And if you come up with proof of relevance, your work will still be
for naught if the howling boeotians refuse to recant their delete
votes.  And any admin who dares disregard a numerical consensus to
delete when the minority side has a valid argument to keep will be
wikisued: ask Tony Sidaway about this.

There's a lot of editors and admins who've given up on VFD/AFD
precisely because of the problems Stan is talking about, including
many of Wikipedia's best editors.
