Hello, Lostscribe, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from User talk:Black Kite. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

User:Black Kite only deleted that article because that was the consensus at the deletion discussion; none of the people voting 'keep' used any reliable sources or Wikipedia policies to support their votes, so they don't count. I doubt he has any person feelings about the article at all; when we administrators close deletion discussions, we simply read the discussion and carry out the expressed consensus of the community. If you think this mall really does meet the notability criteria, you can gather your sources and request undeletion at deletion review. We'd always rather keep articles than delete them, if we can find sources that allow us to keep them. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 01:22, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lostscribe. I suggest you ask an admin to move the deleted article to your userspace. If you can find additional sources or figure out a way to merge it somewhere it doesn't have to be lost forever. Things aren't nevessarily deleted permanently here. I understand you're frustrated, but there may be a way forward or other article projects that would be rewarding. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.
