Did user A
complain about the lack of history?
There were 31 edits to the page, not all made by user A. I don't
really care why B deleted it, my issue was with C copy and pasting it,
which should never be done.
Ok, I'm really not getting this at all. Lots of people contribute to
proposal, presumably because they wanted that proposal to exist.
Someone deletes it. Someone else recreates it but fails to properly
acknowledge the original creators. You re-delete it, citing the
interests of the unacknowledged? Surely common sense dictates that the
original creators would prefer the proposal be recreated - acknowledge
or not - than that it be deleted? It's a real stretch to assume that
they would rather it be deleted than that it exist without their name
on it. Also bear in mind that the recreator didn't have access to the
history...but you did, and could have copied it to the new article's
talk page, if it bothered you.
Maybe there were good reasons for deleting it, but that's a pretty
strange justification for re-deleting something.
