Absolutely not. It is a fact that an article is being kept in a location against the explicit rules in the MoS but a vote of users of one particular language, many of whom seem intent on putting their defence of that language above Wikipedia's own rules.
Are you familiar with the idea of 'consensus'?
The 'users' of a particular language - would that include anyone (like me), an anglophone who happens to have reasonably fluent French?
The trouble with the acrid tone of all this campaigning is three-fold:
- firstly, demonising anyone who happens to speak French is clearly going to be more damaging than any _conceivable_ gain;
- secondly if the CIA says CI and the Library of Congress IC/CI then there is probably something on both sides, but in no way justifying a 'steamroller' voting process which will not do any consensus-building (as a name CI -brackets-IC might);
- thirdly, this is all one of Ed Poor's maleducated mares-nests anyway, designed to split people along wacky doctrinaire lines.
