Deleted article copied to sandbox?«  Join this discussion

Hello All, An article I wrote was deleted for lack of notability. I am not complaining overly; the writing was not as encyclopaedic as it should have been and it lacked the citations and references. I didn't know what I was doing at the time and had no help, so the article was not good. The article was nominated for deletion and duly went. No sooner had it disappeared than editors have come out of the woodwork with advice and offers of help! The point of this is this, I believe that I read here that I could request the closing editor to copy the content to my sandbox, did I imagine that? I have messaged the editor and requested for that to happen and so far he has ignored me. Yes, we could start from scratch, but it would be far easier to have the framework at least to work from. Should I approach the closing editor again? Thanks in advance. Kiltpin (talk) 11:37, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi . If the closer continues to be unresponsive, you can file a request for userfication (is that a word?) of the content at Requests for undeletion, or you can choose to contact one of the administrators listed in Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to provide copies of deleted articles.
