☹ This user feels that deletions subject to a popularity contest rather than a verifiability test damage Wikipedia more than any userbox ever could.


Lately I've seen a large number of strongly biased admins and editors cropping up and recommending articles for deletion. This would not be a problem, but these admins and editors seem to only have a problem with certain articles from certain subjects, rather than adhering to the rules across the board. These recommendations of AfDs are unbelievably prejudicial, and it is this prejudice that must be avoided above all on Wikipedia, for prejudice of this sort harms our encyclopedia and its quality. How good of an encyclopedia will we have, and how will we be seen, when important fictional characters are prejudicially denied articles, while minor, absurd anime terms have full pages? How can we have editors and admins fascisticly and with blatent bias attacking one group of articles, whilst they turn a blind eye to other groups, whose articles are far less notable and far worse in quality? No, we are not a democracy by vote, but neither do we have totalitarian rule by the elite; our "primary method of determining consensus is discussion" (WP:WWIN). Please read the rule that "has always been", as it is important to grasp the original intent of the founders, and, I implore you, leave your personal vendettas at the cyberspace version of the door.
