Well yes, but - the community guidelines 1) aren't always clear, and 2) are subject to change.

last week, and it's no coincidence that games like Taffy Tales and Kingdom of Subversion were banned just a few days later.
Taffy Tales had been living on the edge for years now, yes - but the fact remains that the rules can change without warning, and that previously permitted content can now get your project banned. Remember how they banned incest in 2017?
Frex, the latest version of their rules even bans live action porn. Patreon hasn't banned porn as whole yet, but the rule changes are only getting more and more restrictive.
There also seems to be some iffy stuff going on, though. Word has it that Kingdom of Subversion was banned not because of any content in that game itself, but because the same dev had another project that did have rulebreaking content (in this case, incest). Now that's just a rumour, but Patreon's track record isn't exactly spotless when it comes to how they treat their content-producing clients.
Soooo, to answer OP's question...

Recently a game I followed got deleted from patreon.
What are actions one can take to keep Patreon from deleting the game?
There's really only one surefire solution: don't have any porn in your game at all, and don't have any other pornographic or potentially rulebreaking projects on Patreon.
(...even then you still have to be careful about the other rules, because the rules against "human abuse" and "animal abuse" are uncomfortably vague)
That said; the most vanilla categories should still be safe for the foreseeable future.
Unlike their counterparts at Gumroad, the Patreon executives still have enough working braincells to realize that porn is the cornerstone of their business.
OTOH the push for tightening the rules didn't come from Patreon, but from the creditcard and payment processor oligopolies. Patreon's hands are kinda tied here, and it appears that the creditcard companies aren't being very reasonable or sympathetic towards Patreon. So Patreon made it policy to err (read: ban) on the side of caution. And because of
that, it's entirely probable that there'll be further restrictions in the coming years.
