Apparently there is some kind of coup on English Wikipedia where a large
group of administrators have decided that since the community disagrees with
them, they will use their admin powers to override consensus and policy. At
least that is what they seem to claim it is.

Specifically it is about mass-deleting articles about living people for the
sole reason of lacking sources.

Is there anyone here who can do something about this before it becomes an
even bigger wheel-war?
