I can't really speak for Merope, since I didn't see the article when it existed, but she deleted it under criterion for speedy deletion – A7, which basically means that the article did not assert notability – not that it's not a notable subject. Any article that does not explain in the article why the subject should have a place on Wikipedia can be deleted at any time by an administrator like Merope. Leebo 86 20:24, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Is it not notable now?
On Merope's user talk page I explained why it is notable. Should I just go ahead and post the article again? Once we've established that an item IS notable after it's been pulled, who's responsible for putting it back up? JoelDowns 20:59, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Any administrator could restore it, but give Merope a chance to review what you've given her – she is busy with real world tasks at the moment probably. If Merope thinks there's sufficient evidence for notability, you'll need to assert it in the article after it has been restored/recreated. Nothing is "lost" on Wikipedia, and anything can be undone. There is no need to worry. Leebo 86 21:04, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I have restored the article to your userspace at User:JoelDowns/Answerbag. You can work on it there, making sure to include the evidence for its notability within the article.  After having done so, you can move it back to the mainspace.  If you require assistance, you can put helpme on your talk page and an experienced editor will be by shortly to assist you.  I apologize for the delay -- I've been extremely busy in real life, as Leebo has said.  --  Merope  14:32, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
