== Request for review of two recent AfDs ==

Applies to:
* [[List of Sony flashes for Multi Interface Shoe]]
* [[List of Sony flashes for Auto-lock Accessory Shoe]].

Hi Postdlf, I just saw that you recently deleted the above mentioned two list articles following your closure of the corresponding AfD.

There are several things that went wrong here, that's why I would appreciate if you could review the whole case and reconsider your decision.

* Per our established process ([[WP:AFDLIST]]) the creator and main contributors of an article should be informed of deletion nominations. I ''am'' the creator and main contributor but have ''not'' been informed at all. Since I do not normally monitor AfDs I didn't see the nominations and consequently could not provide a rationale for the existance of these list articles. While it is the nominators' duty to inform the creator/contributors of the pending discussion, it is also within the responsibility of the closing admin to check that all the requirements for a proper discussions were met. Obviouly, in this case, checking this has slipped through somehow, that's why I am asking for review.
* I strongly believe that if I would have been informed and would have partipated in the discussion, the outcome of the discussion would have been completely different, either "Keep" or "No consensus". Not only would I have been able to throw my own vote into the discussion (obviously I do consider this information notable, encyclopedic and perfectly in line with [[MOS:LIST]] and [[WP:STANDALONE]], as each of the list entries has been covered in dedicated articles in the media and therefore is [[WP:NOTABLE]] which could be backed up by numerous references if required, and after I have gone through the various cases discussed at [[WP:NOTCATALOGUE]] I don't see any of them actually applying to this example), but given the reluctant remarks made by some other participants I'm sure my rationale would have convinced the participant who only added a "Comment" and probably also changed several of the "Delete" votes to "Keep". Also, for a deletion this far-reaching and with the second nomination only having been slipped into the discussion at a later stage, I would think that a much stronger participation and vote for "Delete" would have been desirable.
* Of the very few participants in the discussion, two voters incorrectly stated that the information could be found elsewere. However, they didn't realize, that this only held true because the lists were transcluded into these articles. Now, that the lists have been deleted, the articles ([[iISO flash shoe]], [[Multi Interface Shoe]], [[Sony α]] and possibly more) lack this information. It is not without irony that the very reason why these two list articles were created was to ''reduce redundancy and improve maintainability'': Previously, the information about flashes had to be maintained in three independent articles, that's why the information was combined and moved into these list articles, which in turn were transcluded back into those articles, so that the information could be maintained in one place and all articles could be kept up to date automatically with minimal effort.
* Both list articles had a multitude of redirects linking into them (IIRC dozens), which all have been deleted as well now (also without informing me or without any RfD discussions). As these were valid redirects per [[WP:REDIR]], at the minimum, they should have been retargeted to the other corresponding articles, because deleting them not only wasted my precious time to create them in the first place, but also weakened search box behaviour. The deletion did not serve any purpose in regard to achieving the goal of our project of building the most comprehensive and accurate encyclopedia ever, we didn't do our readers any favour deleting this.
* All in all, both list articles and the corresponding redirects were a vital part of the established infrastructure in regard to the Minolta/Konica Minolta/Sony camera systems and helped explaining the otherwise difficult to understand flash system (because of the many major and subtle consequences of the change of the flash shoe). The list articles were accurate, comprehensive and up to date, they were well maintained including being properly categorized, and what is left now is several articles lacking vital information.

Since the nominations were not carried out properly and consequently the outcome of the discussion was different from what it would have been if I would have participated and if the other participants would have been informed about the purpose of the lists and the far-reaching consequences of their deletion, I would like to ask for undeletion of both list articles.

An alternative to these list articles is to reincorporate the information into the related articles (like it was before splitting out the information into separate lists), however, this will only make it more difficult to maintain the information - and it would cost me weeks to research and recreate the information from scratch again.

Thanks for your kind consideration. --[[User:Matthiaspaul|Matthiaspaul]] ([[User talk:Matthiaspaul|talk]]) 22:30, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

== Request for review of AfD ==

Hi - I saw that you deleted the Xtreme Radio page - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/delete&page=Xtreme_Radio - I'd like to appeal this, I feel that this page has been unfairly targeted as a lot of UK Student Stations have Wikipedia articles, and Xtreme is notable in being the third oldest student radio organisation in the UK. It's also notable in winning multiple [[Student Radio Association]] awards, backed by [[BBC Radio 1]]. I feel there should be one rule for all student radio, either all the pages are deleted, or Xtreme Radio is allowed to exist on Wikipedia.

Hello Postdlf: I've been working my way through the (massive) [[WP:Birds]] cleanup listing, trying to resolve some of the longterm issues, and today came across the [[list of birds of the Madrean Sky Islands]], which you created way back in 2009.

== Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:“Vrindadevi reveals the secrets of Bhakti”, by Mumbiram, Watercolor, 1990, Pune.jpg ==

Hello postdlf: 
I remember you could help me before when it came to the usage of artworks in articles. 
I hope you can advise me in the current, following case: 

Some files/images of paintings by Artist Mumbiram, which I had uploaded on Mumbiram’s Wikipedia page are marked for deletion.

These are the concerning files for which an objection has been taken:

The images against which the objection has been taken, appear on Mumbiram's current homepage, [http://www.mumbiram.com www.mumbiram.com.] 

In similiar circumstances, for files that are used on the wikipedia page “Mumbiram“ and “Rasa Renaissance“,  I have obtained a letter from Artist Mumbiram, creator of the original works (paintings), where he is giving his permission to  use the creative commons attribution for these low resolution images of the paintings. Therein artist Mumbiram has cited his own homepage as evidence that he is the creator of the paintings. These are the four images for which an OTRS permission was given and which are attributed with  Creative Commons Attribution 1.0 Generic:

Artist Mumbiram is ready to write an email declaring that he is allowing  the use of the concerning low resolution jpeg images of his original paintings as in creative commons license. 
Could you tell me to whom he addresses such an email ? So that the objections against the uploaded images will be withdrawn.

Dear Postdlf,
Some unknown user has put up a template asserting that the file uploaded is a "derivative work". The objection is raised that the source information on the "incorporated work" is missing even while the source of the file is identified.
The Editor of Daily Sakal has already sent the letter of permission to wikimedia commons and obtained a ticket number.
