But if they stop keep deleting “niche” content from Wikipedia, then people won’t have to use Fandom instead.
You know, the commercial, ad infested wiki that was also founded by a Wikipedia co-founder.
I don’t like Fandom as a commercial platform any more than you do, but in-universe topics for niche fandoms simply don’t belong on Wikipedia; they would make it harder for editors to focus copyediting time on articles that matter far more to most people.
There are nonprofit wiki farm alternatives to Fandom that are a better solution to that problem.
