 Why delete without notice? 

It is my understanding that articles are not removed without discussion or notification.   The flag itself assures this.   It has been less than 24 hours since I submitted my first wiki article - and twice in that time I have had my article removed  without notice,  without comment on my defense points and  without opportunity to make edits. (with the exception of one who answered my response back to them - and I thank them)  

I am new here.  I posted my article to wiki.   The first administrator came along and made a minor change to my title.   I had modeled my after multiple examples of others in the same industry as posted to wiki - but not really a big concern to me. Happy to learn best practice and perhaps the other 5 articles are not good examples.  

I then had a user flag my article for speedy delete. 

Very quickly - A second administrator deleted my article.  If I'm reading the chain correctly - it was deleted something like less than 10 minutes after flagged.   No one notified me. No one gave me the opportunity to make changes or instructions as to where the specific problem was.  

Per the ""item deleted"" page that suggests you work with the other parties involved, I first contacted the user that flagged my article and the administrator who deleted it.  The user said his concern was that it sounded to him like advertising and noted on what points.  I wrote a very detailed response to him telling why the information he noted was presented as it was, addressing his source concerns, etc..   He has not followed up with me - I assume that means no problem with my response?  Or perhaps busy doing other things.  

I also forwarded the defense response to the administrator who deleted my file.   Before sending the him points of defense (I was still drafting), he did send me a note saying it was an ""advertising"" concern.  He pointed me to a general help page (which I'd already read) and a page where I could retrieve the original version of my article.  Combined with the point to the article - and no reply to my defense - I took this to mean Go again with it.  

I reposted the article - and had another user flag it for advertising - but no specific information.  I removed the tag per the box's instruction that I could do so as long as working on resolving the problem.  I responded to the flagger in great detail and requested specific feedback.  (which was then deleted and marked as too much detail) I replied again in a more brief response.   I added the hang on notation.  

I am now addressing you because you have deleted my article - without any comment or notice to me.  I assure you that I am not being difficult - but am very frustrated with the lack of interaction and guidance I am receiving here.  It seems easy to hit a delete - but of little interest to provide anything specific like assistance.  Am I wrong to assume administrators are supposed to be a source for information and assistance - wiki mentors if you will.  My experience on my first day using wiki has been that administrators shoot first - and don't care in the least about even asking questions later.  In fact - they will ignore them.  

I do not believe you could have read the contents of the talk page in the period of time lapse between the flag and your delete.   I expect that before deleting my article - one would check the talk page and see if the matter is being addressed.  This is what the flag box ASSURES me that is wiki policy to do.  I have extensive notes on the article sources and answered all questions in a very timely fashion - but I cannot understand why I seem to be the only person following a procedure.  

I hope this is simply a matter of catching a couple of administrators on ""off"" days.  I am very frustrated with the lack of administrators following what I understand to be their own policies.   Please review my talk page and advise.  I also respectfully request that you reinstate my article.
I await your response."
