Bose AfD could use attention from experienced editors Options

[SnottyWong]

There's an AfD running currently that is attempting to delete about 10 articles, which I feel is being somewhat railroaded by inexperienced WP editors. I'm definitely not asking anyone to come and vote the way I want you to vote, but I feel that this AfD would be quickly resolved if it got the attention of a few experienced editors. If you're up to it, have a look:

Thanks.

MY biggest problem with SnottyWong's post is not the canvassing but the time wasting.

I mean "Important AfD could use attention from experienced editors" led me to the assumption that this AFD was IMPORTANT, hence I read the thread.

Now I discover it is just someone promoting corporate crap on Wikipedia, which is a run of the mill occurrence that no person should care about.

This is not important, not a bit of it.

OK, I've just changed it to "Bose AfD" instead...

Would you say your estimation of the importance of such AfD's is generally held by most "experienced editors"? I'd assume it's important for people who work for Bose, and Bose is by all accounts a fine company with many fine employees who do many fine things for their numerous fine, happy customers. (Their putative Wikipedia-related activities aside, of course.)

I suspect by "experienced" I read "those with the wisdom of experience". My opinion is that those who have become wise by experience of Wikipedia will:

1) conclude there are important social and ethical consequences flowing from Wikipedia, and what corporate crap it includes or removes isn't among them.

2) probably have ceased a long time before to give a shit either way on such facile dilemmas.

Of course, my error is in equating experience with wisdom. There are plenty of counter examples around wikipedia.
