Wikipedia talk:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Eleventy-billion pool

To clarify what was going on here :
 * 1) This page was held up as an example of a long-standing and funny 'outrageous' pool, the existence of which was reason to delete other long-term pools such as the Billion and Trillion pools.
 * 2) The other long-term pools were deleted; the consensus to delete those was misinterpreted as consensus to delete all long-term pools by Arthur Rubin, who deleted the page on November 29 2006 without notice or process.
 * 3) On June 5 2007 I noticed this and restored the pages 511 revisions, saying "(Obvious consensus to keep, as per many AfD discussions. Existence of this page was part of reasoning for deleting billion/trillion pools. please don't use admin tools to circumvent community discussion.)"
 * 4) ^demon redeleted, after this brief MfD, claiming it was a speedy candidate; which it still was not.  Being falsely speedily deleted should make it harder, not easier, to speedily delete again in the future for the same reasons.

 * To clarify your opinion as to what was going on, which I believe is not supported by the actual discussions....
 * This pool was included in the discussion of the other pools. I see no reason in that discussion why the result should be or was different.  &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 22:17, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
