Annoyed by #Wikipedia #deletionists. Created article on @KWLinuxfest, tagged "request for *speedy* deletion" in 3 hrs, gone 4 hours later
-
The #deletionists claim the topic is of no importance or significance. How do they know? Their user page shows they're not from KW
-
After RfD I added a paragraph that @KWLinuxfest is the only remaining GNU/Linux conference in #Ontario. Got deleted anyway.
-
@bobjonkman Wikipedia is an intensely political place.
-
It doesn't even meet the #deletionists own criteria for "importance or significance" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CSD#A7
-
7 hours! No chance for anyone with knowledge of @KWLinuxfest to contribute, and improve the article.
-
Had a look at the user contributions of these two #deletionists — mostly deletions and reverts. No surprise there
-
@bobjonkman Yeah, #deletionists and the #deletion_wars they spark are one reason a lot of people don't contribute to #Wikipedia. I know they prevent a lot of spam and self-promotion, but they may be too aggressive sometimes. otability / sign…

I'm not sure how to appeal this; if I just recreate the article I'm sure be flagged as a spammer. #deletionists

The article on @KWLinuxfest used to be at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KW_Linuxfest

Now all that's left of @KWLinuxfest is https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/delete&page=KW_Linuxfest #deletionists

I've complained about #deletionists before, but it's only gotten worse since then: http://sn.jonkman.ca/conversation/708303#notice-1113373
-
And I'm not the only who thinks #deletionists are harmful: https://boingboing.net/2017/02/16/40-of-wikipedia-is-under-thre.html
-
And, funny thing, I've been a #Wikipedia editor maybe longer than some #deletionists have been alive! Any 15yo with a Del key can play

♻ Sunflower @keeferrourke: I have a Wikipedia account and could contribute to the page probably. It might also be worth sending a notice to kwlug-disc about this. ¶ via #Twitter https://twitter.com/keeferrourke/status/901495249842864128

Good idea, @KeeferRourke! But how can we restore the @KWLinuxfest article? I could recreate it, only to give the #deletionists more ammo

♻ Марсио Baрbado, Jр. @mbjunior: Detetionism is a Wikipedia thing. Both bots and humans perform it. And yes, it sucks. ¶ via #Twitter https://twitter.com/mbjunior/status/901500354591903744

♻ Sunflower @keeferrourke: interesting that the #deletionist does not welcome discussion on their talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Alex_Shih ¶ via #Twitter https://twitter.com/keeferrourke/status/901504960394932224

♻ Sunflower @keeferrourke: Do you have a copy of the article still? Perhaps I could post it, mention the deletion in the talk page, and you could contribute to it? ¶ via #Twitter https://twitter.com/keeferrourke/status/901505205648445443
-
No, of course I didn't keep a copy of the @KWLinuxfest article. Things posted on the #Internet are there forever, right? @keeferrourke
-
♻ Sunflower @keeferrourke: At any rate, regardless of who recreates the page, I think it should still be recreated. Calling out the deletionist on the Talk page is probably the best idea here. Particularly emphasise the uniqueness of the con…
-
Since nobody had time to improve and expand the @KWLinuxfest article, I should be able to re-publish it. #deletionists @keeferrourke
-
But not on #Wikipedia.

♻ Andrew Sullivan Cant @andrew_s_cant: Is there are link for the deleted page, to see the justification for deletion? Maybe its something we can address. ¶ via #Twitter https://twitter.com/andrew_s_cant/status/901539335408943104
-
m♻ Andrew Sullivan Cant @andrew_s_cant: NVM I found it. Its like the deleter believed the event just did not happen to not meet the criteria ¶ via #Twitter https://twitter.com/andrew_s_cant/status/901543565544890368

@bobjonkman re-create it on https://everipedia.org/ ?

♻ Laurel L. Russwurm @laurelrusswurm: That's why I contribute so little to @Wikipedia. It's not the work, it's that I've better things to do than stave off deletionist cliques. ¶ via #Twitter, because I haven't fixed the #Twitterbridge o…

♻ Laurel L. Russwurm @laurelrusswurm: It's easier to tear down than create. ¶ via #Twitter https://twitter.com/laurelrusswurm/status/901571855731044362

♻ Silverwizard @HippyWizard: #Wikipedia #deletionists are actively stupid and pro-ignorance, it's the only explanation ¶ via #Twitter, 'cos his #Friendica instance is down https://twitter.com/HippyWizard/status/901572815668826117

@bobjonkman Unfortunately, some people do not believe it should be easy for others to find desired information. #Deletionists == gatekeepers of public-access information.
