  • This article still has a VfD tag on it but the discussion appears to have been moved to Wikipedia:Archived delete debates/June 9. If the deletion debate is still ongoing, I definitely vote for its deletion; it appears to be a fact-free rant or at best an extended troll from an embittered ex-editor (at least, Irismeister says he's now an ex-editor). There may be a place for an article on the sociology of Wikipedia but this ain't it. -- ChrisO 12:40, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Agree with ChrisO. There seemed to be consensus to delete, and if not there should at least be a prominent link to the archived discussion in the article talk page, and of course removal of the VfD tag. Andrewa 15:07, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • It was unlisted by Wile E. Heresiarch from VfD/Old with the edit summary "Wikipolice -: unlist, deleted some days ago". I think he saw the main namespace redirect had been deleted and assumed someone had speedy deleted the actual page. -- Cyrius| 17:55, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • I have deleted it and the two images uploaded to illustrate it. There was a consensus to delete it at Wikipedia:Archived delete debates/June 9. Guanaco 19:03, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
    • It's just been re-created. Andy Mabbett 21:55, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)
