The page was deleted after an AfD by Velella in Feb 2023, note left in User_Talk:Ksujata. She is no longer active on Wikipedia, otherwise she would have added the links needed, he flies through WP:NACADEMIC as the Vice Chancellor of Shivaji University from 1983-1986 listed here. I can repair it for her. Disclosure: She is his daughter, my wife so I will do it with a COI disclosure via WP:AfC. Ldm1954 (talk) 19:58, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

N.B., we suspect her Wikipedia account is linked to an old, nonexistent yahoo account, which is why she did not receive the notifications. Ldm1954 (talk) 13:03, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Ldm1954, I've restored the page. Pinging Velella as a courtesy. LadyofShalott 13:35, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks. I will do some cleanup later, inc

Copy of deleted article Vaughn J Featherstone

Hi. Could you please provide me a copy of the deleted article Vaughn J Featherstone or Vaughn J. Featherstone?
