Admin Forum:Is this the right place to request page protection or in the alternative to become an administrator?

A user has deleted a page I created and to my surprise there was no way for me to revert the deletion. All of the administrators, sysops and staff I have informed of the deletion and from whom I requested reversion I suppose were more concerned at the time about the Occupy Oakland events. I have recovered a copy to the page, however, along with all four comments which are supportive. I need the page to be protected either by an administrator of by becoming an administrator if I am going to recreate it so that I can protect it myself. Otherwise the user who deleted it will just delete it again. Thanks. --imho 10:53, November 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Another administrator can protect a page even if it's protected. 1358  (Talk)  11:06, November 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Xd: I take it you mean delete? Anyway, if the page was deleted by an Admin, you should ask them why. Becoming an admin yourself or protecting the page won't help much. - Tjcool007 (Talk) 11:15, November 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Pages are deleted all the time. You should ask the user who deleted the page why it was deleted if you don't know.
 * It seems you landed in a sort of edit war on this wiki with the admin. That admin does not think your recipe is living up to the standards set on the wiki, and you think that this is a healthy recipe, which should be added.
 * Since you already consulted staff on this issue, i think i leave it at that. I do think that 'healthy' is debatable however and is subject to different insights depending on background and culture.
