Jesus, Friend Of Sinners edit
- ... that the song "Jesus, Friend Of Sinners" by Casting Crowns "admonishes" the Christian church to show compassion?

Article was created April 7, but has never been expanded 5x according to DYKcheck. Rcej (Robert) – talk 04:13, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
- That's a wonky history. An edit summary suggests that it was moved but I see nothing of the sort. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:48, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
- K, logs show that the page was deleted to make way for a page move. This is supported by an AFD in which the article (a stub) was speedily deleted. I cannot see what the original article was like. Date-wise, this qualifies. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:51, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
- The version of the article that was deleted contained only a single sentence of non-infobox, non-template text: "Jesus, Friend of Sinners is the last single by Casting Crowns from the album Come To The Well, released in 2012." This minimal stub article was replaced on May 2 by something real. The current revisions prior to May 2 appear to me to represent work in user space being transferred into mainspace in order to preserve history. I can try to find you more specific details if you want; let me know. — Richwales 22:13, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
- Seeing as the content and DYK entry or mine, here is the explanation;
- Like Richwales said, someone created a stub of the article which, upon my suggestion, was deleted; in turn, my sandbox entry of the article (and evidently its history) was imported to the article. I didn't intend it to be imported that early but, regardless, it happened. The previous article was a stub containing only one sentence and, even if you count the original creation date, it was still expanded 5x. It's a confusing history but it checks out nonetheless. Sorry for any confusion or whatnot. Toa Nidhiki05 00:28, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
