Unending Misery

Here's my recent note to the identifiable writers of the Misery (Australian band) article:

I have nominated the article, Misery (Australian band) for deletion from Wikipedia. You can access the process by visiting the article. I have done this not because I am deletionist or a senior writer for Wikipedia, or because I believe in destroying your work, as some do at Wikipedia.

I am doing it for a variety of reasons: To learn how the deletion process works. As a reaction to the recent deletion of the Misery (band) article. (Based in Minneapolis, MN., US.) I admit this difficult to defend reason but offer up my wish to learn about the internal problems of Wikipedia by responding to the Minneapolis band's deletion by attempting to delete the Australian band. As an attempt to review Wikipedia's deletion policy as it relates to alternative and all bands.

I am blogging on this situation. The blog is accessible through my user page.

Thank you for editing Wikipedia.

The saga continues. For those not up to date on it, Giggy, the nominator of the deletion of the Misery (band) article, who appears to be from Australia, is now perhaps pondering the counter attack from Minneapolis. Perhaps it will turn out to be a case of Mutually Assured Destruction, a subject I learned about somewhere on the path to my college degree. I have posted a number of times recently on the subject and wont repeat most of my arguments here.

Call this inside journalism if you will, where anyone with a blog can claim to be a journalist, and defend their actions as some sort of public service. I am not nominating the article for deletion for any negative reason. I'd like to see a change at Wikipedia concerning deletions, but am just one person with an opinion that is shared by an apparent minority.

Giggy has a new user name, Dihydrogen Monoxide.
