:admins can - but to redo a deleted article you need to go to [[WP:VFU]] first otherwise it'll be speedy deleted. also, if the argument was "redundant to a category" then it would make more sense to make the category than to remake the list wouldnt it? <small><i><font color="#990000">[[User:BL Lacertae|BL Lacertae]]</font> - <font color="#555555">[[User talk:BL Lacertae|kiss the lizard]]</font></i></small> 23:13, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
::I don't think Freekee means to undelete the article permanently, only temporarily so that he can add all the listed articles to a new category. If the list is very long, maybe there's a [[Wikipedia:Bots|bot]] that could help him? <sub><s>Seahen</s></sub>[[User:NeonMerlin|<span style="background-color:#000000;color:#ff0000">Neon</span>]][[User talk:NeonMerlin|<span style="background-color:#00ff00;color:#000000">Merlin</span>]] 23:31, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Yes, I only need the text of the list article in order to start the category. There were less than 40 subjects listed, but I can't remember all of them, and it took a few weeks to find them all. I'd rather not lose that work, but it's not the end of the world if it's all gone. On the other hand, there's a question about the impropriety of the deletion, and it may get reinstated on those grounds. -[[User:Freekee|Freekee]] 03:09, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
