Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2008-12-01 Seth Material

Where is the dispute taking place?
The "Seth Material" article.--Caleb Murdock (talk) 19:16, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Who else is involved in the disagreement?
Do you want names and handles? These people in particular: Moreschi, Verbal, Dougweller.--Caleb Murdock (talk) 19:16, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Briefly, what's the problem?
They are trying a "stealth delete" of the article by redirecting it. There is not a consensus for this.

Since this mediation was requested, they have started removing wholesale sections of the article simply because references are lacking. References can certainly be gotten for those sections (in time), but if the text is missing, no one will know to work on the missing paragraphs. The people who are doing this -- including some administrators -- are not trying to be helpful at all; their obvious intent is to destroy the article one way or the other. Their very first act was to redirect it, and since then they have been truncating it as much as they can.--Caleb Murdock (talk) 19:16, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

...What's keeping it from being solved?
As stated, they continue to either redirect the article or, since the mediation was requested, delete large portions of it for the slightest reason.--Caleb Murdock (talk) 19:16, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

...What do you want fixed?
I want the redirections and deletions to be stopped until various issues are resolved. I want the knowledgable editors of the article to be given some time to get the requested references.--Caleb Murdock (talk) 19:16, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
