Hello, Michigamee, thanks for contacting me regarding the article you created, Michigan Elk. I proposed this article for deletion because I viewed it as a content fork of Elk. The article was not deleted; however, it was redirected to Elk. You can access the previously-displayed information in the page page history of Michigan Elk, for example here. If you want this information to be included in Wikipedia, I recommend you discuss how it can best be incorporated on the talk page of Elk. If you still believe it should be included in Wikipedia as a stand-alone article, you should find reliable sources that demonstrate the subject is notably different from the article to which it's currently redirected; otherwise a future article on this topic may be deleted instead of redirected, and you would lose access to the page history.
One more thing; it appears you've been editing under two user names, Michigamee and Michigamme. I expect this was unintentional, but Wikipedia policy recommends editing under only one account except in unusual circumstances. You may want to stick with Michigamee, the older account. Please let me know if you have any more questions, or concerns I can address. Thanks for working with me on Wikipedia, and good luck! Baileypalblue (talk) 21:11, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
