Good question as you can see that similar deal posted for Lenovo ThinkPad L14 or ThinkBook 14/15 at similar or slightly higher price, are now Popular or FP and some were posted by me.
What I think happened here is deliberate downvoting by a certain group. Although not certain, we the regular posters here (but not working for SD), found out that there are at least couple of groups here, probably paid by some vendors, who at certain time, down vote literally all the deals posted in SD, probably for highlighting their product and removing these deals from plain view, as after some -ve, this won't show up in the deals displayed in the landing page.

I agree with your deliberate comment. I have stopped posting on SD years ago. The phenomenon was very suspicious. I would post something and it would get down voted to the death only for the same deal posted by *someone* else next day or later that day making it to FP. So, may be some commission based incentive.

E series thinkpads have always been questionable at best. Have around 10 e440s and similar gen e series laying around all with dead motherboards, charging ports, other physical issues not worth fixing at work. Meanwhile still have tons of x200s, t410s w520s etc. in use as testing laptops, never had one fail on me. I'm sure these have improved a bit, they have excellent keyboards and screens and are better then general consumer grade laptops but still use cheap plastic that gets dirty very quickly with fingerprints and isn't as ridged as the enterprise grade thinkpads. I don't think the downvoting is targeted and malicious like previous posters mentioned
