So, you don't fit my most common reason for deleting articles, but you still aren't too happy with me? Let me make a few suggestions.
- You should carefully read the messages at your user talk page. I don't often delete an article without leaving a message explaining why I deleted it. If I linked to a Wikipedia policy, read the policy- chances are, it'll explain exactly what rule I thought your article broke.
- The most common reasons that I delete articles are failure to assert notability and advertising. Check those two policies out and ask yourself honestly if either of them applies to you.
- I am very wonderful, but I have been known to make a mistake from time to time. If you think I made one this time, leave a message on my talk page and let me know what my mistake was. It will help if you understand the rule I thought you broke, and can explain why I was mistaken. It will also help if you assume that I didn't do it on purpose and are polite to me. I may be a Wikipedia administrator, but I'm a person with real feelings, too. If I messed up, I'm sorry, and I'll do my best to fix my mistake.
Example of a message that probably will get your article undeleted
editHi, FisherQueen! You deleted my article, Devil's Dyke. I can understand why you thought that the article was a hoax, but, believe it or not, it's a real place! In fact, you can find reliable sources that describe it at Mysterious Britain and at this restoration project site. Are you willing to undelete the article so I can keep working on it? -FriendlyN00b (talk) 17:51, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

editHow stupid can you be? Trust an American not to know anything about British geography. Undelete Devil's Dyke this minute, you horrible slag, or I'll report you to the authorities. -MeanN00b (talk) 17:51, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
