Searching the deletion log for "contested prod" or "restored prod"
would bring up some examples. I loaded up the most recent 5000 entries
(that only covers 2 days) and searched for those terms. Then I kept
going backwards. I stopped at 25,000. I searched for "contested" and
"userfied", and came up with 33 undeleted articles.

A couple of examples from that lot:
