If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR.

Hey - this discussion is of an appallingly low standard itself! Claim that long sections are unreferenced - whichsections? You don't tell us. "Quite a few personal websites"? List them, please, because i can't see ANY! Downgrading for good reason is fine, but this is just ridiculous.
