It proves nothing about deletionism and it doesn't mean reliable sources suck either. It means the reason for a nomination actually has to be checked before an article is deleted. If the nominator says the site has no Alexa ranking you check the site to see if it actually is about the article's subject, and you check if a relevant site indeed has no Alexa ranking.
He tricked the real people in this debate because they were simply sloppy in handling it.
The rules are fine as they are as long as the deleting admin actually applies them.

The sooner we start making RS subject-specific the better. This nonsense has got to stop.
Exactly. Reliable sources suck! For web content, we should have less strict standards and allow regular blogs and forum/usenet posts as sources!
PS: I can't wait for the policy to change, in order to start writing a few articles about me and my blog, referencing them from the blogs of my friends and family.
