I don't know why the page was deleted previously, but now there are more than enough sources for a full article: I would like to write the article but it is protected and only administrators can reinstate it. Thanks. Samwalton9 (talk) 11:43, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

  • It was deleted and salted because so many spam articles with that title were created. A long time has passed since the decision to salt it was made, and I don't think we can justify maintaining the protection when a good faith user wants to create an article in that space.—S Marshall T/C 11:54, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Allow recreation - yeah S Marshall is right. It was last deleted in 2007 after a solid 12 months of spamming and was presumably salted thereafter.
