This is an end-run by SimonP and the people who hold the opinions he holds, to set their, and only their, approval on VfD.
I proposed this, and I have no idea who the hell this SimonP is. If you're going to condemn the proposer of this, please refer to something I've actually done or said.
I believe it was SimonP himself (forgive me if I'm wrong) who, in his position as sysop, was making personal opinions on whether or not articles which HAD consensus to be deleted, should remain in the encyclopedia solely because HE did not believe that the reason for listing was valid, even though there were sufficient votes for removing the article. Instead, he was deleting the completed votes without deleting the articles in question.
Which is why the nominations that shouldn't have been there in the first place shouldn't have been run through the page.
Is the [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy]] actually of any importance, or is it purely decorative?
