The burdon of proof should also be on the deletionist, since they are the ones causing all this trouble.

[edit] Wikiality much?

As the creation of false wikialities is probably the most accurate criticism of our consensus process, I hope this essay isn't advocating in it's favor. You should at least mention WP:YESPOV, and perhaps WP:SOAP. But for secondarily sourced (i.e. non-soapbox) material, the onus should be on editors who don't believe certain content is relevant to the subject of an article, as it's usually plain on its face, and even in such a case, there's always an article somewhere else where the content can be used, in my experience. I agree with unsigned above: it's usually the deletionists who fail to heed the WP:YESPOV guidelines who are the troublemakers. -- Kendrick7^talk 21:22, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, I've gone ahead and written WP:NOONUS to elaborate on the above. Shall we exchange links? -- Kendrick7^talk 23:02, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
