Requesting reference for following
Following section has been deleted from article Islamic advice literature by User:Headbomb claiming source to be Predatory. Still I feel there won't be much reason for information to be untrue, and hence I hope more reference sources fitting in 'English Wikipedia manual style' would be available hence requesting support in the same.

Thanks and regards Bookku (talk) 17:18, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

===Social Islamization === In early and medieval centuries Sufi literature including their advice literature played a substantial role in spreading Sufi Islamic values among Muslim masses. In early Turkish classical advice literature Yunus Emre a (probable) 13th century poet's Risâletü'n-Nushiyye, Feridüddin Attar's Pend-nâme, Sa'dî's Bostan and Gulistan, and  Mesnevi of Mevlana, Ahmed Fakih's Çarh-nâme (794–798) played substantial role among Turkish Muslim culture and masses.

I missed the first source. I'll restore the paragraph with a CN tag instead. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 17:20, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Deletionpedia
I know deletionpedia covers deleted Engolish articles. but i was wondering whether there's any way to retrieve information from non-English wikis. The following page was deleted a while ago, but fortunately, it was still saved on Google cache. But this morning I checked the page and it gave an error message. Is there any way I could somehow view that page again? 79.67.76.253 (talk) 20:04, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
 * You can check archive.org, or other web archive projects. This is a direct link to the page, which says it was deleted as "nonsense" and has some of the text there.   RudolfRed (talk) 20:11, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I've tried the wayback archive machine already, and its no use. I won't reenter it on Wikipedia. I just wish to retrieve it for myself, but I can't when its hidden. 79.67.76.253 (talk) 23:53, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
 * On enwiki you can usually ask at WP:REFUND for copies of deleted articles within reason (like if the reason for deletion isn't copyvio or libel). There might be a similar way to request deleted content at sowiki. And if not, you could always try on meta. 199.66.69.67 (talk) 05:55, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
 * It looks like it was deleted as "nonsense" on 21 June. That's just a few weeks ago so there should still be snapshots around. 2602:24A:DE47:BB20:50DE:F402:42A6:A17D (talk) 07:57, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
 * This might be it. 2602:24A:DE47:BB20:50DE:F402:42A6:A17D (talk) 08:00, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Gracias, sir or madam. 79.67.76.253 (talk) 09:17, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
