Wikipedia is a weird place. Anyone can propose anything there. The article on DU won't be deleted. Cooler heads will prevail.

N.B. - I'm not a participant at Wikipedia, but nothing can happen without a discussion. Since this nomination for an Article for Deletion was just posted today, no discussion has taken place. I expect that any such discussion will lead to the conclusion that the article on Democratic Underground should remain on Wikipedia.

People do this sort of attack all the time. The person who nominated the article for deletion has no credibility or activity on Wikipedia, as far as I can see.
