Hi! I am answering you to the post you left at Talk:Sax Shaw. The article was deleted because it was copied from another place, which is a copyrights violation. You may create article again, but you'l have to write it yourself using reliable independent sources (see: WP:42). We use sources for wp:referencing, but copy-paste from a source is not allowed. You said that you re-wrote the article, but you don't know where it is. It seams that it is actually here, on this page above. Vanjagenije (talk) 17:27, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
