Not sure what to tell you on this. Some people nominate articles for deletion if they feel is it not about a notable person or topic. The first paragraph of Meta:Deletionism describes this as follows:
Deletionism is a philosophy held by some Wikipedians that favors clear and relatively rigorous standards for accepting articles, templates or other pages to the encyclopedia. Wikipedians who broadly subscribe to this philosophy are more likely to request that an article that they believe does not meet such standards be removed, or deleted. Conversely, Wikipedians who believe that there ought to be a place for an article on almost any topic in Wikipedia, and that there should be few or no standards barring an article from it, are said to subscribe to inclusionism.
I tend to be an inclusionist and in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kirk Fraser I voted to keep the article, but it seems the deletionists won that debate. I think it is ridiculous that an article can be deleted from Wikipedia based on the votes of only 3 people, but I don't make the rules here. Your next step would be to request a deletion review. -- Zyxw 04:06, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there; you have posted a question about this article on my talk page. Before I answer, could I ask you to always sign your messages, either by typing ~~~~ at the end, or by clicking on the icon, which you will see at the top of this page. Now, to answer your question. Your article was referred to WP:AfD (Articles for Deletion), and with a very small vote (3 for deletion) it was determined by the closing admin, who was not me, that the article should be deleted. Once this has happened, reposting the same article is guaranteed to trigger an immediate delete, which I and after me two other editors have done. The AfD decision, of course, did not relate to the spelling of the name but to the content. Your only meaningful approach, as suggested above by Zyxw is to describe your problem at WP:DRV. The alternative would be to recreate the article from scratch under the correctly spelled name, but as that article already exists as a deleted page (being a redirect to the incorrect spelling) you would need to be very quick in posting an explanation on the article's talk page to prevent automatic re-deletion. It would be possible. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 17:11, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
