Yup. It is a walled garden where the hardcore lifers protect each other from "outsiders." As I said earlier, it is like the worst, most newbie-unfriendly mud you ever played. The editors and their admin buddies bully and abuse everyone else, and make sure they get their way regardless of actual policies and rules of the site.

This decision was a COMPLETE violation of WP:DP#Deletion_discussion. "If there is no rough consensus and the page is not a BLP describing a relatively unknown person, the page is kept and is again subject to normal editing, merging or redirecting as appropriate." The closing admin does not have the right to substitute his own personal opinion for the policies and rules of Wikipedia. What is the point of an AfD is a closing admin can just swoop in and decide whatever he personally feels?
