itanalot··on The tragedy of losing your Wikipedia page
As a deletionist on wikipedia, i regularly !vote delete and propose/nominate articles for deletion for several reasons, chiefly among them to preserve the perception of the project. many times these "articles" are nothing more than publicistslop the subject can then show others how important they are. not to mention having an article about you is a double edged sword, if you get any bad publicity it's essentially set in stone.
