Deleting encyclopedic articles harms the encyclopedia. Just because a
"consensus" of professional deletionists decide that some article or
another isn't "notable" doesn't make it unencyclopedic. See
Snowspinner's post that started this iteration of this discussion.
So instead you want to give more power to admins? Wikipedia descisions
are not made by professional professional deletionists. Most seem to
be made by random peopel who just happened to find out about the
deleteion listing. As for your claim "Deleting encyclopedic articles
harms the encyclopedia" it can only be true if you assume that
survival of the fitest type evolution does not apply to wikis.
I concur. There are too many people shouting "OMG ROUGE ADMIN" already.
