| Just asking that it be created anew actually, rather than any revisions being undeleted. It should redirect to [[The Black Knights - MCDU]] now.

| Funny thing, might i add. I complained at cheese for having deleted these images, [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=UDWiki%3AAdministration%2FSpeedy_Deletions%2FArchive%2FNovember-2008&diff=1314432&oldid=1314425 only to remove the complaint when i realized they were the surplus ones]. Second funny thing: J3D is asking for images to be undeleted, while i made it very clear that image deletions are permanent in nubis misconduct case. Yeah, he might not be interested in that case, but still this validates my point that image deletion is WORSE than template deletion, and the second one should be the one being schedulled for deletion when unused, not the first. --[[User:Hagnat|People's Commissar Hagnat]] <sup>[[User talk:Hagnat|talk]] [[Special:Listusers/sysop|mod]]</sup> 01:37, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
