But that's how it works. Because people get het up in discussions, it tends to be forgotten that a deletion is only supposed to have effect for 6 months. The truth is that good sources are published all the time; and it is very significant for the work we do that more information is constantly being posted online. The "simplistic" theory is that we simply digest all the sources that are worth it into WP; and proponents of more "sophisticated" theories need to remember that sophistication has a downside built into the meaning. In any case WP is dynamic, and when it ceases to be is when we really should start to worry.
