		The article you created was just deleted?
		All is not lost. Here is what you can do right now:
		First, find out why your article was deleted: This log page, once you enter the name of your page, this will show you who deleted it and why. If the reason doesn't make sense, try clicking any links on the reason, or you can ask by typing {{help}} followed by your question on your talk page. Or you can ask any administrator to tell you why it was deleted.^[1] If you still think your article belongs on Wikipedia, you can try and fix the reasons it was deleted. Many administrators will be happy to give you a copy of your deleted article, either by putting it on a special user page for you (called userfication) or by e-mailing you a copy of your article. Once you have the article, you can try and resolve the issues. (Do this before you repost your article back under its name, or it may be deleted again!) If you've done all of this, or you believe the reasons for deleting the article were factually in error, you can dispute the deletion at Deletion Review. Generally, the burden will be on you to show how the previous deletion(s) were in error, but this is the place to resolve disputes about whether a deletion was indeed erroneous.

1. - If your article is deleted because of something called notability, it was deleted because you didn't give us enough information to confirm that people had published articles, books, or other publications to verify the claims your article made.

While this may not be possible for some subjects (your cat, your garage band), you'd be surprised how easy it is, and people are happy to help on the help desk or in projects like the Article Rescue Squadron if you ask politely and tell them as much as you can.
