I am invoking WP:DRVPURPOSE#3. This was deleted for failing two guidelines, one that doesn't exist anymore as well as GNG. I have now done an initial search to located 21 press articles that contribute towards GNG. These are now saved to my hard drive, in anticipation of this page being restored to draft space or user space, so I'm able to build a real encyclopedic article from those (and more that are coming later) sources. I have tried contacting the closer, who seems to be absent since July, so here we are. Geschichte (talk) 10:27, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: since we don't have access to your hard drive, can you please cite three of those 21 sources that you believe prove notability per GNG? Thanks! Owen×☎10:44, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here are some, though it might leave editors none the wiser. The search was conducted in the nb.no database, where you get 85,000 hits for his name, and have to sift out everything relating to the the musician.

Refund to draftspace. While I see no fault in how the AfD was closed 3.5 years ago, I trust the appellant's good judgement on this. Geschichte is certainly experienced enough to skip AfC and decide when to move the article back to mainspace. Let's not stand in their way just because of that poorly-attended AfD.

As OwenX alludes to, you can just recreate an article when you can address all its reasons for deletion, and by the sound of it you can here - you don't need DRV's permission unless it's salted or someone G4s it. We can give you the deleted version, but if you expect it to help, you're going to be disappointed: besides now being three and a half years out of date, it was an infobox and four sentences of prose that could've been written entirely from looking at the infobox. I've pasted it here. —Cryptic15:52, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Refund to Draftspace - I wonder whether DRV Purpose 3 should come to DRV except in contentious cases, and this is not a contentious case. Recreators may normally either submit a draft for review or move the draft to mainspace subject to AFD. But if REFUND said come to DRV, then DRV can say Refund.
