Protesting the speedy deletion of Bfpage/sandbox/Vane-Wright

This content was contained in my sandbox. How is it possible to speedily delete the drafting of an article in a user sandbox?. I am removing the the speedy deletion template and I marking this sandbox to be entirely deleted because now the contents are gone. Thank you for reminding me that the best way to work on an article is off-line in a wordprocessing document. The policy of speedily deleting sandbox pages should be re-examined. I would like to discuss this practice on the appropriate noticeboard. This practice would be extremely discouraging to a new editor who is told that article creation should be done in the sandbox. I am assuming that the proposed deletion was done in good faith, but I certainly question the practice and the person who tagged it for speedy deletion. Best regards,

Despite the clumsy title, the article was in main space and not your user sandbox. Anything in article space is fair game for review and deletion nomination. I am sorry if your work has been lost but it would not have happened if you had correctly labelled the article. WWGB (talk) 21:08, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
