See a recent DRV - where a user is merely asking for a deleted article to be made visible to see if the content can be re-used elsewhere. Someone posted:
I don't like this kind of request very much, and yes, I know what the
blurb just up there
says. The fact is that this material has been rejected by AfD, and
this feels like working it
back in through th back door.
Ugh.
