while the bakery - and the review process - is far from perfect it's
worth noting the following (for the unknowing bystanders):

The article was titled "Simple Jquery Treeview Helper"
It didn't do anything that existing code doesn't already let you do
[1]
Jayesh did discuss his article with a core member in the irc channel
weeks before this post [2]

While the article shouldn't have been deleted without a comment to the
author (I don't remember, is the deletion of stale articles
automatic?) it wasn't destined to be published and Jayesh didn't do
anything about the articles shortcoming (which would be difficult
since the main problem was surely the tiny nature of the code and that
it repeats core - and other - existing functionality)
