Subjective descriptions should not be content of information pages on the Wikia. ReganX is right with what she wrote, and it doesn't have to do with causing trouble to anyone who puts effort in new articles.

Over the past years, people changed the pages multiple times the way they felt about characters and relationships. Uther was evilUther was good, Morgana was a freedom fighter/Morgana was a psychopath, Arthur loved Merlin/Arthur liked Merlin, Gwen didn't love Arthur but Lancelot/Gwen was a slut because she wanted a relationship with Lancelot, Gaius was Merlin's uncle/Gaius wasn't Merlin's uncle, Merlin hated Uther and Morgana/Merlin didn't hate any of them/Merlin loved Morgana in a romantic way and so and so on....

I too think that the relationship between Arthur and Merlin was a brotherly one. However, a while ago we had a dispute with someone who was determined to explain to people that Merlin and Arthur were gay. The discussion escalated with accusations towards others being homophobic just because they thought that it was a brotherly rather than a romantic relationship.

However, I think that describing the friendship as being deep wouldn't be much of a problem since it was evident especially in the end of the show. "Deep" is much more general than "brotherly", I think. To avoid such clear expressions, one could write that the friendship evolved or deepened over the time.
