I have tried and tried, politely, to re-edit and make acceptable the page about the popular Newgrounds cartoon "Retarded Animal Babies", which had been deleted in 2006 for reasons that aren't clear.
And yet, every attempt I made has been shot down aggressively.
I was doing this Wiki page purely as a favor for a friend, the creator of the cartoons. It looks like someone in the Wiki gang is very hostile to the RAB cartoon--and I have no idea why. (Admittedly it's one of the most offensive and politically incorrect web cartoons around. But the hostility people showed me was bizarre and inexplicable.)
This is the article I was editing:

Basic description of what happened is here, where I asked some musician friends and customers for help:

My personal blog post (after I gave up) is here:

Yes, every favorable comment other people tried to post at the deletion review (and several people say they tried) was deleted. At least, I can't find a trace of them.
Everyone who looked at this agreed that the references I found were adequate...except those few "trusted editors" who ended up being the executioners.
(As it happens, one of the "trusted editors" I ran afoul of was none other than "Irishguy".)
I'd just like to understand how these people can be so high-handed, about a subject they are not experts on. Did an RAB episode offend someone, and he/she's started a religious war over it? Comments are welcome.
