Exactly. I still consider it a sign of systemic bias that none of the articles I've written have ever been *put up* for deletion, though finally some articles in a subject area I care about were deleted. Deletion is just a part of a cycle of things. English Wikipedia is far beyond the point where every edit is precious. Far more viable text is merely edited out of article, rubbed out and forever forgotten, every day than is removed via deletion. I worry more about Wiki rot than deletion, and especially more than nomination for deletion. I worry more about images lost and forgotten as a consequence of vandalism… etc. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
