Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/List of books portraying sexual relations between minors and adults

How on earth is the result 'Delete'?
Hello, How on earth can the result of this be delete. As far as i know Wikipedia is not a democracy, the decisions are made by consensus. Most of the delete votes were empty oneliners, and people did not respond to counterarguments. Beta M (talk) 03:08, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I have tried to explain that the delete decision was a mistake here. Beta M (talk) 03:54, 29 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Nobody watches the talkpages of dead AfDs; you're likely to wind up talking to yourself. Ironholds (talk) 11:18, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not aware of why anyone would stop watching. Unscintillating (talk) 00:55, 30 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I find keeping old AfDs on my watchlist useful, partly because of this exact type of situation, but also to spot vandalism, attempts at rewriting history, clueless but well intentioned newbies, etc, on long closed discussions. Thryduulf (talk) 11:34, 30 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I want to explain what has happened. I have written here in the act of disbelief that this AfD was closed as a delete, it was only after that time i have researched the procedure for the deletion review. It has suggested that i should first contact the person who has summarised and done the deletion. I have contacted Ironholds who has replied to me. At this moment i believe that i have not calmed down enough (which is needed due to the tone of the response) to continue this discussion. Once i will do so i will submit the review request (doing so currently will only hurt my chances, as i will likely say something very rude). Be well, everybody. Beta M (talk) 04:05, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
