It seems so unlikely that you'd have already analyzed your deletion statistics for males vs females that I think you have to be trolling, but I'd love to understand your worldview if you are not. Could you provide a link to your Wikipedia deletion activity?
- astrodev 9y agoSorry, everyone in the Wikimedia community is so obsessed with preserving their anonymity that "outing" myself here would put me at a significant disadvantage. I don't think I am trolling. There are multiple tools to analyze the statistics, e.g. [1], and the female biographies stood out for me. Everybody checks the deletion discussion stats since a high accuracy (in terms of one's vote matching the consensus) is a de facto requirement to become an admin. I don't think there is anything sinister going on, simply a few editors with extremely inclusionist views tend to patrol articles about females [2]. Since the average deletion discussion has only ~3 participants, this results in a bias.
