I'm a "deletionist".
I want to delete Wikipedia and replace it with a resource that applies professional standards. With any luck, and with the advent of Google Knol, improvements in access to Britannica or something similar, I might get my wish. I can't help you rescue Wikipedia. Sorry. |

Would you agree that the triumph of "deletionist" philosophy would at least improve Wikipedia? |

Hi Jon, I've heard so much about you- all good of course (well, on here anyway)
I'm a deletionist, though not as much as Kato. I want to delete bollox from the wiki. |

This John Awbrey is clearly a sockpuppet of an established user. He knew how to edit a post within just over an hour of joining. Somey: RfCU!

Someone ought to create an ad-supported "cruftwiki.org" to transwiki articles to instead of deleting them.

money, space, bandwidth, time, legal considerations (would need to get a lawyer in case of lolsuits).

No, more like psyborg-stalked, but I knew I could throw them off the trail by adopting this clever diss-guys. Ya really gotta keep 'em guessing — it's the only thing they know how to do.

So apparently he's not living in England in a similar way, or else apparently located in the same state as a banned user? |

I wonder if I could swing a deal with Sue Gardner to automatically transwiki to Wikipedia Review.com the deleted BLPs and corporate non-notables? We could slap on a specially-accounted Google AdSense ad on those articles, and I'd share revenues 50-50 back with the WMF. Think she'd go for it? Greg |
