The archive of deleted page revisions may be periodically cleared. Pages deleted prior to the database crash on ] ] are not present in the current archive because the archive tables were not backed up. This means pages cannot be restored by a sysop. If there is great desire for them it may be possible to retrieve them from the old database files. Prior to this, the archive was cleared out on ] ]. |

'''If a short stub was deleted for lack of content, and you wish to create a useful article on the same subject, you can ] and do so.''' You don't have to get the stub undeleted, and as long as your new version has content it should not be redeleted. If it is, then you should list it here. |

#Deletion Review is the process to be used by '''all''' editors, including administrators, who wish to challenge the outcome of '''any''' deletion debate or a speedy deletion unless: |
|
|
#*They are able to resolve the issue in discussion with the administrator (or other editor) in question; |
|
|
#*In the most exceptional cases, posting a message to ] may be more appropriate instead. Rapid correctional action can then be taken if the ensuing discussion makes clear it should be. |
|
|
#*An administrator (or other editor) is correcting a mistake of their own, or has agreed to amend their decision after the kind of discussion mentioned above. |
|
|
#Deletion Review is also to be used if significant new information has come to light since a deletion ''and'' the information in the deleted article would be useful to write a new article. |

:This process should ''not'' be used simply because you disagree with a deletion debate's reasoning — but instead if you think the debate was interpreted incorrectly by the closer or have some information pertaining to the debate that was not available at the time. This page is about ''process'', not about ''content'', although in some cases it may involve reviewing content. |
