The mass removal of huge amounts of content by any mod is treated as vandalism -> VSTF attention. (It's a bit arbitrary but "author request" deletion has its limits in the mainspace.) It only had four pages, and when I got on today to try the method above, it was already closed because I deleted all of the pages and that apparently worked.
