Your article has been deleted under a process called WP:Proposed deletion or PROD, by which a tag or "template" is placed on the article giving reasons why it should be deleted. Anyone may remove the template, but if it is still there after a week the article may be deleted. You should have been notified and given the opportunity to remove the PROD: I apologise that you were not. The article will still be restored if you request it, either on my talk page or at WP:REFUND.

But I advise you not to bother, because it would simply be nominated again for deletion, by a different process, WP:Articles for deletion, which involves a seven day discussion. The problem with it is that, as an encyclopedia, Wikipedia only summarises things that have already been published - it is not a place for anything new or original. Two of its key policies are: The person who PRODded the article searched for any confirmation of what you wrote, without success, and so did I before I deleted it. If you can show any sources, you are welcome to put the article in again, and in that case I would restore it, if you liked, into your WP:User space where you could work on it.
 * WP:Verifiability: The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth; that is, whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true.
 * WP:No original research: Wikipedia does not publish original research. The term "original research" refers to material&mdash;such as facts, allegations, ideas, and stories&mdash;not already published by reliable sources.

The links above, particularly WP:Your first article, will tell you more about contributing. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 13:00, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
