Hi Gheorghe,

Thanks for your message and support :)
The reason the page had no views before 4/29/2016is because its name has
changed that day [1], and we collect pageviews by name.

You can find the raw data using direct API calls ([2] for new name, [3] for
old name, only capital J differs ...), but I have not found a way to view
it properly with the pageviews tool.
Being able to request titles that are not current pages could be an
interesting feature request -- Ping @MusikAnimal ;)

Cheers !
Joseph
