"Why are some weird Wikipedia pages yanked into oblivion?"

Because no one else is doing it--not even the media.

Dead typical of what lazy journalists write about WP. Instead of finding someone who has criticized WP in the past, and perhaps getting some actual truth, she talks to one person: a Wikimedia employee. Who feeds her the usual "Wikipedia is good because reasons" bullshit.

And said lazy journalist misspells WMF employee's name. Freudian slip of the month. lol.

If you want your articles to stick around, Lies says, it helps to work with editors to add citations or emphasize an encyclopedic tone.
