Wikipedia Kills “Culture of Death”

Last week, Wikipedia deleted its article entry on “Culture of Death.” Jill Stanek is on the beat trying to figure out why. “Culture of Death” can still be found as a subheading under “Culture of Life,” so that might have something to do with it—but the website often has entries that discuss terms with their own entries elsewhere. You can find screenshots of previous versions of the “Culture of Death” entry here . In any case, something smells fishy.
