:::What you call "talked into oblivion" was, in fact, a thorough discussion, showing precisely where your proposed deletions were a violation of Wikipedia policy and a bad idea, in general.  Then, when the discussion didn't go your way, you decided to ignore us and do whatever you want.  That isn't an honest discussion, it's just you pretending to discuss things to cover yourself when you later do whatever you want, without a consensus of the users.  I'm glad that an Admin finally spoke up on the behalf of the users, but it's a shame that you don't respect the opinions of anybody but Admins in the first place.
