Some anonymous person has placed a deletion request on this article, claiming that it is "blatant advertising".
I don't see what they are talking about, this article is about a collection of materials at a public University Library -- they do not do any advertising at all, they have nothing to sell, they are a publicly-funded library.
This person also says that this is "non notable", which is contradicted by information in the article itself. This collection is one of the largest of its kind in the United States, and probably in the world. Surely that is enough to make it notable?
Bigots used to just vandalize GLBT articles with crude additions, but Wiki page protection now stops that quickly. Their new technique seems to be trying to get the articles deleted entirely. The Tretter collection contains a scorched & smoky book rescued from the Nazi book-burnings of the 1930's. Please don't let the electronic equivalent destroy this article.
