So, the problem with this stems from the question of "What is a superpower?".

That's a question that should have been answered day 1, and there hasn't been one up to this point. Superpower as a word is the combination of Super (which means above) and Power (which means ability). The criteria listed in the Minimum Criteria reflect this - if any old person could do it, it's not a super power. Peak-Human abilities are considered as powers because for most people it's not a common ability and it's not easily attainable by normal people.

If we listed skills and abilities regardless of whether or not they were real and common, we'd be listing things like Lockpicking and Jogging. The reason a lot of non-power pages were allowed to be created was because we had piss-poor administration that was based 100% on arbitrary rulings and feelings instead of guiding principles or policies.

You say nobody has a problem with these pages, but you know that's BS. I have a problem with them, I know Demo has a problem with them, Jess has voiced problems with them, etc. You can see a bunch of people in the comments who agree with these choices. The Discord server is made up in huge part of conversation about the sorry state of the wiki. Don't sit there and pretend there is no opposition to your perspective- you can't unperson people because you don't agree with them. If you want a "Powers and Abilities" wiki you're free to make one yourself.
