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 !
