Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Decrease
Before posting a request for unprotection, please discuss it with the protecting administrator first. You can create a request below only if you receive no response from them.
To find out which administrator protected the page, go to the page's edit history and click on the "View logs for this page" link (located underneath the page's title). The protecting administrator is listed in the protection log entry, next to the words "protected", "changed protection level", or "configured pending changes". If there are a large number of log entries on the page, use the drop-down menu near the top of the page and select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" to filter the logs accordingly.
DO NOT request a reduction in protection if...
- ...you are being prevented from editing the page. A desire to change content is not a valid reason for unprotection. Instead:
- If you can edit the article's talk page, use the WP:Edit Request Wizard to propose a change on the article's talk page. Include an explanation of the exact content that you want to change, and what the content will be afterward.
- If the article's talk page is protected, you may propose a change at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit.
- ...your reasoning for reducing protection is that the article has not been vandalized. That simply means the protection is working as intended.
- ...your reasoning for reducing protection is basically "a long time has passed" without supporting details.
- ...you haven't contacted the protecting administrator.
You may request a protection reduction below if...
- ...you want to change the protection level of a template or module from full protection to template protection. You may add the request to this page without having to discuss it with the protecting administrator first.
- ...you need to remove creation protection from a location where no page exists (redlinked pages) after a draft version of the intended article is prepared beforehand and ready to be published.
- ...you are proposing a trial reduction in protection for a page that has been protected for several years, provided the proposal is supported by evidence such as talk page activity, page views, page traffic, number of watchers, frequency of edit requests, and prior history of vandalism.
- ...the protecting administrator is inactive or has not responded to you in several days.
If you cannot locate your request, make sure to check the request archives to see if it's been moved there. Only requests that have been recently answered will still be listed here.

Reason:
Request to allow draft recreation: Danny Lauter Hello, I would like to request temporary unprotection of Draft:Danny Lauter so that I can recreate the page in draft space following Wikipedia notability and sourcing standards.
The previous deletions occurred before significant independent coverage was available. Since then, there have been new independent articles and media coverage (I can provide sources). The new version will be fully cited, neutral, and based only on reliable sources.
Thank you for considering an unprotection or administrator-assisted recreation in draft space.

- @~2025-32618-95: forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I think you can also create a draft in your own userspace. Like so: User:~2025-32618-95/Danny Lauter. You can also create an account, and then post the content on your User: page. Good luck, Manifestation (talk) 16:47, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
