Why should it be here?

That's not the question to ask when deleting posts. The question to ask when deleting posts is whether there's a reason to delete and hopefully whether that reason is based in rules that can be understood.

The karma system exists for punishing low quality content.

To be fair, the karma system failed in this case.

(Not to say I agree with the deletion of the post, but it sat safely at positive karma when it got taken down.)
