User:El Sandifer/Infallible deletion is observably true

(To think otherwise is a direct personal attack on our dedicated crapflood-screeners.)

Usually the Wikipedia deletion process works.

Somtimes, the Wikipedia deletion process produces results so brain-scarringly stupid they have to be seen to be believed.

In really fun cases, the Wikipedia deletion process produces results so brain-scarringly stupid they have to be seen to be believed, and then holds to them while screaming "The process was valid!"

Some gems.

Undeleting LeveL (webcomic)
The comic was speedied as copyvio. Permission was granted, and a request to undelete the comic was made. I undeleted the article, and noted "Done" on the deletion debate. At which point two people began complaining that the AfD couldn't simply be overturned like that. When I pointed out that there was no AfD, someone wondered why the listing was here at all, since nothing was deleted. I pointed out that I had already restored the content, at which point someone finally delisted the debate. Total number of people involved in the debate: 5. Total people who had actually looked at the situation to the point of detail of, say, finding the AfD or figuring out why it was deleted: 1. And you thought deletion debates were carried on without thinking!

The fun is preserved forever at
