppose the deletion of this item. Jacob Anders is a former candiate for United States Congress, professional historian and voice actor with a 15-year career in the Tennessee Valley. He is the creator of the 'Pokemon Abridged' series (a culturally significant web-media work) and has an upcoming autobiography with an assigned ISBN. This item is supported by established external identifiers including IMDb (nm10560570) and LinkedIn. I am currently in the process of adding secondary independent references from historical archives and media catalogs to further satisfy WD:N. JacobAnders (talk) 12:54, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

Spam Deletion

Can you please help me understand why this entry was deleted as Spam? Q138077060 ~2026-97059-8 (talk) 16:39, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

It was deleted because the item was promotional and did not include reliable, independent sources showing notability. Most links were to the company's own website or profiles, which are not sufficient for Wikidata. Saroj (talk) 17:41, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

Reinstating Deleted Topics [Q138316090] [Q138316010]

Hi Saroj. I noticed you deleted two items I created:

Unicycive Therapeutics Q138316010 and Dr. Shalabh Gupta Q138316090, the founder and CEO of Unicycive.

I understand that there weren't enough identifying details on the pages. I still had some work to do for both entries. Would it be possible for you to reinstate the pages so I can add the information that should qualify these entries for notability? I believe that both Unicycive and Dr. Shalabh Gupta are notable enough for an entry, and especially as they support each other - Unicycive to populate Dr. Gupta's work experience and vice versa.

Please see six sources below:

Thank you in advance ~2026-10433-76 (talk) 12:06, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi Saroj. In case you missed this, would you mind undeleting the above two items? I see now that a few of the sources I cited in my last post are not the most reliable, but the following two stronger sources should be enough to establish notability:

https://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/news/2025/12/29/ckd-kidney-disease-hyperphosphatemia-unicycive-fda.html

https://www.hcplive.com/view/fda-accepts-oxylanthanum-carbonate-nda-resubmission-for-hyperphosphatemia-in-ckd-dialysis.

Thanks! ~2026-10433-76 (talk) 11:53, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the sources. After reviewing them, I don't think they establish strong independent coverage, so I'm not able to reinstate the items at this time. Saroj (talk) 14:29, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

Dronebogus

About this warning: User:Dronebogus is trying to get a lot of files deleted from commons, and already started to remove them from articles on wikipedias world-wide, as well as Wikidata. In spite of a warning. That is why I undid a number of his/her edits, and even reported their behaviour on commons. - Erik Baas (talk) 15:43, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Saroj, please see 1 for context, and consider stronger sanctions for Erik Baas due to their continued edit warring and use of AI slop. Dronebogus (talk) 18:27, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

RFU: Jennifer DeRosa (Q138568462) (Jennifer DeRosa)

This item was deleted together with the organization item Q138568358 (Toto Coaching, LLC). However, the person appears to meet the Wikidata notability guideline.

This item satisfies N2 because the subject has recognized authority control identifiers:

• VIAF: https://viaf.org/viaf/22171591062803230172
• Library of Congress Name Authority File: https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2024043043.html

Jennifer DeRosa is also the author of the Wiley-published book Building DIY Websites For Dummies.

Because the subject has authority file identifiers and a published work from a major publisher, the item appears to meet the Wikidata notability guideline.

Undeletion request — Q139405160 (Craig Pretzinger)

Hi Saroj,

You deleted Q139405160 (Craig Pretzinger) on 2026-04-18 for not meeting notability. I'd like to request undeletion under WD:N point 3 (structural need).

The subject is a co-host of Q139378233 (The Insurance Dudes), an accepted podcast item with 792 episodes, inception 2019, Apple Podcasts ID 1451888095. Q139378233 needs Q139405160 as the value of P161 cast member — without the human Q-item, the podcast item can't record who hosts it.

The deleted item had 25 statements with references (primarily https://blog.theidudes.com/about + Apple Podcasts). Immediately upon restoration I will add the P161 cast member → Q139405160 statement on Q139378233 (with qualifier P3831 = Q2722764 host, and reference) to make the structural need explicit.

I'm in the field this week with unreliable connectivity and may not see the restore notification for hours. If you're willing, adding the P161 cast member = Q139405160 statement (qualifier P3831 = Q2722764, reference: Apple Podcasts URL https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-insurance-dudes/id1451888095, retrieved 2026-04-19) on Q139378233 in the same session as the undeletion would resolve the structural-need question immediately and save a round-trip. I understand if that's out of scope; if so I'll make the edit myself as soon as I'm back online. Thank you.

Insurance dudes (talk) 05:31, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi, you appear to be the subject of this request, which is a conflict of interest. The structural need argument only works if the podcast itself is notable, and it isn't. The sources are your own blog and auto-aggregated podcast directories, none of which constitute independent coverage. A non-notable podcast cannot establish notability for its hosts. Undeletion declined. Q139378233 is also nominated for deletion on the same grounds. Saroj (talk) 16:10, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

RFU for Lian Hua Dermatology Clinic (Q139495005)

Hello Saroj, I requested the deletion of Lian Hua Dermatology Clinic (Q139495005) (RFD link), due to the empty condition of the item. I was informed later by its creator @Linhuaclinic that they added the reference sometimes later, as indicated in their response in RFD. I checked the reference and indeed it is journalistic works related to health, and the clinic mentioned seriously within it. Kindly help restore the item, since it was suggested to contact the deleting admin first. I apologize for this mistake. Thank you. Yamato Shiya^{大和 士也} (Talk • Contribs) 13:02, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Thank you sir. And sorry for the trouble. I'm new to Wikidata.

Also, I was a little unsure what happened so i was half-way to re-create the entity again. I cannot find a way to delete it so maybe this could be done by you? https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q139497409

Thank you. And hopefully the un-deletion of the original content will happen soon! Good day. Linhuaclinic (talk) 13:05, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

From my perspective its better to merge them later (unless Saroj has other opinions on it), for now, please just fill in the new item with sufficient information so it will not get requested for deletion again. Thanks. Yamato Shiya^{大和 士也} (Talk • Contribs) 13:09, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi, @Linhuaclinic the item already restored. Thank you. Yamato Shiya^{大和 士也} (Talk • Contribs) 13:33, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

I have undeleted Q139495005 and merged Q139497409 into it. Saroj (talk) 13:38, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

About Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced

Hi, Q138589086 is part of a well know video game serie and it was confirmed few week ago, this is a remake that English Wikipedia also mention. So I'm not quite sure how this should be managed, at least merging it into the original game, but AFAIK different concept should not be merge. So the game deserve it's own entry, isn't it? Fabe56 (talk) 13:44, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi, the item was largely empty and no references or identifiers were provided, so notability could not be established. I can restore the item if reliable sources are provided. Saroj (talk) 14:06, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Sure no problem, I will work on it since we have now more information ;)

Sorry about that! Fabe56 (talk) 14:16, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Saroj, the release date and other details were announced yesterday. Could you please confirm that the page has been still plan to be restored? Fabe56 (talk) 17:07, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I have undeleted the item. Thank you. Saroj (talk) 17:35, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

Contesting Deletion (Q139496251): Verification of Corporate Notability and Identifiers

Hello. Thank you for reviewing this item Q139496251. I am contesting the deletion because Getron meets Wikidata notability requirements as a structurally verified global entity. It is an established B2B software provider with registered corporate entities in the US, Germany, and Turkey. It is tracked by major business intelligence databases including Crunchbase and G2, and its software solutions are utilized by enterprise clients globally. I am currently in the process of adding its corporate registry IDs (OpenCorporates/VAT) and independent press citations to the item to further verify its structural significance. Please allow a few days for these identifiers to be fully populated. TimurZehr (talk) 15:10, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
