For your pasta's specific deletion log entry, it should be the text in parenthesis and italics right after "AdminX (talk) (contribs) deleted page Y", like this: (reason), or more commonly (reason: content was: [insert page text here]). This can be viewed simply by visiting the place where the page used to be, or by perusing the deletion log. Although if it was deleted by me, it is likely that I didn't leave a reason. If that's the case, any specific deletion-related questions can be asked here (the general reasons for deletion, i.e. quality control, are already covered at the top of that page).
