[12:39:13] <Guest76>	 hope someone is online!!!! if a page is deleted, then years after a page is created anew (not undeleted) with the same name as the old deleted page, would an admin be able to restore the original page?
[13:24:24] <taylan>	 Guest76: pretty sure yes
[13:24:43] <taylan>	 I think the history will show that there's a deletion history for the page no matter what? Or you may need to manually visit the deletion logs.
[13:32:21] <AntiComposite>	 yes, deleted revisions can be un-deleted, unless they have been manually deleted from the database for some reason
[13:32:53] <AntiComposite>	 if deleted revisions are restored while there is a new page at the same title, the histories will be merged together
[13:33:19] <AntiComposite>	 if you do not want this to happen, you will have to move the existing page to a new title without a redirect before restoring the deleted revisions
[13:37:42] <Guest76>	 great to know, thank you!
