Not sure how it survived as long as it did - but there is a google cache of it (as of today, not sure how long they update) http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:NQViRd7MbuMJ:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duff...
Of concern is why did it get speedied ( 06:41, 14 January 2008 AliveFreeHappyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AliveFreeHappy( Talk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:AliveFreeHappy | contribshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/AliveFreeHappy) deleted "Duffen Coryhttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Duffen_Cory&action=edit" (CSD A7 (Bio) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CSD#A7: Biographical article that does not assert significance) ) thought that long standing articles have to go through xfd?
I don't remember any time limit on speedies. If it takes 2 years for anyone to notice the article, then it gets speedied after 2 years, so be it. In this case, however, it's borderline A7 - it does assert significance, it's just not very significant significance. Given that it had had a prod tag on it for 4 days already (00:30, 10 January 2008 by BWH76), I would have just waited.
