Can I find out why this question was deleted and whether there are changes that could allow it to be undeleted? I have found an answer and would like to post that.

It was deleted because it wasn’t (answered, commented, nor edited) since it was submitted in November 2021.– RamhoundJun 5 at 2:44

@JoepvanSteen - No, when the question is deleted, it's hidden from other users and does not accept answers.– NewSitesJun 6 at 1:17

1@Mokubai - If it was deleted because it had no answers, and I want to answer it now, can you undelete it so I can answer it?– NewSitesJun 6 at 1:20

1The linked help article provides a link to this other question and one of the answers explicitly advises re-asking, so this should be an option.– Kamil MaciorowskiJun 6 at 15:41

1@JoepvanSteen - The author should focus on improving the existing question so it can be undeleted instead of submitting the same question that was already not answered after 2 years.– RamhoundJun 7 at 15:00

@Ramhound, but I can not even find that question anymore (following that URL) so assumed really deleted, as in gone. Can author still see and edit this question then?– Joep van SteenJun 7 at 15:24

https://superuser.com/q/1686639/116475 was deleted by Stack Exchange's automated question deletion script (aka, Roomba) as it has a score of 0, low views, no answers, and fewer than 2 comments.
Proposal: Decrease the required view count to prevent Roomba deletion when score = 0 on smaller sites
I've personally had well over 100 questions deleted by Stack Exchange's automated question deletion script.
