Why does it seem like the wikipedia mailing list is used to make implicit requests to delete or undelete articles in an under-the-table fashion?

It's a public mailing list there are far better ways to have things deleted under the table. -- geni

For some reason, my mind immediately goes to deleting people under the table. When BLP meets alcohol abuse! -Phil

Yes, if you want something deleted "under the table", as it were, send me a snail-mail note. A note wrapped around a $100 bill works even better. -- Mark [[User:Carnildo]]

Wikien-l is the place to make dramatic statements, not the place to be sneaky; its public archived nature makes it pretty bad for that. -Matt

If this is at all related to my recent post, I think it's worth asking people for their opinions here before jumping on teh deletinator^H^HAfD. -- Earle Martin http://downlode.org/ http://purl.org/net/earlemartin/

Everyday 8 pm, at RFC. Most nights feature the World's Smallest Violins(tm), as seen under an electron microscope, while the Missa Solemnis is to be musical accompaniment for the next userbox war. :-) Stan

In typical damatic fashion, there will be a local chapter concert in every timezone around the globe at 8pm local time. As particularly appropriate, the concerts in regions without a local chapter will be held by the mobile Redlink Players. -- -george william herbert george.herbert(a)gmail.com

You know I actually queried that into wikipedia to see what it was before I had finished reading your two-sentence post. "WP:NOWC, I haven't heard of that one..." :)

No. Solemnly sending is just his way of trying to compensate for the dis-concert-ing experiences that he often encounters. Ec
