I'm not sure if WP:NPA applies to the mailing list, but calling people assholes is uncalled for anyway. If you want to discuss the deletion that's fine, but please don't resort to name calling.

One suspects they are at a loss as to why Wikipedia needs an article on a traffic circle which isn't even there any more, having been replaced by a set of traffic lights. Unfortunately none of the articles (except that for Flemington, which looks interestingly like "Hangar Lane" here in England) manages to establish just WTF is so interesting about these particular traffic circles.
They are local landmarks. People call them by those names even when they no longer exist. Other things are named after them.
To paraphrase something I read in a book somewhere (Miles Vorkosigan IIRC) you don't come to Wikipedia to learn about stuff you already know, you come to learn stuff you **don't** already know.
So you live in Freehold and want to know why an intersection is called Freehold Circle. Too bad, the assholes deleted the article. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@Wikipedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
