After reviewing the deletion, I think the error is technical.  I am on a Hughes Sat network that uses transparent proxies.  This was causing me to log in and out from page to page.  The original article which was not the correct article went through and posted when I switched to SSL wiki server.  This was unexpected, and as I was editing the article to the correct format it was deleted. (roughly 60-90 seconds from the originally post)   Due to this technical error the correct post was never entered into wiki.

This would have been the correct post if the article had not been deleting during editing and if I had not had technical issues which inadvertly caused me to post the incorrect format of the article.

The Clifton Steamboat Museum

So I think I understand why my original post was deleted - basically because I was unable to enter the correct article within the 90 seconds from creation to deletion.  If this is correct, can you please tell me if this article would be acceptable.  I plan on adding bio's for all the museums artist's, so please let me know where, if any, I am not in compliance with wiki.

Sincerly
