You have removed an awful lot of content without any prior discussion and then protected the article to prevent editing or adding anything back -
in a way this smacks of an abuse of admin privileges based largely upon personal opinion (the removal of content without discussion and consensus first would be considered vandalism perhaps, were you not an admin). As just one notable example, a newsletter that is sent to 100,000 people every week is very notable yet you have removed the section entirely. Whilst I agree that some of the article could have been trimmed and sourced better, I agree with the above editor in that the amount you removed is indeed excessive and I ask that you remove the block or at least downgrade to a semi-protect againt IP vandals.

I believe you are acting in an unprofessional and retaliatory fashion.
As a neutral user to this matter, I would like to add this: Wikipedia is not b3ta's soap box, but it is equally neither yours. Protecting the page and removing nearly all of the content from it is an abuse of power. The semi-protection on the page is also un-necessary, as it is not a vandalised page. You have done this to concrete your edit to avoid public criticism. The current revision of the page does not make any sense, with sentences cut off mid-way.

B3ta is a humor website which should be taken with a grain of salt. To do otherwise is disingenuous and a total calumny.
B3ta does have a value as an article as it is a source of many popular internet memes and virals. I am sure even you have received something a B3tan has made in a humorous email from a friend or associate, although you are probably not aware of it.

This article has been flagged as "relies on references to primary sources or sources affiliated with the subject" for over five years now.
Surely b3ta has gotten enough press/blog/interview coverage since then that we can use a third-party source to pick out the "prominent" memes, rather than relying on passing editors adding their own favourites over the years?
