I'm almost speechless with rage at Jimbo's unilateral deletion of the encyclopedia article [[Brian Peppers]]
It wasn't unilateral. It was an in-process deletion of recreated AfD'd content. Read FCYTravis' history of the article on the talk page.
From the history, I see that, while the first few AfDs were indeed
overwhelmingly in favor of deletion, and from what I hear about the content of the article at that time, it almost certainly deserved it. However, later versions became much more balanced and reasonable, and sentiment in the AfDs was turning more toward keeping. So, unless you hold to the view that "AfD is Forever", etched in stone and unchangeable for all time, there is some cause for rethinking the deletion at this point. After all, you yourself reopened the AfD for [[Jeremy Rosenfeld]] after a "Keep" result you disagreed with, so you clearly *don't* hold the opinion that AfDs are infallible or irreversible.
