Deletion and recreation

I am as optimistic as anyone about creating an article about David Firth. Before this article was deleted, there was much more information about him and his works. A few years ago, it was considered for deletion, and the consensus was to redirect "David Firth" to "Salad Fingers" (his most noteworthy work at the time), and of course, it was recently deleted completely.

So, why was this article deleted? And would it be appropriate to create the article again?

There is still information about David Firth from the previous article, courtesy of the Wayback Machine (the latest version is January 2007). Would it be appropriate to add this information to the article?

I think that David Firth article should not keep getting deleted because he is a very popular animator. He is a YouTube partner (doki66) and if there is an article about one of his animations then there should be a article about the owner, David Firth too, so the article should stay i think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dxzq (talk • contribs) 21:54, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I heard of David Firth and his creations from a wide range of sources, from word-of-mouth to UK television. I relied on Wikipedia to provide more information about this interesting artist. Before this article was deleted, Wikipedia fulfilled and exceeded my expectations by serving the information I was after. Now it does not; the new article is very much sub-par. IMHO the original article should be restored. --82.71.4.31 (talk) 19:10, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
