I'm not really sure there's more to explain, Geo, and am surprised you wanted further clarification.  To me, it read like consensus was in firmly favour of deletion.  If we solely counted numbers, it was 15 to 7 in favour of deletion, and given that many of the keep arguments were quite flimsy (Keep, it is notable summed up a few of the arguments, and one was even down as a "weak keep").  I hope that clears things up. If not, you have every right to request a formal review of any deletion at Wikipeda:Deletion review.  ☎
