I deleted it because copy and paste moves of pages are unacceptable normally, and especially unacceptable when the original page is deleted, because of the GFDL requirement that the history of all pages be kept. If you want the content, you need to post to DRV about the original page, since there is no possibility that the copy will be restored.
Um, slow down a little bit.
User A posts some content Admin B deletes the content, erasing its history User C reposts the content as a service to user A Admin D (or B?) redeletes the content, citing the lack of history preservation!
Did user A complain about the lack of history?
I haven't seen the deletion reviews or whatever, but what is so bad about this content that it has been (speedy? unilaterally?) deleted like this? Sure, it's probably a bad proposal, but we've seen millions of those. What's going on here?
