Deleting encyclopedic articles harms the encyclopedia. Just because a "consensus" of professional deletionists decide that some article or another isn't "notable" doesn't make it unencyclopedic. See Snowspinner's post that started this iteration of this discussion.

So instead you want to give more power to admins? Wikipedia descisions are not made by professional professional deletionists. Most seem to be made by random peopel who just happened to find out about the deleteion listing. As for your claim "Deleting encyclopedic articles harms the encyclopedia" it can only be true if you assume that survival of the fitest type evolution does not apply to wikis.
