[p2p-research] threat of wiki bio deletion

[Tere Vadén]

I *hate* deletionism. Arguing for deletion of articles on net theorists 
because they have mainly published on the net is madness. Though, maybe, 
it is mostly young males influenced by natural science and just learning 
the skills of using references who represent the tendency. Hate the sin, 
not the sinner, eh? I would love to see a ultra-inclusionist wikipedia 
from which nothing but advertisement and illegal stuff would be deleted.

In any case, I tried to improve the article by adding a little bit on 
the CTheory article.
