I'm hoping that this is the account that emailed me about the above linked article. Sorry for responding here, but I generally do not respond directly to Wikipedia emails for a number of reasons.

But that aside, while it is theoretically possible to actually permanently delete things from the Wikipedia DB, in practice it almost never happens. "Deletion" Is normally just a matter of hiding material from all but selected users. Base deletion hides it from all non-admins. There's a deeper level called Oversight that hides things even from most admins. Oversight is generally only used for truly vile stuff. Particularly bad WP:BLP violations and so on. But the edits in question were only done by basic admin deletion. And such deletion is always easily reversed if the situation changes.

That aside, there are a couple of possible paths forward. There's not much to work from in the deleted article. A few bits of information, no sourcing, no real indication that the subject meets the project's notability rules. I suggest you first check out WP:MUSIC for the specific notability rules for musicians. If, after reading that, you think that you can show that he meets those requirements (and I mean that he meets WP's definition of Notability, not any definition that you come up with yourself) then the likely next step would be for me to userify the old article. That'll give you what little there was there as a starting point, in your user space where you'll have more freedom to work on it without threat of it being deleted again. When you think you have it sourced well enough to show that it meets WP's notability requirements, it can then be moved back to article space.

Does that sound reasonable? - TexasAndroid (talk) 14:05, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
