If you have 10k reputation, you can have a look at this deleted question. If you don't, here are the headlines:
The question was in a terrible state, and it got
-12as a consequence:Just read details
I had windows vista basic i replaced it {completely} using ubuntu 10.10 disk
I downloaded the wireless driver from aditional drivers
I enabled wireless
It wont read my router my game systems will so...
[...]
Everyone worked fairly hard to turn it into a good question
- I provided a huge answer, which got
+13— Oh, so close!
The Reversal badge motivated me to write a big general guide about this strange, non-reproducible problem. Effectively turning it from "I have this weird problem with my wireless network" into "What do I do if I have any problems with wireless networks".
Terrible questions that can be turned into great resources are few and far between. But when they turn up, there's a badge to make sure someone is motivated to save it, in case it can be saved. Even if that badge seems impossibly hard to get.

I don't know, really. From the UI, it looks like either I deleted it myself (which I don't remember) or the system deleted it automatically. But the question is not that on-topic, and it's not extremely useful either, so that's fine. I'll add an excerpt of the question to this answer. Dec 1, 2011 at 14:46

2@StefanoPalazzo A question is never automatically deleted if it has positive-score answers (in fact, it's never automatically deleted if it has any answers IIRC). If you feel your answer is worthwhile, please undelete it (or ask a fellow mod if you dislike the conflict of interest). Dec 3, 2011 at 0:28
No one has ever been awarded this badge on Ask Ubuntu. But, for example on stack overflow this badge has been awarded 143 times. So, there are possibilities to have it.
