Inquiry about recently deleted user page

[edit]

Hi, I have a question about the content of a user page you deleted three days ago, because I just came across a somewhat suspicious edit by its creator. It's about the page User:Hussain67091, which was tagged with G11 and U5. Now to my question: I just came across an edit the user made today to the page BH (newspaper) (his first and, as of now, only edit), and since it had some NPOV issues that could be interpreted as promo, I was wondering if the content of the deleted user page was in any way related to this newspaper? (I see that you only mentioned U5 in the deletion log, but since it was tagged with G11 as well, I thought I'd ask, just to be sure.) Thanks! Felida97 (talk) 12:10, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Felida97. Not specifically, although worth noting that the user page contained self-promotion for this individual's SEO services. I've also indef'd the account as they're clearly not here to build an encyclopedia. -Fastily 22:40, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thank you! Felida97 (talk) 17:28, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request for undeletion

[edit]

Hi Fastily,

Similar to this request, could you please temporarily restore User:Samisawtak/tfp Wikipedia collaboration to my user space? It contains information that I need for an AE/RFAR request that I will be submitting within the next couple of weeks. It does not contain private information.

Hi BilledMammal. Here is the text of the page before it was blanked. Regards, Fastily 01:33, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, but I was actually hoping to also see the edit history - would it be possible to get it restored so I can do that? BilledMammal (talk) 04:24, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Would it also be possible to temporarily restore User:Ïvana/sandbox/TFP article development and User:Ïvana/sandbox/TFP book template to my user space? I don’t think they’ll be as useful as the other two, but they may help. BilledMammal (talk) 04:54, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, although before I do, may I ask why you need these? Thanks, Fastily 21:10, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A community-banned editor has organised an EEML-style covert-canvassing ring, which these may contain some evidence towards. Related to this ring has been the organisation of non-ECP editors to make edits in ARBPIA, and these pages contain evidence of that organisation and the editors involved.

Got it, thanks for the clarification! Restored:
