Thomas Milo article
Hello, I see that the Thomas Milo article was deleted after a discussion. This guy is a giant of Arabic typography. I was going to make an article about him, but I'm wondering if you could undelete the article or if I could have access to the deleted text so I don't have to start from scratch.
I have plenty of sources. There's virtually an entire chapter about his work at DecoType in the book Nemeth, Titus (2017). Arabic type-making in the Machine Age. The influence of technology on the form of Arabic type, 1908-1993. Brill. ISBN 978-90-04-30377-5. OCLC 993032900. and he's probably the most cited figure in the book as well. I will develop the article and provide reliable sources. إيان (talk) 05:09, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
