See a recent DRV - where a user is merely asking for a
deleted article
to be made visible to see if the content can be re-used elsewhere.
Someone posted:
I don't like this kind of request very much,
and yes, I know what the
blurb just up there
says. The fact is that this material has been
rejected by AfD, and
this feels like working it
back in through th back door.
Ugh.
It is unfortunate that DRV has been overtaken by an assumption of bad
faith to a far worse degree than AfD. The above comment is not so
unusual.
