It proves nothing about deletionism and it doesn't mean reliable sources
suck either.
It means the reason for a nomination actually has to be checked before an
article is deleted.
If the nominator says the site has no Alexa ranking you check the site to
see if it actually is about the article's subject, and you check if a
relevant site indeed has no Alexa ranking.

He tricked the real people in this debate because they were simply sloppy in
handling it.

The rules are fine as they are as long as the deleting admin actually
applies them.
