Aldeism Entry Deleted from Wikipedia

arevich responds regarding the deleting of the Wikipedia Aldeism entry

As the creator of Aldeism, and as the author of the most recent incarnation of the Aldeism Wikipedia listing I would like to elaborate on the reasons that Aldeism should be kept listed as a serious contribution to the knowledge database that is Wikipedia.

  • 1) Aldeism exists.The fact of its existence should be reason enough for inclusion.
  • 2) The Aldeism website has received as many one million visits since inception. This means that Aldeism has at least marginally influenced the lives of thousands of people.
  • 3) Discussions of Aldeism are occuring in more forums all the time. The fact that discussion is occuring means that people will seek sources of further information. Wikipedia holds as a substantial part of its mission that it be seen as a source for references of this type.
  • 4) Lastly, many of the critiques and calls for deletion seem to be motivated by agendas other than the accuracy or mission of Wikipedia. Specifically there seems to be strong undercurrents of religious antipathy to Aldeism by some of the most vocal critics.

Personal attacks

Please stop posting personal attacks against other users on their user talk pages: it won't get your page undeleted, it will get you permanently blocked from editing under this and other user names if you continue.

And my deletion of your article this first time round was not in any way an abuse of power: this has been explained to you at least twice to my knowledge. -- Graham ☺ | Francs2000:Talk 20:11, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Context of above comment: (copied from User talk:Francs2000) Thank you for the insight update. It is at least of some comfort to me to realize that I am not the only member of the Wikipedia community to express the concern that abuse of power comes too easily to you.

Abuse of Power

It is not a coincidence that those who abuse their power are the first to deny it and the last to observe it. You might find out much more than you would like to know about yourself Graham, if you spent some time reading up on the dynamics of power, control, and difference. I will be happy to provide you with a list of appropriate journal articles. Arevich 20:31, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)
