  Wikipedia:Speedy deletions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If your article was not a test, you may have created a page that met the criteria for speedy deletion.
Replace Reason with the reason why the page should be deleted under the speedy deletion criteria.
If the page to be deleted is directly related to a specific user or that user's activities, consider moving the page to that user's personal userspace (and deleting the redirect) instead of deleting it outright.

 Wikipedia:Deletion_policy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Conversely, if an article is repeatedly nominated for deletion, this is not in and of itself evidence that it should be deleted even if there are valid concerns about the quality of the article.
In general, if an article has been discussed at Articles for Deletion and the discussion did not result in a "delete" decision, the article should not be immediately renominated for deletion, because unless there is a good reason for people to change their minds, the second nomination would be identical to the first one.
Once a page is listed for deletion by listing on one of the different pages, the nomination is kept open for a period of time to allow for community comment.

 Wikibooks:Deletion policy - Wikibooks
However, consider deleting redirects that make it unreasonably difficult for users to locate similarly named pages, if they are offensive and not useful, or if they are self-aggrandizing, advertizing, or primarily for promotion.
Do not delete a page containing a personal essay or other content from the main module namespace without first posting a copy elsewhere, for example in a different namespace, on the user's page or a subpage, or on Meta, unless the content is simply vandalism.
Ideally, when a sysop deletes a test page or other page with no useful content, it is a good idea to put a note on the author's talk page explaining things, pointing them to the sandbox in cases of tests.

However, there was a clear consensus that the article would have merited deletion if it had not had the former content (now restored) that describes the economist.
I did not delete the economists page as a matter of fact on both pages initially I had a redirect to the other in order to solve any confusion.
However it was deleted, I'm assuming because of the brevity of the article, not the significance, and in its place I copied and pasted the Nicholas Stern article in, as the other was now gone.
