Completely with you. The goal of Wikipedia should be to spread the content and allow more new content.
Sadly it seems the opposite is true, whole parts of Wikipedia are infested by cancer (aka corrupt/out-od-mind admins who are acting in their own world/turf and interest), have a closer look at certain languages like de.Wikipedia.org where more new and old articles get deleted than content can grow (source: various German news media incl. Heise.de reported about it). And why is Wikia a thing? And why is it from the Wikipedia founder, has he a double interest!? And now he is starting a news offspring as well! Something like the Wikipedia frontpage and WikiNews, just under his own company. And on the otherside Wikipedia banned trivia sections to make the Wikia offspring even possible (happened 10 years ago, but you probably remember it; yet Wikipedia deleted/buried the trivia section history). Why even delete non-corporate-spam artices? Why are fictional manga creatures all o er on Wikipedia but info about movie characters all deleted? Many Wikipedia admin seem to be deletionists that care only about their turf, the care about "their own" articles, they revert changes to them just for their own sake. Look at the WikiData project. Why is it implemented by a German Wikipedia org that has little to do with intl Wikimedia foundation, it's not a sister project, they do their own fundraiser and media news reported not so nice things over the years.
Look at OpenStreetMap project, it works a lot better. Maybe the Wikipedia project should be transfered over or forked by OpenStreetMaps project. And delete all admin rights, and start over with the in some way toxic community that scares away most normal people who don't want to engage in childish turf wars and see their contributions deleted and cut down for no reason but admin power play.
