Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2020 January 1

  • Ren (singer)Allow recreation. There's no objection to the nom's plan of writing a new article at the existing title. To the minimal extent that it was discussed, the old AfD is endorsed, but that's pretty much a non-sequitur at this point. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:32, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ren (singer) (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (XfD|restore)

Subject starred in Their Distance and had been one of the fixed hosts/panelists on the talk shows The Kkondae Live (source from The Dong-A Ilbo) and Hogu Chart (source from Herald Pop). He was also a finalist on Produce 101 (season 2). Previous article had been sourced by Allkpop and Soompi but I think these sources can be easily replaced (especially in regards to Soompi, who links the original articles they translate). lullabying (talk) 10:57, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If the deletion was years ago, and you think you can overcome the reasons for deletion, draft it in draftspace, use AfC and get an AfC reviewer to agree. If you are sure you can overcome the deletion reasons, then re-create directly in mainspace. In both cases, you may or may not want to start with the deleted history, available via WP:REFUND (request undeletion into userspace or draftspace). There is no role for WP:Deletion review right now. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:39, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the advice. Will do. lullabying (talk) 08:53, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: If deletion review is not the correct process to go by, I will simply recreate a new article once this discussion is closed. Thanks for everyone's assistance. lullabying (talk) 18:55, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You have plenty of article writing experience. There are new sources since the AfD. DRV won’t AfD-proof a recreation. It’s better that you re-create it, work on it, and then be prepared to defend it if someone then wants to delete it. Good luck! —SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:11, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
