Following a comment by kingboyk and discussion on the administrators' noticeboard regarding an editor who was "challenging" the closure of an articles for deletion debate through the Association of Members' Advocates, the Association was subsequently nominated for deletion.
The controversy began when the article List of multiracial people was nominated for deletion on the 6th of March 2007 by Gadavis, who wrote that the article "is offensive, has no place on Wikipedia, has no value as a resource, and could contain a plethoric amount of names." Following a lively discussion in which 10 people voted in favor of deletion, while two opposed, the debate was closed in favor of deletion on the 10th of March by kingboyk. While explaining his decision to delete the article kingboyk wrote that he was "closing a little early as the consensus is already evident and the continued presence of this article is rather odorous."
Following the deletion of the article on the 10th, five days later on the 15th of March Jalabi99 commented on kingboyk's discussion page questioning his handling of the situation and a number of other factors. Kingboyk responded by explaining that as an administrator his task was to determine consensus. He continued writing that Jalabi99 could appeal the deletion of the article at deletion review, but he would be amazed if the deletion was overturned.
