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. Kelly Then exactly the same applies to deletion of links. This proves that if there is a well-organised mob opinion claiming to be a consensus, that a link isn't notable while an opposing one is, to argue with that view and reinstate the link for balance's sake is not "link spam" or a blocking offence. Least of all is it grounds for an admin-imposed block without any due processes,followed by a permanent block for the offence of claiming to have any rights against it. So Kelly has here proved conclusively that I was abused, and is proposing that Wiki's functioning pattern should incorporate that proof. ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get?
