Well, I don't know which Wikipedia you are on... Sure, discussion is a
strongpoint, but mostly they just function by giving the side who
happens to be in favor of the status quo a reason to revert everything
the other side does for not following due process and flaming over
such actions.

The current issue is that apparently on the Dutch Wikipedia proposing
that some page should be deleted is enough to be flamed at. Definitely
flaming *all* such people at once on the village pump seems to be
acceptable behavior. Well, as said, I am of the opinion that there are
things that don't belong on Wikipedia. But I seem to be in the
minority. Rather than eating up myself and get flamed, I prefer to
step out.
