Jimmy, you might be interested in this:
My intervention in the en case was based on there being a proper AfD result which was being overturned by people who were, in my opinion, just trolling. I feared (perhaps unnecessarily) a new wheel war over it, and stepped in to say, no the AfD stands, let's not go through repeated recreations and deletions.
This was, remember, just have the pedophile userbox war, and at the height of the userbox wars, which seem to be on the back burner lately, probably because the wave of immature newcomers has started to see the light and/or leave.
If I were voting to delete, I would vote to delete. But my action in that case had more to do with me trying to prevent what looked to me like a brewing edit war.
I also appreciate that it sets an entirely different precedent: that Wikipedia will not somehow explode in the event that we stop to think for a few months. :)
