If someone flags it for deletion, a straw poll is taken in which anyone can participate. People will go to a site, make up their minds, and vote "Keep" or "Delete" accordingly. There are overzealous people (who we call "deletionists") who will go through and mark anything and everything they feel doesn't belong. Usually people will go make up their own minds and decide whether it stays. Another thing going against your wiki is that hardly anything links to it (we call these "orphans").

It's not a democracy, but the public does ultimately decide whether an article stays or goes. Most people that are active within the community are fair. I wrote a wiki for us Theafers 2 years ago, and it took them nine months to delete it, citing we're "non-notable". That's fine, because, in the grand scheme of the Internet, we aren't.
