Why was I deleted?

I am "Steven Pederson" the subject of an article you deleted. (Yes, I realize *I* was not deleted, an article on me was deleted. However it does feel a bit like being srubbed into non-existence.)

The article wasn't a vanity article--I didn't create it, it was reasonably sourced, and I made it a point to leave it alone (resisting the temptation to update it and make it a vanity piece--my subsequent ventures have not been the source of independent coverage.)

I'm not any sort of member of the wikipedia community--have done no more than correct an few inaccuracies (unrelated to this), never before even needed an account. From what I can divine, the reason for deletion was so obvious that it didn't need to be explained. Well maybe to insiders. As a mere mortal who simply uses wikipedia as an information source... breaking all the links stands out as a red flag.

As I write this I realize that coherence to outsiders is a general issue, and you're just probably just one editor, not a spokesperson for the organization. But you DID delete the article so you're the touch point for wondering why....

Interestingly, the deletion didn't even make it into deletionpedia. Talk about ground into insignificance. ;)

Anyway, may I dare to ask: Why was I deleted? Austeve (talk) 22:34, 9 August 2009 (UTC)Austeve[reply]

BBUK 09

The protection runs out tonight, the last two years it has been usual to let the protection run out after the last day, as you were the last to protect it, could you extend it to midnight 4th September (or one minute into the 5th). Darrenhusted (talk) 13:56, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My account has been compromised (my fault really, I had a very simple password), and used maliciously in my absence. I apologize for any trouble caused under my name, and would like this arbcom case closed. I am available for questions, and would like to help clean up the crap that has gone on in my absence.Drew Smith What I've done 11:00, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

-== Sonia Sotomayor Supreme Court nomination ==
-Hello, I was wondering if you could temporarily semi-protect the article [[Sonia Sotomayor Supreme Court nomination]] over the next twenty-four hours. There is likely to be random IP vandalism, and is expected to be a high visibilty article as the event progresses in just a short time from now. I didn't want to add this to the Requests for protection page as I've been declined once before for something like this, and it ends up being vandalised to hell and back until hours after the event is already over, and a lock is finally added. (Shaheen Jafargholi's article was a prime example during the MJ funeral.) Anyway, sorry if it seems random that I contacted you, you were the first administrator I saw on the Requests page. Any help will be extremely helpful in managing the article, when the time comes. [[User:GageSkidmore|Gage]] ([[User talk:GageSkidmore|talk]]) 15:41, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
-:I am extremely familiar with the policy, thanks though. But, seeing as you seemed to be more accesible than the delayed response on the part of the RFPP volunteers as a whole, contacting you here would probably be better if it gets out of hand, which is almost certain. I hope you don't mind, as it would, again, be extremely helpful. [[User:GageSkidmore|Gage]] ([[User talk:GageSkidmore|talk]]) 15:48, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
-== IRC Cloak ==
-Hello Rjd. Tried reaching you on IRC earlier but to no avail... I noticed you were one of the group contacts for IRC. Since the cloaking request is down, do you know how I would be able to obtain one? Thank you! -[[User:Pax85|Pax85]] ([[User talk:Pax85|talk]]) 21:14, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
