Why should my custom champion have to live up to the standards of someone else?

Why should I be forced to use some template that I may not like?

Why should my concept be "turned down" just because English isn't my first language and I make some grammar errors?

Why should I be put on a time limit to make MY concept conform to "your" standards?

A blog is a place to be able to be express yourself and your ideas to the community, why are you making people conform to these strict guidelines in their personal space?

This may be rant-y but I don't care. I want it known that I do not endorse this purge and find it ridiculous that a mod, a new one at that, not only started this purge without proper community consensus but also decided to use made-up policies as their basis for deletion. Firstly, I apologize for all this trouble, suddenly doing all this even when I'm just a newly hired moderator, I can easily give an impression of "all-high-and-mighty-dictator" to the community.

Your question does brings up a lot of new issues I overlooked, That is my mistake, things should not be done based on solely on a person's point-of-view on Wikia, but should be based on what the community thinks. As Typhron says, "If this is going to happen, you're going to want people who can make sound judgements according to what stays and what goes, as well as look at things objectively."

I do have to emphasize that I have not started this purge yet, and the main reason this discussion exists is to ask for general opinion on custom concepts the community has created, because acting on my own accord without consent will only cause a community uproar.
