This page was deleted because you had lifted whole sentences and paragraphs straigth from [1] and other copyrighted pages. Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources for the content, but must be stated in your own words, not with text taken from copyrighted sources (websites, books, newspapers, ...). If you recreate the article, with indication of the same sources, but in your own words, then it will probably be acceptable (as long as you also take care of WP:NPOV, our neutral point of view policy).
