Pages tagged with DeletedPage are deleted after two weeks of no edit activity. In practice, this usually means after someone important remembers to do maintenance.

Pages that are deleted are permanently lost. They are not restorable from any backups you may have heard exist, no matter how reputable the source of that rumour was. '''Therefore, it is up to the community to ensure that pages aren't deleted recklessly.'''
