User talk:JohnHPage/sandbox/State of Columbia

So having responded on my own talk page, I followed the instructions for the State of Columbia sandbox page -

"If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

and there was no "contest the speedy deletion button"

Please reinstate per statements on the proper and legal basis for the entry and let me finish my edits inserting all the notability references and submit for review.

Thanks
