Explanation
editI'm sorry if you misunderstood my role in deleting the Genmay article. I'm not a judge, just a janitor. I just apply the rules that have been agreed on by the community. If you want to argue for including General Mayhem in the encyclopedia, you might be interested in the Wikipedia:Deletion review#General Mayhem.
Lastly, if I "appear quite pompous", it might be because I'm using as neutral language as possible. When told to go eat a dick and other unpleasantries just because I'm doing my job as an administrator according to well-worked-out rules, it's often necessary to start sounding "dry" to avoid replying to flamers in kind out of frustration. Dryly yours... — Saxifrage ✎ 08:26, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- People wanting it isn't enough for the project to host the information. Because the project is to build an encyclopedia, articles have to be about things that are important—that's what an encyclopedia is for. Since everyone is editing, some useful guidelines for everyone on how to judge the importance of something have been created, just so that we're all working from the same standards. WP:WEB is one of them that's relevant, and criteria for speedy deletion A7 is another. I'm making no judgement about General Mayhem's importance, but there is a lack of evidence that can be used to justify keeping the article at the moment. If someone brings some evidence forward, the article will likely be restored. — Saxifrage ✎ 09:03, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- "I'm not a judge, just a janitor. I just apply the rules that have been agreed on by the community." - well, I think you are splitting hairs now, as you're obviously both, judge and janitor in this case. How can you claim to adhere to rules established by the community, while I can go and visit about 5 various other pages that get to stay up while essentially describing the same thing as Genmay: (4chan - some nonsense anime spam, SA - more nonsense with inside jokes and ani-gifs, etc) I sent you a private, decent, e-mail but I regret it now. After looking through some of your personal stuff, like livejournal and other, standard internet monkey bouquet of digital bullshit it still appears your 'evaluation' of the Genmay article was based on nothing more than personal bias. Whether it's you or that other wiki mod that you are 'dating' - clearly one of you has it out for this website and simply will not listen to reason. Please stick to fixing spelling errors in articles about dungeons, dragons and anime.
- The original reason for deleting it was because the page contained no assertion of importance, which is really necessary in an encyclopedia article. The helpful people trying to get me to undelete it pointed me to a very old discussion on deleting the article that resulting in "no consensus" (which defaults to "keep"), and some more digging turned up a more recent discussion that decided "delete". Even if my original reason was no good, reposting an article that was decided through discussion to be deleted earns a speedy-delete on-sight. It doesn't take any bias on my part to enforce that discussion. Personally I would say that OffTopic doesn't deserve an article either, but it's not my job to cleanse everything to be fair and that's my personal opinion anyway.
- People are trying to argue that it should be undeleted at the deletion review page, but they're not putting much effort into understanding what will convince the others that it should be undeleted.
- Sorry you regret sending the decent email. It was pretty big of you to do that while the rest of the Genmay users were resorting to impotent vandalism. — Saxifrage ✎ 01:11, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

editYou may be interested to know that I've obtained a copy of the original Gen[M]ay article, in the hopes that it can be properly sourced and someday undeleted. It's currently residing in my sandbox if you'd like to take a look. Any contributions that you can make to it would be appreciated! —Lantoka ( talk | contrib) 10:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
- Oh hey, excellent, perhaps one day eh? There is a slightly edited version on http://www.answers.com/genmay that I was keeping in mind to fall back on, thanks for the heads up! Mister2 21:49, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
