You're supposed to be bold about *updating* articles, not *deleting* them!!!

That may well be true.
So did you copy the information on [[Fuck]] to [[Obscenity]]
and then make [[Fuck]] a redirect to [[Obscenity]]?
Or did you just delete the information?

(Here I am assuming that [[Fuck]] did actually have information on it,
and wasn't one of the "microstubs" that another thread is going on about.)
