Thanks for your note.  I'm afraid that I can't locate the deleted article, because I don't have a precise idea of the title you gave it; that means I don't know if you asserted a copyright on the talk page of the article or not.  However, I understand what you're getting at; the Wikipedia policy that governs this situation can be found at this location.  If you follow the directions there, that should resolve any possible copyright problems.  Be sure that the article meets our other policies  you can find a refresher here  and you should be good to go.  If you need further assistance, leave me another note.  talk
