This is incorrect. I was in IT for 40 years. As long as the wipe process OVERWRITES all date, there is no way to pull that data back.

Neither formatting or deleting a partition remove data so yes, in this case, data could be retrieved. If you wipe with full overwrite, it's impossible as the original data is no longer there.
