A GEEZER who argued strongly for deletion from Wikipedia can't get himself removed.

Seth Finkelstein, writing in today's Guardian , said that his biography was vandalised on Wikipedia and subsequently propagated on sites carrying W-content.

Someone proposed Seth was not notable enough to be included on Wikipedia in July and he agreed and argued strongly he should go.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
