Please do not request that articles deleted under speedy deletion criteria A7 or G11 be undeleted here.
Requests for the undeletion of pages deleted under these criteria will not be accepted here. Please check the deletion reason by going to the page before posting here.
If you feel that an article deleted under any of these criteria was deleted in error, please contact the deleting administrator. If you discuss, but are unable to resolve the issue, you may raise the matter at Wikipedia:Deletion review.
Alternatively, you may instead request on this page that the article be userfied or e-mailed to you; such requests are usually approved here. Once you finish improving the article, you may submit it for review or move it back into article space.
NB: In general, requests for undeletion of articles deleted through the proposed deletion system should not be denied unless the article meets one of the general criteria for speedy deletion. Articles whose notability is in question may be taken to Articles for deletion at any time after their restoration.
The following is a list of optional templates for aid in responding to requests. See the administrator instructions for more information.
If you are fulfilling or rejecting a request (as opposed to merely commenting on it, but leaving it open), please use at least ((done)), ((notdone)), or one of the standard template responses below — by adding either a check mark or an X, you clearly indicate to other patrolling admins that the request has been handled and does not require further attention. If you would like to explicitly indicate that a request needs further attention, you can use ((Not sure)) to attract other users.
If you are fulfilling or rejecting a request, please ping the original requestor (if they are a registered editor). Many requesting editors are comparatively new, and a ping helps such editors to be aware of the action that has been taken, whatever that may be.
Below are commonly used parameters for specific situations. A full list of parameters with example text and code is available at the documentation sub-page.

Done – as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored upon request.
Done – as a draft or Articles for creation submission deleted under CSD G13, the page has been restored upon request. They are not for the indefinite hosting of material that is unsuitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Please continue to work on the draft so that it meets Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for inclusion, prior to another six months elapsing.
(see below for more specific options) ((subst:UND|g13))
Done – as an Articles for creation submission deleted under CSD G13, the page has been restored upon request. Please edit the page to address any issues raised, and re-submit it; "Articles for creation" is not for the indefinite hosting of material found to be unsuitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia.
Done – as an Articles for creation (AfC) submission deleted under CSD G13, the page has been restored upon request. Please note that you never submitted the entry for review. When you are ready, you need to click on the button in the AfC submission template that says Submit the draft for review!.
(for G13s where ((AFC submission)) was used and where the draft was never submitted for review) ((subst:UND|afc-ns)) or ((subst:UND|AFC-ns))
Done – as a draft that was deleted under CSD G13, the page has been restored upon request. However, the draft namespace, though it is intended to provide some breathing room to create and develop a page without the time pressure of immediate review, is not for the indefinite hosting of material that is unsuitable for inclusion in the article mainspace. Please continue to work on the draft so that it meets Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for inclusion and then submit it for review—at the least, prior to another six months elapsing. When you are ready, a review can be requested by placing this code at the top of the page and then saving: ((subst:submit)).
(for G13s of draft namespace pages never part of the AfC process) ((subst:UND|g13-draft)) or ((subst:UND|g13-Draft))
Declined pending further information. This was undeleted over six months ago with a pledge that it would be worked on, but no edits were made to improve the entry for resubmission. Draft space is not an indefinite hosting service for material found to be unsuitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia's article mainspace. We may be willing to restore it again, but only if you provide a definite assurance that you actually intend to work on it and provide a short description of what you intend to do to improve it to meet our policies and guidelines. Please advise.
Not done – this page was deleted as a blatant advertisement under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion and Wikipedia is not to be used as a vehicle for promotion. This does not necessarily mean a suitable article on this topic cannot be created. If it is a notable topic, e.g., multiple reliable, secondary, published sources that are entirely independent of the subject have written about it in substantive detail (not just mere mentions), then a neutrally written article may be possible. This one was written like a commercial.
Not done – this page was deleted in accordance with criterion for speedy deletion A7. If you believe that this decision was made in error, or that significant new information has come to light since the deletion, please contact the administrator who carried out the deletion, Adminname (talk ·contribs). If you have already done so, your concerns can be taken to deletion review.
Not done – this Requests for Undeletion process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially, and does not apply to articles deleted after a deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted after a discussion took place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Page, it cannot be undeleted through this process. However, if you believe that the outcome of the discussion did not reflect the consensus of the participants, or that significant new information has come to light since the article was deleted, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, Adminname (talk ·contribs). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review.
