Apparently, anyone can request an article deleted by PROD to be undeleted for any reason

Good, bad, biased, paid or what-have-you. There's an endless supply.

I am surprised at how much debate this has caused! The person requesting undeletion should at least do some work to find actual sources, instead of making arbitrary claims.

And I am not. PROD is one of their most idiotic creations. Few of their "policies" have been abused more frequently.

Look at the talkpage: 18 archives, covering squabbles going back to 2005. A LOT of squabbling.

Right at the top of the first archive (NO idea when this was written or by whom, it appears it was posted by long-gone admin "Radiant!" in 2006 but that doesn't mean anything).....

Delete per nom. Shouldn't have been undeleted after the prod. A complete waste of everybodies time.

At least this highly experienced user seems to recognize that prod has major issues. The prod policy should be redone entirely or eliminated.

The article is finally deleted. This took way too much time though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autistic_ ... ry_Network
