Deleted User:Soumen_thakur

Sir,

Today it was very unfortunate to see that you have deleted my userpage (User:Soumen_thakur) mentioning the reasons: self-gratification, vanity, advert. (Vide deletion log "13:00, 19 September 2007 Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington (Talk | contribs) deleted "User:Soumen thakur" ‎ (self-gratification, vanity, advert)"

However, I had created said user page clearly following the guideline of wikipedia i.e. how to create a user page and I would like to mention a paragraph from the said guideline as quoted below,

".... Some people add information about themselves as well, possibly including contact information (email, instant messaging, etc), a photograph, their real name, their location, information about their areas of expertise and interest, likes and dislikes, homepages, and so forth..... "

Therefore, if one mindfully sees the content of the said page (deleted), it will clearly reflect that I have included more of my bio-data related information and about myself on that page but now it becomes confusing that you have deleted the page on the grounds viz. self-gratification, vanity, advert!?

As far as my knowledge goes I do understand that 'self-gratification' means, 'the act of satisfying ones own desires and giving oneself (himself) pleasure' BUT it is not understood how one can even term my "personal information" as a self-gratification, instead of treating the same more like a bio-data! Shall I, from now on, treat a 'bio-data' more as a self-gratifying content instead of considering the same as "personal information"?

You have also included the term "vanity" as one of the reasons for the concerned deletion while, according to my understandings, vanity means, "excessive belief in one's own abilities or attractiveness to others"! BUT I do not really understand that how a bio-data like personal information can be interpreted as my excessive belief in my own abilities!? This reason shown by you for the concerned deletion is very confusing to me but it does really enable me to realize what should have been the proper (ideal) page content, can you please throw some light on it?

And finally, the last reason for deletion stated by you is 'advert' BUT it would be my pleasure to inform you that necessarily an 'advert' is a public promotion of some product or service (generally for commercial purpose) OR a form of communication whose purpose is to inform potential customers about products and services, here please note the term 'customers'. And a customer is generally a buyer. BUT can you please explain me how the deleted user page was displaying my service for commercial purpose. Here, I would like to add that I (rather my business) have more than enough publicity in the print media here in national market and I don't think that placing an advert in the wikipedia user page would be of any commercial gain to me as the effectiveness of any intended advert here is almost nil (if not negative value)!

Therefore, considering the stated facts and circumstances, I can not really accept that said deletion was at all the act of an efficient administrator, however its my personal interpretation about said act and in this regard, I may not agree with your views.

So can you please enlighten me explaining what I should have included in my user page so that one would consider the same as a proper or near ideal content? What was wrong with the deleted page, any explanation?

Thanks & regards,
