James focuses on the plight of Wikipedia stubs. […] According to James, the articles that most frequently run the risk of being deleted are ā€œwritten by young people, about generational interests, or pop culture, or something outside the experience of the primarily older white male deletionists who consider themselves arbiters of ā€˜acceptable’ encyclopedia content.ā€ To make matters worse, in addition to these articles being deleted en masse, all edit history of the article is being removed, which is a violation of Wikipedia’s transparency mandate.
