Result	Code	Normalized code
Done	`{{subst:UND\|d}}`	`{{subst:UND\|done}}`
Not done	`{{subst:UND\|nd}}`	`{{subst:UND\|notdone}}`
*Not done and will not* be done**	`{{subst:UND\|nd2}}`	`{{subst:UND\|notdone2}}`
Done – as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored upon request.	`{{subst:UND\|prod}}` `{{subst:UND\|proposed}}` or `{{subst:UND\|p}}`	`{{subst:UND\|prod}}`
Done – as a contested soft deletion, the article has been restored upon request.	`{{subst:UND\|soft}}`	`{{subst:UND\|soft}}`
Done – as a draft or Articles for creation submission deleted under CSD G13, the page has been restored upon request. They are not for the indefinite hosting of material that is unsuitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Please continue to work on the draft so that it meets Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for inclusion, prior to another six months elapsing.	(see below for more specific options) `{{subst:UND\|g13}}`	`{{subst:UND\|g13}}`
Done – as an Articles for creation submission deleted under CSD G13, the page has been restored upon request. Please edit the page to address any issues raised, and re-submit it; "Articles for creation" is not for the indefinite hosting of material found to be unsuitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia.	(for G13s where {{AFC submission}} was used and the draft was submitted and declined) `{{subst:UND\|afc}}` or `{{subst:UND\|AFC}}`	`{{subst:UND\|afc}}`
Done – as an Articles for creation (AfC) submission deleted under CSD G13, the page has been restored upon request. Please note that you never submitted the entry for review. When you are ready, you need to click on the button in the AfC submission template that says `Submit the draft for review!`.	(for G13s where {{AFC submission}} was used and where the draft was never submitted for review) `{{subst:UND\|afc-ns}}` or `{{subst:UND\|AFC-ns}}`	`{{subst:UND\|afc-ns}}`
Done – as a draft that was deleted under CSD G13, the page has been restored upon request. However, the draft namespace, though it is intended to provide some breathing room to create and develop a page without the time pressure of immediate review, is not for the indefinite hosting of material that is unsuitable for inclusion in the article mainspace. Please continue to work on the draft so that it meets Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for inclusion and then submit it for review—at the least, prior to another six months elapsing. When you are ready, a review can be requested by placing this code at the top of the page and then saving: `{{subst:submit}}`.	(for G13s of draft namespace pages never part of the AfC process) `{{subst:UND\|g13-draft}}` or `{{subst:UND\|g13-Draft}}`	`{{subst:UND\|g13-draft}}`
Done – as a non-free file deleted as orphaned, this has been restored upon request. Please note that the file needs to be de-orphaned within 7 days, otherwise it may be deleted again per CSD F5. Once the file is in use on an article, please remove the `{{di-orphaned fair use}}` tag.	`{{subst:UND\|f5deferred}}`	`{{subst:UND\|f5deferred}}`
Declined pending further information. This was undeleted over six months ago with a pledge that it would be worked on, but no edits were made to improve the entry for resubmission. Draft space is not an indefinite hosting service for material found to be unsuitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia's article mainspace. We may be willing to restore it again, but only if you provide a definite assurance that you actually intend to work on it and provide a short description of what you intend to do to improve it to meet our policies and guidelines. Please advise.	`{{subst:UND\|2nd}}`	`{{subst:UND\|2nd}}`
Blocked	`{{subst:UND\|b}}`	`{{subst:UND\|blocked}}`
Please repair your request – we cannot process malformed requests. Please use the code `{{subst:refund\|pageName\|reasoning}}` (replacing `pagename` with the name of the page you wish to have restored and `reasoning` with the reason for your request).	`{{subst:UND\|m}}`	`{{subst:UND\|malformed}}`
Not done – a deleted page with this name does not appear to exist.	`{{subst:UND\|dne}}`	`{{subst:UND\|doesnotexist}}`
Not done – this article has not been restored because it does not appear to meet our guidelines for inclusion of articles about companies. In general, Wikipedia considers a topic to be notable if there exist multiple reliable sources of information on the topic, external to the subject itself. Articles concerning companies will be deleted on sight if they are considered to be unambiguous advertising or promotion, or if they do not contain a credible assertion of the significance of the subject.	`{{subst:UND\|ndc}}`	`{{subst:UND\|notdonecompany}}`
Not done – this article has not been restored because it does not appear to meet our guidelines for inclusion of articles about people. In general, Wikipedia considers a topic to be notable if there exist multiple reliable sources of information on the topic, external to the subject itself. Articles concerning people will be deleted on sight if they are considered to be unambiguous advertising or promotion, or if they do not contain a credible assertion of the significance of the subject.	`{{subst:UND\|ndp}}`	`{{subst:UND\|notdoneperson}}`
Not done – this article has not been restored because it does not appear to meet our guidelines for inclusion of articles about music. In general, Wikipedia considers a topic to be notable if there exist multiple reliable sources of information on the topic, external to the subject itself. Articles concerning musicians or music groups will be deleted on sight if they are considered to be unambiguous advertising or promotion, or if they do not contain a credible assertion of the significance of the subject.	`{{subst:UND\|ndb}}`	`{{subst:UND\|band}}`
Not done – this page was deleted as a blatant advertisement under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion and Wikipedia is not to be used as a vehicle for promotion. This does not necessarily mean a suitable article on this topic cannot be created. If it is a notable topic, e.g., multiple reliable, secondary, published sources that are entirely independent of the subject have written about it in substantive detail (not just mere mentions), then a neutrally written article may be possible. This one was written like a commercial.	`{{subst:UND\|g11}}` `{{subst:UND\|G11}}`or `{{subst:UND\|notdoneg11}}`	`{{subst:UND\|g11}}`
Userfied – the page has been restored to the userspace at user:username/pagename.	`{{subst:UND\|u\|user:username/pagename}}`	`{{subst:UND\|userfy\|user:username/pagename}}`
Userfied – the page has been restored to the userspace at user:username/pagename. You may work on improving the article's assertion of notability at its new location, but please contact Adminname (talk · contribs), the administrator who deleted the page, before moving it back to the article space. Please see the criteria for speedy deletion and the relevant notability guidelines – articles that are not in compliance will be deleted.	`{{subst:UND\|a\|user:username/pagename\|Adminname}}`	`{{subst:UND\|userA7\|user:username/pagename\|Adminname}}`
Draftified – the page has been restored to the draft space at draft:pagename.	`{{subst:UND\|dr\|Draft:pagename}}`	`{{subst:UND\|draftify\|Draft:pagename}}`
Not done – this Requests for Undeletion process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially, and does not apply to articles deleted after a deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted after a discussion took place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Page, it cannot be undeleted through this process. However, if you believe that the outcome of the discussion did not reflect the consensus of the participants, or that significant new information has come to light since the article was deleted, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, Adminname (talk · contribs). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review.	`{{subst:UND\|afd\|Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Page\|Adminname}}`	`{{subst:UND\|discussion\|Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Page\|Adminname}}`
Not done – this page was deleted in accordance with criterion for speedy deletion A7. If you believe that this decision was made in error, or that significant new information has come to light since the deletion, please contact the administrator who carried out the deletion, Adminname (talk · contribs).
