Talk:Police misconduct in Pasadena, Texas
The AfD
First off, a couple points about AfD in general. There is a rule in WP about canvassing votes. Well, AfD is essentially that. Except that AfD facilitates canvassing. Here is a page where the only point is to delete or not delete articles. A specialized group of deletors and inclusionists come to AfD to vote their little hearts out, and trust me, that is how it is resolved, no matter how many times it says, arguments not votes count, in Wikipedia:WP:DELETION.
- Every rationale here is subjective. I really feel personally as though no article should be deleted without at least one unequivocal rule broken.
- Starts off with some Wikipedia:WP:OTHERSTUFF insinuations. Pretty sure 'police blotter' is not on any list of do-s or don't-s, so this is just strong-arming. Then one of the refuges of the incompetent, an almost wholly subjective rule, Wikipedia:WP:UNDUE, which waffles back and forth saying don't this, but do do something almost the opposite, sometimes, 'til it can be used to support just about anything.
- Wikipedia:WP:NPOV is, well, a PoV rule. The consensus view is a collection of Ps of V. You can always tell the amateurs at AfD because they call it WP:POV. no such thing. I always call it 'mindreading', like the hypocritical accusations of Assume Good Faith that always spring up. You are assuming bad faith to say that someone is not assuming bad faith. It is dumb, and it results in a lot of extra edits and wasted time on WP.
- UNDUE, PoV, undue, pov.
- Then, my stuff.
- Someone claiming a Conflict of Interest. Interesting, but no proof provided
- Then, a very funny. "I'd call it WP:SYNTH except nothing is synthesized". Insidious, eh? (shakes fist at sky)

All of which, of course, adds up to a Delete. Huh? You might be saying. Me, I expected it. That is why it is here. Maybe you did too. Let's celebrate it being here. Yay! I love this place. Anarchangel 09:12, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
Thank You
I created this article on wikipedia before it was censored as are many of my police misconduct entries, I'm glad to find this place, and will update and add all of the deleted police articles such as this one! Freejohngotti
