You're listed as the deleter for the article on the Libertarian Party of Eagle County. (Assuming I'm reading it properly.) The problem is that the article was referenced by thirty some-odd other articles. I can't figure out how to find the references; apparently there must have been a Libertarian Party of Eagle County. (Or there's a lot more spam out there.) Should we recreate the article, find the articles linking to it, remove the links, and then delete the article? Right now it just seems weird. --[[User:Fcoulter|Fcoulter]] ([[User talk:Fcoulter|talk]]) 16:44, 24 November 2017 (CST) | You're listed as the deleter for the article on the Libertarian Party of Eagle County.

*I went and looked at it, and there is no content to restore - it seems to have been created as spam. You can search for what articles contain the references to see if we should re-create.

:*I don't remember deleting this specific article, but many article-creating attackers use existing redlinks to create garbage. I can't find this on the Internet Archive so it might not have been up for long. Short of spelunking into the Legacy Database of Doom we can't confirm one way or the other as to whether or not I fumbled and it was originally legitimate content before being overwritten with garbage, though. -- [[User:Strangelv|Strangelv]] ([[User talk:Strangelv|talk]]) 18:29, 29 November 2017 (CST) | |||
