http://deletionpedia.org/ http://deletionpedia.org/ is a small project to cope with this in a positive way. A couple of years ago, when I was frustrated by deletionism once again, I wrote a bot that automatically copies articles that are about to be deleted.

- adekok 10y agoMy experience was that the prime criteria for deletion was that the Wikipedia editors be unfamiliar with the material. 1000 pages on Pokemon? Great! 2 pages on obscure technical subjects, of interest to tens of thousands of IT admins world-wide? Nah... get rid of it. I stopped contributing to Wikipedia when my edits were nuked as often as they were made. When spammers and people making negative contributions had their changes last longer than people making positive changes... well... Wikipedia is no longer of interest.
