Later on I found another version of the video in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3jijsPvp04. So we added this second URL to the Amara page and made it primary. As there was a difference in timing, we fixed the existintle subtitles, and other people di more subtitles.
Now this second YouTube page has ALSO been deleted, but the subtitles remain: they could be downloaded and used on a desktop (or another online) copy of the video. Or downloaded as TXT if you just want to read the content.
Please give me a concrete example, with the URL of the Amara page where the subtitles were made.

For example, we can search YouTube videos here (https://amara.org/en/videos/watch/). People make subtitles and upload there with the respective video. Those subtitle has noting to do with the YouTube. What if the video gets removed from the YouTube. We can't access the video by searching the web but what if i still want to get the subtitles as they are not liked with the YouTube. How to get them?

Thank you for the further explanation, Ali.
Taking an example I know (because I was involved in the subtitling), "Pompeii: Burried Alive":

No Sir, I want to know that how to search them. For example, there was Turkish television series "Fatmagül'ün Suçu Ne?" on YouTube and amara.org had many subtitles of this series in different languages. Now the whole series is not present on the YouTube. How can I search its subtitles of if got removed from here (amara.org) as well ?

Oh I see. Right owners of these Turkish series very often ask for their removals not only from YouTube, but also from Amara. So unfortunately there is no way to retrieve the Amara subtitles for these videos.
Sorry about that,

there is no way you can get back subtitles if you are not an amara member now

Not quite, harryking: Amara members and non members are exactly in the same position as to getting subtitles: if the Amara page is still online, even non members can download existing subtitles. If the Amara page has been deleted, nobody can download them, not even members

Thank you for reporting this, Ronan. If the Amara page was completely deleted at a right's owner request, I'm afraid there is no way to get your subtitles back. But you are mentioning maintenance, which seems different. Can you please indicate the URL of the Amara page?

thanks to you all but i've found a simple solution myself. as i said the video was removed from youtube but subtitles should be here and they are... you just have to remind the video exact name and search on google like "video_name amara" and the links will come which we can not directly search from the website.
amara should consider having advanced search...

True: the Google search you describe often works better than searching in https://amara.org/en/videos/watch/ . But I use both, often: i.e. if the Amara search yields nothing, I check with Google.
Amara search used to have more options (filters). But they were removed due to some glitches.

Taking an example I know (because I was involved in the subtitling), "Pompeii: Burried Alive":
https://amara.org/en/videos/0p0B0ceB1VdU/info/pompeii-buried-alive/ was create by Dwi Rianto using the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-nifgJUTlg URL, and he, Esther Premkumar and Istarted making subtitles. Then the YouTube video got deleted, so it no longer worked in the Amara page.
