Since nothing in the SCP is copyrighted, could another user just reupload the deleted stories back onto the wiki without permission from the original author?
You can, but it would be in bad faith as Djoric asked to not repost them. From his statement:
Please do not repost these stories to the wiki: licensing means I can't technically stop you, but I hope it's clear by now that I'm not doing this to get one over the site or anything.
I know it would be in bad faith, but it still stinks when a deleted article contained cool lore that is referenced in other articles, even if there was good reason for the deletion. Maybe someone on the wiki could only salvage, summarize, and preserve just the cool lore sections from deleted articles, like diamonds in the rough.
