deleted.
The unanimous vote to delete that article can only possibly mean one
thing: we've got a real problem on AfD. it's become a means by which
information is removed from Wikipedia for no other reason that brute
ignorance.
If pointing this out offends you, I'm sorry. There is no pleasant way
to put that bad news.
We've got problems everywhere. The question is which ones to worry
about the most and how bad the side effects of adopting certian
solutions would be.
Incerdently the article has been deleted again (take one sip). Did we
ever decide if the 3RR applies to deletion?
