Talk:D. B. Drumm

Hasty deletion
This article was recently speedily deleted.

In the past, I would spend a good amount of time adding one or two sources to the article, because I know how draconian and hasty the deletionists are. This time I was working on another bigger and more important project, and so I thought I would add a couple of lines of text, hoping that someone else in the future would expound on these edits.

Unfortunately, these two admins destroyed any chance of this article becoming anything more than a stub. I am reminded of the brutal oxymoron, "We had to destroy the village to save it". I know that many of these admins verbally, and some even in their heart believe, they have the best interest of wikipedia when they are destroying portions of wikipedia.

With admin beahvior like this, it is no surprise that the number of editors to Wikipedia is plummeting, while the number of bureaucratic rules is soaring.

Today, the only way that anyone can ever start an article anymore is if they have at least two sources and write at least a lengthy paragraph. With this requirement, 90% of the articles on wikipedia today would have been deleted before.

I am not going to argue wikipolicy. This stub is not that important too me. This is simply another small example of what is deeply wrong with Wikipedia. Tissuebox (talk) 21:53, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
