Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deletionist versus Inclusionist Controversy
Sure there is real world context. Some of the news articles that talk about deletion debates, particularly of biographies, deal with the very notions of importance and notability, which are real world issues for the subjects (think BLP). For instance, 'http://weekendamerica.publicradio.org/programs/2007/01/20/marked_for_deletion.html Even those that defended Susan's Wiki-worthiness were harsh: "Seems notable enough. At least as notable as any other second-tier author or journalist." Ouch.' You know how much effect Wikipedia has, and yet inexplicably can't see it being compatible with |ASR, which specifically allows for this type of article. A merge to Criticism of Wikipedia would be improper as it's not primarily a criticism, but an aspect of the community (read the sources). A merge to Wikipedia would produce |undue weight given the available info that's essential to the issue. I am in the process of improving the article
