Re: Editors not understanding the context?

I think the article was most likely deleted for being a "sub-stub" 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Stub#Basic_information , in that 
it didn't provide even the most basic information about the subject. In 
particular, the first line mixes present ("is") and past (a colony 
disbanded decades ago) making it impossible for the reader to reliably 
place the subject in time. Context was not misunderstood; it was simply 
not provided.
