My wiki was deleted without notice or provided reason. I spent a very long time working on it, and unfortunately have not saved any of the pages on it. Is there any possible way that I could retrieve this content from wikia?

I can't remember which thread it was since this comes up extremely infrequently. However, I seem to recall a similar question being asked a long while ago. At least back then, the answer was yes. For some reason, I am under the impression that the founder is supposed to get a notification and then a certain period of time within which (s)he can export the wiki. At this point, you may just want to contact staff with your question.
Thank you for the response, and I already have.

May I ask what content or topic your wiki was about? That could have been a contributing factor.
If I recall correctly, there was a brief period in time during which Wikia went through and "cleaned" the data base of small, abandoned wikis.
The wiki was far from abandoned. In the past few days I've been working on it for an amount of time around to 20 hours.

This thread is not me asking why my article was deleted, however since you asked it contained a fantasized encyclopedia about me and my friends. No full names were revealed, and everybody articles were written on fully consented them. This is irrelevant, however. I only wish to recover what was on the wiki before its deletion.
Interesting. Based on what you have told us, I don't see any obvious reason it would be deleted. Either way, you have done the most you can at this point. All any of us can do now is wait.
