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  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  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 Im reading the chain correctly  it was deleted something like less than  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 Id 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 boxs 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 dont 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
