Hello Dear Syed Shanu 
I was really confused and upset from this matter.
On the one hand it was just a bit unfair to delete your article but on the other hand you are MVP developer and you should not delete all of your articles.
Your problem just was a challenge in your life and if they deleted your article it does not mean your value is low, it just means you have a lot reputation and just for the sake of this you should prepare so more valuable and very near to standard line article, just because you are a most valuable professional you have to decrease your fault or gap in your article, so please go on and correct it instead of deleting all of your articles, your articles are so precious and please think that how many people are using them and refer to your knowledge and by removing it you just deprive good opportunity from developer in order to using your articles.
I know that maybe someone`s points are not so kindly when they wanted to consider your deficits and they can behave more kindly but it is not a good reason for you to leave everything that you made them hardly during more years, but as I read comments I found out that Chris motivated you strongly to update your article, I think he just want to see your articles without any shortage and otherwise never ever he or his community did not select you as MVP.
I hope see your updated article and the rest of other articles that you have deleted as soon as possible.

I use 'extremely poor quality' to compensate that kind of voting...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Gone by now... the problem is the other 38 remaining. I know that face from other moderation items, I have tried to do my 5c but when it gets approved... all gets away.
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

It is.
Unfortunately there were too many high votes that still outweighed the low votes. A few more big guns downvoting would have tipped the scales.
However, the big guns brought out the really BFGs. The article is no more.

That's the one I thought of immediately. Also of many late nights at work playing on the PCs that had enough horse power to play the game decently.

What if votes placed by a gold or platinum member wouldn't be removed at all, regardless of high votes? I believe that could level the situation and votes from these members are more likely to be, how should I say, valid...

This wouldn't solve the issue with the given article. They were mainly low rep votes.

Why was it deleted though? It looks like a decent article, lots of effort, screenshots, code samples and detailed explanation. 40,000 views since December. 2000 code-sample downloads and 50 bookmarks. Can't have been bad enough to have got deleted surely?

His member profile says Legend even though his Article count is now 0. Should that be fixed or are you freezing his last known status?

Hi CodeProject team,
I am always searching for help and stuff on this site, and i love getting instant help from the contributors.
The only lag here is the rendering of webpages on mobile browser, so I would really appreciate if you'd come up with an app that works over my android mobile, so that i can stick to studying/learning on-the-go as well.
Kindly consider this as well.
Thanks & Regards,

Shashank, this is something that should be coming soon. A certain member of the community will be writing a mobile version to work on Android, iOS and Windows Phone.

OK - so nobody will ever be happy with the voting system, but how about this suggestion:
"Force" anyone reading an article to actively decide not to vote.
If they leave the page without voting, pop up and tell 'em "Thanks for reading, your feedback will really be appreciated. You can vote 1-5 or N/A - where N/A means this really wasn't appropriate for my needs or IO landed here by mistake.
Personally I would default the vote to 3 - but the N/A readers might just accept that which would skew the ranking so it may be better to default to N/A - but making it easy to vote (like maybe 5 buttons) would be imperative - with a text box for any comments (which, I suppose, could be mandatory under certain circumstances)
If everyone is forced to vote this would hopefully go some way to getting a more accurate feel of how useful/good the article is?

This will generate a lot of uninformed votes from those who go to an article via search, scan the first few lines, and then leave when they realise it's not what they were after.

True - but if they are all "N/A" votes - effectively a no-vote - then no change - but I would think it would also generate more votes in general which would help the "my mates all voted 5" situation
If (like me) your first thought is that it would hinder the awesome articles (like mine  ) well, I'm not sure that's the case - a user taking the option to change from N/A to a vote would at least be thinking about what they are voting for - and if that brings the votes down a bit then that's democracy at work!

Obviously I'm concerned about your awesome articles. That's really all this discussion comes down to, right?
My issue with a flood of N/As is that popular (by search engine standards) articles will have their ranking pulled towards 3.0. That's not exactly fair or accurate. Or desirable.
cheers

The N/A wouldn't count as a vote 'score' - so its the same as just closing the page without voting - but just gives that little push toward actually making an effort.
(just thought too, one should not be able to bookmark or download without voting!

Ah, so a prompt, a nag, more than anything.
Hmmm. Interesting.

I like the idea, but I would change "N/A" to "I don't feel informed enough to vote yet" or something along those lines.
