My question* (10k+ link) was deleted by Community♦. Why?

I searched a little and found reasons for deletion like rejected migration or account deletion. But I can't see why my post was deleted.

I don't care about it being undeleted. I just want to know why. And in the process I would find it great if we display a reason when a question gets deleted out of the blue.

* 1 month old, 2 up- and 3 downvotes

  • @Shog9 wow I wasn't aware it's active here on Meta - it means tons of not-so-popular feature requests are being wiped, I don't think it's right.

  • Meh @ShaWizDowArd, we're usually not a quiet bunch. I don't think that answerless requests are all that common.

    @Bart feature requests usually receive only comments, especially if not so popular, don't think they deserve insta-death like that.

    @Shog9 and what you think? Do all of them really deserve to be deleted? I've seen some cases of negative scored requests being eventually implemented. Good example.

  • Eh; there are some decent ones and a lot of dups, @Sha. Critically, none of them managed to attract any answers (though in some cases an awful lot of comments were generated). There's an argument to be made that a poorly-received proposal is better off removed so that someone else can write a better one - sometimes, the way in which something is suggested does more to bury an idea than the nature of the idea itself.

  • Heh... In your case, that stuff's all gonna change soon anyway - best see how that pans out before suggesting tweaks.
