The entire content of the first version to be deleted? "Makmende. Kenyan Superhero. Spawned. Not born. Amphibious. Breaths underwater."
I have a problem with this admin comprehending what exactly "Vandalism" means. In what way is the initial version "vandalism".
If I cared enough I would suggest that re-training might be appropriate here.

The third incarnation of the article (the one that was labeled "vandalism") was labeled as a "hoax" under CSD G3 by an IP editor. It looks like the admin meant to delete it as a hoax, but picked the wrong option from the drop-down box -- G3 covers both "vandalism" and hoaxes, and there are separate deletion summaries for each.
As for whether it's a hoax, obviously it wasn't a "hoax"; that said, most of the article is written almost like a fictional story, and it could have come across as a hoax or something similar, particularly on first glance. Also, it was a copyvio, exactly like the second version that was deleted. So to me, it looks like the admin made the right call, but the reason given for deleting it was incorrect.

Please consider that this is foundation-l and for many people CSD G3 is pretty meaningless Cruccone

But we are talking about en's deletion procedures. Not being able to work out what G3 is could make this tricky.

What I was meaning is that if you talk about a specific process of one project on a more general mailing list, because you think that the problem goes beyond that project (which I agree) you need to let everyone understand what you're talking about. En.wikipedia does not own this mailing list. Cruccone

Actually one of the points of this debate is that it does. The article we are debating is on en not Swahili. As a result it appears that en's policies and actions that will shape the foundation's future in the relevant area.
