Yes, I fear
the BBC story is going to over simplify the issues in
order to keep outsiders interested and to allow them to understand it.
If they do find a "passionate Deletionist" then they will have
somebody very much on the fringe of the community.
Anyone want to sign up for the role then speak sweet reason?
(I would but I think people would choke if I put myself forward as a
"deletionist".)
Had they made a more general request I might have done, but I too
can't really describe myself as a deletionist, even in a very loose
sense.
I can pretend. :D
