Wikipedia runs on a "consensus" system, at least in theory. An article there can be deleted if enough people feel it is unworthy of an encyclopedic article, or if it meets certain other criteria. One complaint some people have with Wikipedia is that the deletion criteria seem to favor the opinions of a select few, rather than a true majority. This could be due to a lack of participation in the processes laid down, though. First of all, anyone can edit wikipedia. So people can put false information, or something innapropriate. Second, people can delete anything.
