Jussi, the Metapedia site was deleted because it has recieved little to none English-language coverage in reliable sources. Just because it's a wiki doesn't make it notable enough for encyclopedic treatment. Personally I think the site is covered under WP:FRINGE, and that as such a comprehensive encyclopedic article would be lending importance to this quack venture that simply doesn't exist.
I won't address the main substance of your argument, because when it comes down to it, on these things we have to all make our own determinations, and me saying that you are not entitled to yours, would be as bad as you saying I am not entitled to mine.
Purely out of curiosity, since I have seen it mentioned in numerous other instances, wherein does the requirement for coverage to be in the English language stem from? Or are you saying that that is the just way things happen in the real world? That regrettable as it is, Swedish language media coverage and legal investigation by a cabinet level official do not bestow notability, because neither the government in question speaks english, nor the media either.
