What I am doing to save this site.

We cannot let Wikipedia bury things over and over, like they tried with the Patrick Bet-David BLP (which is still standing....for now.)

Agreed. That was the THIRD AFD for Bet-David's article. Obviously the insiders dislike him and want to "vanish" him, and obviously (made inescapable when the Bushranger crawls out of his hole to vote DELETE, he is still one of the pettiest assholes they ever had around) it is for political reasons. They despise video bloggers like this, who give plenty of time to right-wingers and conspiracy freaks.

Remember, they tried to do the same to Joe Rogan......REPEATEDLY. This is not "writing an encyclopedia", this is "trying to disappear somebody we don't like". And it is practically a daily occurrence. But you have to dig around to find cases.

Need more examples of petty wiki abuse? Look thru the AFD log since 2005. You will find plenty of tiny little wars, conducted by tiny little nobodies, buried in a haystack of angry typing.

Huon, you should know by now that various outsider people have proposed Wikimedia "reforms" before you. Not a single one of them led to anything. THEY ARE A CULT, and cults always operate in a top-down manner. Insiders "invent" something (Wikidata, Flow and Visual Editor being obvious examples) and they try to cram it down everyone's throats. Sometimes successfully and sometimes not. Visual Editor was a giant disaster, and we know exactly who pushed it: James Forrester. One of the WMF's longest surviving employees. Also one of the most evil little bastards I've ever seen in wiki-land. The finest of Jimmy Wales's retinue of deep-embedment ass-kissers. HE SHOULD BE FIRED. But he remains.

Those "wars" are exactly what happened when I nominated some useless transformer character articles for deletion.
