Default Wikipedia Dispute: Sam Sloan vs. Howcheng regarding Tom Dorsch and Bill Brock

(Sam Sloan) writes:
After being warned by other administrators to stop doing this, Bill
Brock appealed to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Howcheng.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Howcheng immediately not only
blanked the entire http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom Dorsch article,
but, using his powers as administrator, blanked the entire history and
discussion as well, so that nobody can see or recover what happened.
By that time, more than a dozen different editors had edited my Tom
Dorsch biography and as a result it was considerably different from
the way I had originally posted it on Wikipedia.


The Dorsch article was deleted after a standard Articles for Deletion
(AfD) process which chose deletion. When an article gets deleted, the
edit history and discussion gets deleted with it. This happened with
the Dorsch article just like it does with any other article that gets
deleted.
