Could you undelete this one, please? I meant to re-add it to its article but didn’t change the file extension, so now we’re favouring a PNG file that somebody added into Yale School of Medicine instead of the SVG I uploaded. Thanks, odder (talk) 00:23, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Odder:  Done, file restored. ✗plicit 00:25, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Explicit, its me again. You deleted this file on the back of this discussion. The main reason given for its deletion was lack of understanding. This image is the official logo for the 2024 Indian general election (www.https://elections24.eci.gov.in/) Shouldnt such images be there on the respective wikipedia pages? I understand that the infobox currently does not support election logos, but it had found space whithin the scope of the article. As a pic, it has served its purpose of being the official logo so I dont see why it should not be there. Pharaoh496 (talk) 18:40, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pharaoh496: I'm not seeing how its use in the article was justified in accordance with WP:NFCC. It was used decoratively in the body of the article and the logo lacked sourced critical commentary to meet the contextual significance criterion. ✗plicit 11:33, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For instance, the 2019 Indian general election has its logo below the infobox. They are used in such a way because the infobox is not equipped to include a logo. This, however should not be the reason for the exclusion of the logo from the article itself, and kept there temporarily till the infobox gets that parameter, or either stays there below the infobox in perpetuity. Pharaoh496 (talk) 12:13, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pharaoh496: Other stuff exists is not an indication that the other logo is justified by policy. I have nominated it for deletion. The infobox not possessing a parameter for election logos is probably a sign that their use is not justified. ✗plicit 13:00, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am contesting your deletion of the file of a photo of an elected official, citing unauthorized copyright. This file originated from the following government website https://www.bexar.org/719/Precinct-4-Commissioner-Tommy-Calvert

Please show the state or local statute applicable to the County of Bexar protecting this image from use on Wikipedia. GarrisonNeely (talk) 19:53, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, NomadBSD was deleted (by you) three years ago. However, it's a popular BSD distribution now, with unique features: in my opinion it deserves an article. I suggest recreating the page; I can do it myself if that's ok with you guys. Eritr (talk) 10:40, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Eritr: Well, the article only contained one reference at the time of its deletion, which was a link to the operating system's own website. If you can produce the three best sources that show significant coverage from reliable sources, you are technically free to create the page. Personally, I would suggest creating a draft and submitting it through the articles for creation process, but that decision is ultimately up to you. ✗plicit 11:33, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I created a stub but, a few minutes later, I got a G4 speedy-deletion notice. Eritr (talk) 08:20, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good Day Explicit

I hope you are well. I saw in my notifications that you had left a comment for me but when I cam to your page it says the comment has been deleted or removed. Could you please put the comment back so that I can take your advice about my page. My page was poorly sourced by whoever wrote it and I can remedy that.

Kind Regards

I am a bit worried about this web page that I found online. Do you know how this would have happened?

Dear Mr. @Explicit, please delete user page such as User:Or3omimi 5 because CSD G5. Thanks. 36.78.197.242 (talk) 14:58, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Explicit,

I hope all is well!

I am contacting you (hopefully in the right way) to contest the deletion of my Wikipedia page "Can Man Dan". I'm not sure why it was deleted, but I happened to notice its removal today when I was speaking at a school and we were trying to pull up some information and relevant news stories.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can_Man_Dan

Believe it or not, that article helps me fundraise for a variety of free community events in Alberta -- it's a nice way for people to see our (my team and I) history as do-gooders. I would love to have it back if possible? I may not be famous worldwide, but people know me up in Canada -- which I'm not sure counts lol

I saw that it was self-gratifying or whatever you posted, and I can tell you that I don't edit my own page lol. I barely know if this is the best way to get a hold of you to contest this deletion.

Anyway, thank you for your consideration and God bless.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Also, I created this account if you need to get a hold of me! DanielJohnstone (talk) 22:06, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DanielJohnstone: Done – as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored upon request. ✗plicit 03:29, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it, Xplicit! You really helped a brother out -- thank you. God bless and much love. DanielJohnstone (talk) 17:07, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Since you extensively work in this field, I wanted to ask: is using a non-free album cover inappropriate when the topic of the article is not the album / soundtrack itself? Yes, it can be added after creating a separate article for it, but what if the album is not notable enough to have its own dedicated article and only exists as a sub-section of another? Can it be used after appending a valid rationale explicitly stating that it will be only used in a single article to illustrate the appearance of the said work? Thank you. Lunar-akaunto／talk 11:48, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lunar-akaunto: Hi, in general, it's not appropriate to use a non-free album cover on any page other than in the infobox of the article about the album itself. ✗plicit 12:36, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Explicit, could you please explain to me how the former logo of NI Railways (Northern Irelands State Owned Railway company was not fair use). It was in the public domain. I am not saying you're wrong to remove it. It's just NI Railways had three logos throughout its life the original one on the page as we speak, the one you deleted that was used until 2021, and the current one presently used. If this version of the logo cannot be replaced, could you suggest another way to incorporate into the Wiki page "NI Railways". Many Thanks RooneyDonal21 13:47, 15 June 2024 (IST)
