I point out that the editor in question is subject to an arbcom case right now regarding deletion and the railroading of "policy" to "win" debates. I think this incident would prove valuable evidence in that case.

The belief that certain verifiable, neutral, or potentially verifiable and neutral, articles must be deleted from wikipedia is one of the most seductive, most destructive siren calls on Wikipedia. All that stands in its way is the principle that we actually need a concrete reason to delete something: if in doubt, don't delete.
There is a move, mainly by a single editor but with some apparent support, to remove this pivotal phrase from our deletion policy, or to sideline it as a historical curiosity.
Please let us keep this. We don't delete stuff unless we have a bloody good reason to do so. Otherwise what's the point? _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@Wikipedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
