The DuchAz – Speedy Endorse. I'll save everybody a week by closing this now. The deletion log indicates this is a copyvio of a facebook page; when I looked at that page, I couldn't find any duplicated text, but looking a bit further, I did find whole paragraphs word-for-word from https://www.zkhiphani.co.za/chit-chat-kasi-mlungu-duchaz/, so it's clear that this is a copyvio as claimed. Copyvios simply can-not and will-not be restored. Beyond that, the nom has already stated they don't mind rewriting from scratch, and given that the existing article was deleted for both WP:G11 and WP:G12, that would be required anyway. Given the comments below, starting in draft or user space seems like the way to go. – -- RoySmith(talk) 15:01, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the page above. Please do not modify it.
Page was previously restored by User:Graeme Bartlett after I had requested its undeletion at WP:REFUND then moments after its undeletion User:Dlohcierekim speedy deleted it as a copy vio. I Iater confronted User talk:Dlohcierekim#Deletion requesting him to restore it. This of course later led to the page being deleted again as a copy vio, before I could get a chance to work on it. The subject is notable, I am willing to work on it. I would not mind recreating the article from scratch. Rusboot (talk) 09:48, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Endorse; copyvios are not restored. If you want to start a new article from scratch on this topic, you are free to do so in the draft space. Lankiveil(speak to me) 10:33, 17 March 2018 (UTC).[reply]
Endorse. User can start from scratch in userspace if they wish. Szzuk (talk) 12:11, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
