Participation in Wikipedia's Article Deletion Processes - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2011, written by R. Stuart Geiger and Heather Ford.
Overview
Authors present results on a study of two levels of Wikipedia's article deletion process: speedy deletions (or CSDs) and articles for deletions (or AfDs). Authors findings indicate that the deletion process is heavily frequented by a relatively small number of longstanding users. In analyzing the rationales given for such deletions, it is apparent that the vast majority of such deleted articles are not spam, vandalism, or 'patent nonsense,' but rather articles which could be considered encyclopedic, but do not fit the project's standards.
