I have managed to get a number of articles undeleted in the past before by simply asking the editor who deleted them to undelete them as I was not informed of them being nominated for deletion and so wanted to either a) discuss the deletion or b) give it a chance to be improved or both of those reasons.  I would suggest that others follow a similar process.

Cheers,

Douglas.

Yeah... I understand that...

But I would need to restore it. But whilst I am admin there, I am not familiar enough with the restoration procedure rules. I do not feel very confortable doing it :(((
I am going to drop a question about that and will come back to you

Hi

I copy pasted the entire text in my email two days ago Rupert...
You just need to copy paste it anywhere you feel it is best (online or not online).

Sure, if you could restore it, at least in my or Rex personal namespace...

Yes please do send this list and try to improve them,  and then tell me how pleasant this work was.

Contrary, for the rocky dawuni article I d be interested as well where the copyright infringement was. I do not like that without admin permission it is not possible to look this up...

Also of interest in the conversation: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=650110340#Copyvio_-_removal_of_tags_by_Spearmind


Otherwise... with a quick study of what is going on about the deletion spree, it seems that...
* in all articles, chunks are indeed copyvios. The chunks are smaller or bigger depending on each case.
* in many cases, the article is blanked in its entirety, then deleted.

Looks like it is a bit overkill to me. I see not why at least a stub could be kept.
