Persons have recently taken to deleting pages totally (i.e. with the admin delete command) without any justification or even prior discussion as to why they are doing this. Pages that were deleted include [[Reasons for deleting page titles]], [[Wikipedia vandalism]], [[Vandalism/Talk]], TheCunctator's subpage of [[Wikipedia commentary]] listing pages that were deleted (unfortuantely I can't remember what its title was), and I don't know what else.
Unfortunately, when someone uses the admin delete command no public record is kept of what they deleted, so I don't know who did it. But I strongly suspect LMS. He insists he did not delete [[Reasons for deleting page titles]], and I'll have to give him the benefit of the doubt on that one. However, he said on [[Reasons for deleting page titles]] (a statement he later deleted from that page) that "I have indeed deleted several other pages though" and that he didn't know who had deleted that page. Why did he make these statements and then retract them? Did he mistakenly think he had deleted several other pages, or is he just unwilling to admit what he had done? And why did he delete the statement that he didn't know who did? Was it that he discovered who did it, but isn't willing to say so?
I have tried to raise this issue with him on Wikipedia, but beyond "I did not delete this page", he has had nothing more to say. I tried to raise the issue with him on [[Larry Sanger]], but all he did was delete my comment. When one is accused of deleting things without justification, deleting the accusation only lends credence to it.
