Why does it seem like the wikipedia mailing list is used to make implicit requests to delete or undelete articles in an under-the-table fashion?

It's a public mailing list there are far better ways to have things deleted under the table.

For some reason, my mind immediately goes to deleting people under the table.

Yes, if you want something deleted "under the table", as it were, send me a snail-mail note. A note wrapped around a $100 bill works even better.

Wikien-l is the place to make dramatic statements, not the place to be sneaky; its public archived nature makes it pretty bad for that.

If this is at all related to my recent post, I think it's worth asking people for their opinions here before jumping on teh deletinator^H^HAfD.

Everyday 8 pm, at RFC. Most nights feature the World's Smallest Violins(tm), as seen under an electron microscope, while the Missa Solemnis is to be musical accompaniment for the next userbox war.

In typical damatic fashion, there will be a local chapter concert in every timezone around the globe at 8pm local time. As particularly appropriate, the concerts in regions without a local chapter will be held by the mobile Redlink Players.

You know I actually queried that into wikipedia to see what it was before I had finished reading your two-sentence post. "WP:NOWC, I haven't heard of that one..."

No. Solemnly sending is just his way of trying to compensate for the dis-concert-ing experiences that he often encounters.
