[WikiEN-l] Conservative notice board

Mon Jun 19 01:55:18 UTC 2006

I have closed the deletion review of the "Conservative notice board"
under the so-called "Snowball" clause.  This was a wikiproject created
in bad faith by a person who spammed the talk pages of 52 other
editors saying that they had identified themselves as conservatives
and inviting them to join.

How this ever got to the stage of deletion review I have no idea.
There was never a chance that this bad faith project could be
accepted.  I have therefore closed the review, endorsing the deletion,
which was unquestionably correct.  By discussing the *possibility*
that it could ever exist on Wikipedia, we were giving the wrong
impression about the purpose for which Wikipedia exists, and saying
that we don't care about our core policies.
