But on February 11, 2019, in the middle of Black History Month and on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Phelps’s page was deleted. The optics, as they say, weren’t good.
Oosh.

Missed opportunity for the writer to mention the "Theft of our History", or "Erasure of our Black and Brown bodies".


We've seen clashes before in science, tech, mathematic areas of wikipedia. Contributors/editors/moderators/etc are actively against domain specific knowledge covering everything from academic to industrial. Experience, insights, studies, and discoveries are NOT welcome. These barnyard starred wikipedians (ugh) apply rules according to their own biases & naivety. If they don't know about it, then it's not notable and set to delete. If they don't like it, then the source is unreliable, in bad faith, disputed or unverifiable: set for speedy deletion. If it just so happens to appeal to them, then only can it be expanded and protected.

This is why their encyclopedia has the minutia of televised cartoons detailed with sub-pages on production history, episode guides, in-universe lore. A main encyclopedia doesn't need to be cluttered with pop culture meanderings and high resolution selfies of the contibutors own assholes (Fact Check: TRUE).
