Re: Zeta Delta Xi

First, let me start with: I am not an admin; I cannot see the deleted article, other than the version you were able to provide, which doesn't show the edit history (or I would suggest attempting to get feedback from the article creator and any major contributor(s)). Second, I believe I looked at when it was at Wikipedia:Proposed deletion, but even if I had edited it, I would no longer be able to tell, as the deletion would also have deleted my linked contribution. Third, I look at a lot of Greek organization articles at Prod and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, but they tend to blur together; I look for them [http://politicalgraveyard.com/group/index.html here]. Fourth, I prefer editing the AfD discussion page, as, even if the article gets deleted, I'll be able to find my participation, but the article didn't get there. Fifth, even as your original may have looked tl;dr, as it involved deletion, and an admin, I felt you deserved a response, and it seemed to me to have gone unanswered longer than it should have, so I empathize with your second post, and I'll apologize for the length of this.

Having looked into this further, Wikipedia:Deletion review directs you to attempt to address it to the deleting admin, User:SarekOfVulcan (Talk), and I've found him to be helpful and reasonable in the past. Since the article was deleted by Prod and not an AfD discussion, you may request Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion. There is also :Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles, who are unlikely to have put themselves in the category by error, and the article was not the normal attack, copyright violation, hoax, or juvenile humor page admins frequently delete.

I have attempted without success to find additional sourcing to help you, but I will note the following: it is on the university page and therefore verified. Only minimal sourcing should be necesssary to justify a stub article. It is in search engine autosuggestions by the 9th character, and with Brown university by the 12th, but that indicates use, not notabilty. If you have access to membership rosters, the directory listing of names, even Wikipedia article entrants, would not be notable, but a biography which included sufficient university/fraternity coverage would be one reliable source. As an older institution, any coverage of it is likely not online, and university newspaper coverage also wouldn't help, but local coverage might; regardless, either might mention 'was featured/profiled by x magazine/newspaper'. Anything referenced will be verified.

This all seems like a lot of work, since you stated you are not a member; even if you don't act further on it hopefully someone will. If a request for userfication is approved, it would be placed in a sandbox or subpage for you; as long as continued improvement is made, this would be left alone for as much as a year or longer until deleted as a stale draft. Any future coverage may of course be included, but would need to be primarily about the fraternity, or provide sufficient coverage of it. A feature that was half about the fraternity and half about it's charity efforts this year might be sufficient; one of this year's seniors which only mentions it once and then profiles each would not be. Note that once verified by sufficient sourcing, uncontested information from the university, directory of notable members, and basic details like founding from its own sources would be includable.

style="border: solid 1px silver; padding: 8px; background-color: white;" |

:{{DRV links|Zeta Delta Xi|article=}}

Speedy deletion (A7: Article about a group or club, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject) was performed outside of the criteria established for such deletions. Article plainly contains statements intended to establish significance. There is no indication of falsified content or intent to mislead (credibility not in question). Admin may be conflating credibility with creditability, which is explicitly proscribed as a consideration vis-à-vis the cited tag.

The criteria established for the application of A7 are further elaborated in a direct appeal to the deleting admin. Patronanejo (talk) 02:26, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

  • Cached version not showing up. Going to need a temp. restore... Hobit (talk) 03:31, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
  • :Done. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 03:45, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
  • I have informed User:Evilphoenix, as the admin who declined the initial speedy deletion request in 2005 of this review. My involvement started at Wikipedia:Help desk#Zeta Delta Xi, followed by Wikipedia:Help desk#Restoration of Article Zeta Delta Xi and User talk:Dru of Id#Restoration of Article Zeta Delta Xi. While I consider User:SarekOfVulcan fair, and our interactions all positive, I do not see where he has disclosed his possible COI. Dru of Id (talk) 06:37, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
  • No COI involved -- I was never a member of any fraternity at Brown, and while I don't remember the details of this from my time at Brown, I'm quite pleased that they bucked the national organization in this way. I'm just not convinced that it show the kind of importance that would earn them an article. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 12:39, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Is there any reason why we shouldn't send this to AfD for a full discussion? I feel that part of DRV's role is to provide FairProcess to good faith users on request, and this is a good example of when that's appropriate.—S Marshall T/C 11:36, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
  • I think the A7 is probably acceptable (I'm not seeing a whole lot of assertion of notability) but per S Marshall would prefer to see an AfD given a good faith contesting of an A7 that's not 100% clear-cut. Hobit (talk) 12:51, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Overturn. I do not see A7 as acceptable at all. The article very clearly indicates the importance of the topic (the events of 1982 to 1987 particularly). References are deficient and notability may be in question but these are not relevant to speedy deletion. Thincat (talk) 12:57, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
  • That's the problem with A7: assertion of notability is in the eye of the beholder. I'd have sent to AfD instead of tagging for speedy, but I'm really conservative on speedies. Hobit (talk) 13:00, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
  • While I see no intentional breach, I see "took a stand in gender non-discrimination against a national (albeit, parent) organization" as a credible claim of importance, although not backed by independent sourcing online. I see no sources online that could be used to establish notability, and believe userfication to be the likely outcome, but visibility at AfD may get offline sources included by others who might not otherwise know of the need. Dru of Id (talk) 16:14, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Thing is, I don't see "took a stand against parent organization" as being a credible claim of importance, unless it's followed by "leading to changes in the organization's policy."--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:49, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Overturn to List There does seem to be something about the allegedly notable events in the online Brown Encyclopedia, which appears to be used elsewhere on the project as an RS (but the dates are off?). At any rate, a place to discuss should be granted. Alanscottwalker (talk) 17:36, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
  • List at AfD - I'm neutral (read that as don't care) whether A7 was appropriate or not. The point of CSD and speedy deletions (and PROD, for that matter) is only to spare the unnecessary listings at AfD. So, >shrugs< - Another 7 days of discussion in this case shouldn't be a problem. - jc37 20:23, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Overturn. CSDs are restricted by design to those narrow situations where consensus exists that every reasonable editor will look at the page (and its history) and conclude that the page must be deleted. By definition, if a prior editor considered and rejected speedy-deletion, then there is not the required unanimity to apply CSD. (There are some exceptions such as for undiscovered copyright violations but those do not apply to this case.) Rossami (talk) 23:14, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
  • :Thanks, Rossami -- I had missed that speedy decline in the ancient history. Overturning. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 13:44, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Overturn and list arguably the article does make some claim of notability, if not in clear terms. It remains to be seen if it meets WP:GNG OSborn arfcontribs. 02:30, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Singular they

You recently made a correction to Singular they, effectively changing

  • [use of] "he or she" to
  • "the usage in cases of consistent antecedent-matching".

Your interpretation does not appear consistent with the author's intention and suggests that you misread the word "or" as being in roman typeface, which it was not.

In other words, you understood

:he or she,

but the author wrote

:he or she.

The sic that you also removed was intended to indicate where Baskervill apparently misquoted Byron. All the original sources I could find with Byron as the author, from 1822 on, give the wording

:"Every one must judge according to their own feelings"

while various grammarians, published later and possibly copying from an original misquotation by Goold Brown in 1826, give the (apparently incorrect) wording

:"Every one must judge of their own feelings".
