Cheers Sir Sputnik. That was very helpful. It's a shame, as I spent an hour creating that page. As you may have gathered from my user page, I take a keen interest in lower league football teams. No offence to you, but I think this system is ridiculous. No matter how lesser known a footballer is, creating a page for them nevertheless benefits Wikipedia. The state of the lower league footballer pages on here is currently appalling, and if pages like mine keep being deleted, Wikipedia is going nowhere. There seems to be no reasonable explanation for why lesser known players shouldn't be represented. I'm from and live in England, but I don't see any reason why LOI players shouldn't have pages. In fact, others already do have pages which aren't being removed. 

Besides, no need to worry any more, I've been blocked by Bwilkins for no apparent reason.
