I edited there for 5 years but TL;DR this is exactly why I left Wikipedia. The nose-picker deletionists would trump every discussion, especially on topics they politically disagreed with or had a personal interest in (but of course on WP its never fashionable to announce your personal interest. You just strongarm and lobby for whatever WP policy happens to come out opposite).
Once you dive into the community deep enough you realize that its more or less controlled by a hive of cantankerous, unlikeable, very egostistical neck-beards.
