@ff524 Hi. Did you reject my request to delete my question?
I requested to delete two of my questions, because they were downvoted and low visits were made to them. When community does not my questions; I requested to delete them.

Generally speaking, once you post some content here, you no longer own it

Q: Who owns the content I post?

Does Stack Exchange own the content that I post? What do I do if I want all of my posts and my user account deleted? Return to FAQ Index

It's up to the community to decide to delete these posts
Looking at your flag history, it looks like the moderator who declined the flag explained this in the reason for declining it
@EnthusiasticStudent
In particular, a moderator would almost never have a reason to delete a question that hasn't even been closed

My posts were useless and not helping to the site. I want to delete those posts of mine. What's the problem?

Other users of the site clearly feel they add value to the site, otherwise they would have been closed and/or not answered
It's also not fair to the users who answered these questions. Why should they have good, upvoted answers removed, just because you aren't interested in the question anymore?
If you want to get rid of all your downvoted questions, I suggest you try to improve them, rather than delete them.
FYI, here is a blog post explaining in more detail why users can't always delete their own questions
Blog - Stack Exchange: Adventures in Delclusionism
Jeff Atwood on January 24, 2009

In Wikipedia, there are two opposing camps: the inclusionists and the deletionists. I found Nicholas Carr’s definitions to be the clearest and most succinct:

Inclusionists believe that there should be no constraints on the breadth of the encyclopedia – that Wikipedia should include any entry that any contributor wants to submit. An article on a small-town elementary school is no less worthy for inclusion than an article on Stanford University.

Deletionists believe in weeding out entries that they view as trivial or otherwise inappropriate for a serious encyclopedia. …

The same logic applies to asking moderators to delete your questions...

@EnthusiasticStudent It is not really fair to the people who have answered your questions if we delete them. If the question is closed, then it can (and should) be deleted, but if it is open, it really should stick around.
If you really do not want it to be affiliated with your account, you can ask the SE team to disassociate the question from your account. They may or may not honor your requestion. You can make that request through the "contact us" link at the bottom of the page. The AC.SE mods do not have that type of power.

@Compass I deleted your comment
You might want to edit your response to be more professional. It distracts from the point you're trying to make. — Compass 2 hours ago
It was (and is) completely appropriate. There are concerns about the OP, based on the question and his profile, and we felt he may not be in the state of mind to see the criticism (despite it being reasonable).

@StrongBad Got it. No problems there.

@StrongBad I just asked to delete my downvoted questions, because I think, if a question is downvoted; it means that the community does not really need the question to be on site. If it wanted the question to be on site, it would for sure upvoted it.
@ff524
Of course I have upvotes besides to downvotes to the question I asked to be deleted.
But users are here not for that counter of their reputation, but because of the knowledge and valuable content they read here.
That is again, if a question was of value, they would for for sure upvoted it.
If they have downvoted to a minus number, they think my question is out of value and useless. Why should the site have a useless question?
By the way, in the last couple of days, I just deleted my downvoted answers because I think users are not interested in them; and I asked my downvoted questions to be deleted because I think they have no value for the site. As you can see, I never asked my upvoted posts to be deleted.
@StrongBad Also, I am not interested in un-affiliating my questions from my account.

@EnthusiasticStudent Questions and answers can be up/downvoted for several reasons, and some of them may not have anything to do with the usefulness of the questions/answers. Moreover, a question or an answer that do not draw much attention at a certain moment might become of interest at later times.

@EnthusiasticStudent you are missing the point. A down voted question with up voted answers means there is something valuable there (the answers) that would be bad to lose.
The down votes on the question could be for a number of reasons, but if someone sees the nugget in the question and provides a good answer, we want to keep the answer (and the question). Ideally you would edit the question to improve it since someone saw something there and people up voted that.
