    But these people see no accountability. Wikipedia doesn’t have a mechanism of accountability against these anonymous bad actors.

      Accountability for what? Failing to delete an article?

      Accountability is for people who wield power. The review process denied them the power to delete the article. That seems plenty sufficient to me.

        The guy has nothing to really tie him to the action so he can just go on the next post and do the same thing. Eventually it’ll get through, because Wikipedia isn’t staffed by perfect people. That’s a bad thing.

          Ah, so we’re going with “it would be bad if this scenario had a different outcome, so we’re just going to pretend this scenario actually represents the bad outcome that didn’t happen so I can rationalize being mad about this non-issue.”
