Hello!

There are two points I would make. The first is that we generally don't intervene with what admins are doing unless they're violating the Terms of Use, so that does give them a pretty decent amount of free reign to run their wikis how they chose (including taking actions like deleting user pages). That's the practical element. The more philosophical point is that communities are and should be in charge. Wikis should be community-run, so communities should be allowed to make decisions. Let me give you an example of the wiki you told me about. The community should be able to hold a vote and decide whether they like the admin's deletions or not, and that decision should become a policy that the admin follows.

My suggestion would be to talk to this admin and the community about your disagreement, that way the community and the admin can come to a decision together about how to move forward with it.
