How the following administrators feel about WP:CONSENSUS, one of the founding five pillars of wikipedia (emphasis my own):

Administrator Coffee
"The "communities view" doesn't really matter in this case, ArbCom passed a rather simple motion that everyone has pretty much interpreted the same way. The consensus at the RFC is that PRODs on unsourced BLPs should not be removed unless sources are added, this to you should be better than me just mass deleting, which believe me I have no problem starting again. There's no reason to delay adding it to that policy, other than plain and simple policy wonkery, which I will not tolerate." 08:14, 23 January 2010.

Administrator Scott MacDonald
"Community consensus" is something I have learned by bitter experience to hold in utter contempt. The ONLY way to change wikipedia is direct action. If you block me, then that will cause drama and disruption. That's your choice. But drama and disruption is far more likely to do some good here than more waffle with an irrepsponsible community. I give notice that I consider any long-term unreferenced BLP to be fair game for deletion, and I call on all resoponsible admins to join me in this position. 01:07, 21 January 2010.
