Here we go again (wikipedia)

[Bring4th_Austin]

I opened a ticket today in Wikipedia's version of a help desk, posing the question of how to determine whether a published book is a candidate for having its own Wikipedia article. I was led into some circular reasoning, the user helping me using two pages of criteria, each attempting to reference the other, but what I determined ultimately is that Wikipedia is a proper fustercluck when it comes to determining what is a proper article or not. It is clear that in the case of a book such as the Ra material, it is a "majority rules" kind of situation, where a mob of users can jump into a discussion of whether an article's sources are reliable and sway the discussion one way or another based upon their own personal biases, ideals, and beliefs.

This creates a natural sort of mob mentality, group think environment, where the culture of Wikipedia is overwhelmingly material reductionist and so that will be reflected in what can be considered a "reliable source," despite the source meeting the (confusing and unclear) criteria provided.

So the overriding authority for Wikipedia isn't necessarily the reliability of the sources, not the clarity or effort put into the article, and hardly even the individual opinions of the users who discuss whether to delete or keep an article; it is the overwhelming ideal of material objectivism/reductionism within the Wikipedia culture. It's not surprising to me that any sort of article discussing the Law of One would have a difficult time persisting within such an environment. You can get a sense of the idealism of the culture in the deletion review discussion, where many of the users voting to delete use very charged and emotional language, revealing their passion for the ideals they are set to uphold.

So I guess my main question is why do those who wish to see the Law of One article upheld within this environment feel that way? What is the driving force behind the desire for there to be a Law of One wikipedia article at all? Especially if it is an uphill struggle against an idealistic culture.
