Anyone any idea where I could find the original AfD?
It seems to have

The edit summary just says "oops".
The deletion log helps in cases like this:

"OTRS Courtesy blank"
What probably happened is that someone who was unhappy with some of
the things said in the heat of the moment e-mailed the Wikipedia OTRS
service and asked for a courtesy deletion. Not quite ideal in some
ways, as this is a deletion, not a blanking (as the summary says), and
these two actions (deletion and blanking) are very different, but you
are best off asking the admin involved what happened there, though he
may be unable to tell you much more.
