On my wiki where I am the admin, when I move to delete an article and it asks me to give a reason, one of the choices is "Author Request". I tend to take things literally, so when I see "Author Request" under "Deletion" I think, "the author requested this article to be deleted, therefore it was deleted". Apparently I'm not right on this? What does Author Request mean, then?
