Once I was an avid editor of Wikipedia, but the long-lasting deletionist craze drove me away, as it has driven away other dedicated Wikipedians, and doubtless scared off many would-be Wikipedians. I maintain this profile as a commemoration of the time when Wikipedia was a growing, constructive environment for the cataloguing of all the world's knowledge, and as a protest against the arbitrary culling of that knowledge that seems to be the current fad. If you've submitted
WP:PROD's without researching the sources and attempting to improve them yourself, if you've engaged in reflexive copyright-extremism, or made ill-defined demands for "sufficient" coverage to establish notability...you're part of the problem. Please consider becoming more constructive and less destructive. If you aren't familiar with Wikipedia's deletion polices, please see WP:ATD
