The relentless discussion about deletion that I am
just catching up
with on this mailing list prompted to review a deletion decision that
got on my nerves back in June. "Full nice handbag co" was a pathetic
little article about a textile company in Hong Kong. It was never much
of an article, but it was real, neutral, factual, verifiable. It was
very narrowly VfDed (with a small majority of about 55-60% voting
delete) on grounds of non-notability. Following deletion, I objected
at VfU - my grounds for undeletion were that the reasons for deletion
were so tenuous (see below) and the majority so small that we should
have erred on the side of caution and kept the article
I'm not sure if things have changed since I stopped being as heavily
involved in it, but I was under the impression that a 55-60% margin
wasn't considered enough to delete. I know I personally don't delete
things unless it's more like a 75% margin or more. Perhaps someone erred?
