As a side-note have any of you noticed that the 9/11
Memorial Wiki has
not been deleted despite ample consensus being achieved towards its
deletion? Don't you guys feel that there were far greater tragedies
which occured during the 20th century-like World War 2 or the
Holocaust or the Nagasaki-Hiroshima Nuclear bombing, apartheid in
Africa, to name a few? Making such a big deal about the loss of 3000
lives while fully neglecting much more horrific incidents is a
shockingly clear example of how America-centric Wikipedia has become.
I urge someone to please delete this absurd memorial which seems (in a
way) to place the people who died on 9/11 on a much higher pedestal
than (for example) the 7 million who were murdered in Nazi Germany.
Anyone can start a wiki on any subject. If you feel that the tragedy
of the Holocaust, for example, is terribly underrepresented on the
internet, go start a wiki on the subject. The solution is to fix the
problem of underrepresentation, not to delete what is already
represented.
