*I created an article "Robin Cook (entertainter)" (one t too much) on the English Wikipedia.
*I realized I had misspelled the article and moved it to "Robin Cook (entertainer)"
*A bot warned me that the article "Robin Cook (entertainer)" was nominated by user Hu for speedy deletion (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ABensin&diff=141985190&oldid=140449374)
*I added a {{hangon}}-tag
*I moved the page to "Jonas Ekfeldt" and edited some more

I should perhaps also mention that the original article with the misspelt name "Robin Cook (entertainter)" was deleted at 11.23 on 2 July 2007: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/delete&page=Robin_Cook_(entertainter)

Now there is no history of who added the tags {{db-band}} or {{Notability|date=July 2007}} (or any other history before I added the {{hangon}}-tag) and if you look in Hu's contributions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Hu) there is no record there of him adding the tags to "Robin Cook (entertainer)". It looks as if I created the article at 11.23 on 2 July 2007 and added 
{{db-band}}, {{Notability|date=July 2007}} and {{hangon}} all at the same time since the first history entry is http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jonas_Ekfeldt&oldid=141988770

That's because the older revisions were deleted and you then recreated the article.
