:@[[User:LJ customs|LJ customs]] Hey there, just to be clear, you mean the one deleted [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Toyota C transmission|here]]? What's the basis for re-creation? '''[[User:Lord Roem|Lord Roem]]''' ~ ([[User talk:Lord Roem|talk]]) 20:26, 5 April 2023 (UTC) |

::yes that one! it is near impossible to find manuals and further that manuals in English. these pages are incredibly useful to the car community as Wikipedia is and I feel though most of the votes came from people who aren't apart of this specific community. I would like to either have the page re instated so I can edit it to make it comply. I understand this may not be possible due to the wiki trying to delete list pages and replacing them into one place. in this case I would like a copy of the page if possible so I can update the current toyota transmission page to include important information from the deleted page in a more condensed format.

|||
::I read through that deletion article and even though the reason is that wikipedia is not meant to be a guide, the other countless information on there is not easily found. Why wasn't the article just edited rather than deleted. |
|||
::This seems very targeted since the other series of transmissions are still accessible [[Special:Contributions/108.174.43.174|108.174.43.174]] ([[User talk:108.174.43.174|talk]]) 21:47, 9 April 2023 (UTC) |

:::@108.174.43.174 agree and it doesn't "guide" you on anything. simply states ratios, cars it came in and if they were lsd or not. didn't tell you how to build a trans... [[Special:Contributions/2404:4404:2A04:E00:AC90:C4AC:2BAA:2277|2404:4404:2A04:E00:AC90:C4AC:2BAA:2277]] ([[User talk:2404:4404:2A04:E00:AC90:C4AC:2BAA:2277|talk]]) 22:21, 9 April 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::::So, I don't think you need me to restore it if you want to re-create the article and try to improve it, but note it could still be deleted again on the same basis as the original AfD (and potentially [[WP:SALT|prevented from being restored]] if it keeps happening without a reasonable basis). That said, this isn't a candidate for undeletion and I don't think there's any issues with the AfD close, so I won't be taking any action at this time. '''[[User:Lord Roem|Lord Roem]]''' ~ ([[User talk:Lord Roem|talk]]) 02:23, 10 April 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:::::not necessarily restore it. but we need the information on the page. is there a way to send what was on it? [[Special:Contributions/2404:4404:2A04:E00:E990:8A8E:E10F:A716|2404:4404:2A04:E00:E990:8A8E:E10F:A716]] ([[User talk:2404:4404:2A04:E00:E990:8A8E:E10F:A716|talk]]) 09:17, 10 April 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:::::The problem is that no one knows what exactly was on that article that was the basis for deletion. Those transmission ratios that the other guy is talking about isnt gathered in the same place anywhere else. That info alone is priceless. Also how can we recreate the article if none of that info is available elsewhere. Is that the reason this whole article is gone? So we have to pay other for access to info when the whole idea of wiki is to have this collection of knowledge [[Special:Contributions/108.174.43.174|108.174.43.174]] ([[User talk:108.174.43.174|talk]]) 23:26, 10 April 2023 (UTC) |
