I generally feel we should blank articles more and delete them less, but this is an area where the explicit rebuff of deletion has its advantages.

Excellent piece. Â Especially the close about how it's a difficult position for PR professionals to report to the client that the article was deleted.

PR consultants should think twice before using Wikipedia to promote clients March 31, 2010
