Deletionists should be more relaxed: when let alone art might simply crack by itself, as it happened yesterday to Toyo Ito's "fountain" in Pescara http://is.gd/jOPz anyway there is maybe an equivalent in "Media Art" already, with the episode of Janez Jansa performance at Transmediale 2008 http://mail.sarai.net/pipermail/reader-list/2008-January/011910.html quickly re-admitted after the polemics gained momentum http://osdir.com/ml/culture.internet.nettime/2008-02/msg00004.html > >From the Meta-Wiki article on Deletionism: > > "Deletionism is a philosophy held by some Wikipedians that favors > clear and relatively rigorous standards for accepting articles, > templates or other pages to the encyclopedia...
