You will have to contact Staff: Special:Contact

I've been given the impression that the data is archived, and can be retrieved.

I once asked for the data from a wiki which had been closed, and the dump unavailable, and was told that they would retrieve the archived dump and get back to me, but they never got back to me. I can only assume that the request got lost, but that the data was indeed archived.

A founder of a wiki does not have the right to arbitrarily delete it if it has content. (There's no magic founder-only "delete wiki" button, they have to put in a request to Wikia Staff like everyone else.)

The only time this would be done at a founders request is if it was empty, or the existing content was duplicated, or had been merged with another wiki, and there were no other active users.
