When they removed Aardwolf as not notable the act of posting about it here was considered "campaigning" and counted against it.

One Wiki admin who was sympathetic to the whole situation told me when that happens the editors often do their own campaigning behind the scenes and, sure enough, a whole bunch of wikipedia editors who hadn't been involved up to that point were suddenly on the article recommending deletion. A couple of days later it was gone. One or two of them showed up here, possibly even in this thread.

I guess I'm saying be careful what you post because there could be a wanna-be wiki admin reading this right now thinking, "Threshold RPG article next, teach him to bring a knife to a gun fight".
