Looking more at this, it seems that Wales has been given "credit" for
exactly this intervention:
"Wales has, in the past, instructed Wikimedia's system administrators to
implement software changes that constitute de facto Wikipedia policy
changes. For instance, in December 2005, in response to the Seigenthaler
incident, Wales removed the ability of unregistered users to create new
pages on the English-language Wikipedia. This change was proposed as an
"experiment", but has been in place ever since."
We have Wales to "thank" for the absurd "Articles for Creation" process (Is
that still around? I haven't checked in a long time.). Seems to me that
constitutes a "significant role in debates over inclusion deletion".
