Good question.  
I have no “Guidelines” in the About page, but let’s assume you meant FAQ. 🙂

I don’t know any fast way to recover a deleted topic as they don’t appear in topic lists, as opposed to posts.

But they are auto-generated when a new Discourse instance is created. They may share the same ID on every Discourse instance unless the FAQ URL was manually changed.

Try opening `https://yourforum.com/t/5` and see if it opens the deleted FAQ topic.

If you want to link FAQ to a new, arbitrary URL, you can look for the **faq url** site setting 🙂
