Ben Breedlove (T-H-L-K-D), posthumous YouTube celebrity.
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ben Breedlove (T-H-L-K-D) is pretty wild. Someone started a petition to save his article. I'm confused why so many people care. |

QUOTE(SB_Johnny @ Fri 6th January 2012, 12:06am)  QUOTE(melloden @ Wed 4th January 2012, 6:21pm) You actually read all that? Why? I read a few comments and realized no admin will be not lazy enough to actually close it without choosing no consensus. QUOTE She didn't create the article; she just wants to preserve it. The supporters who commented on her petition seem to think that deleting the article would be akin to deleting the memory of the subject's existence, and, according to them, he deserves to be remembered because he appealed to miracles and a deity to explain his life and purpose (and restored their faith). Yes, but that's not what I'm wondering about. There are people driven to contribute to Wikipedia like this lady, who is interested in preserving some type of content. Then there are people like Malleus, who are trying create other types of content. What drives her type to only care about Wikipedia when it's "doing something wrong" by deleting this article, as opposed to people who actually start to care about the website? |

Righting the wrongs of the society is a hallmark of the culture wars. She doesn't care about "Wikipedia"; she cares that her perspective wins. She sees the very existence of the article as indicative of her perspective. |
