I disagree. To delete requires a consensus to delete. That is, a consensus of people believe the article has no place on wikipedia. There are still some of us who remember that [[WP:N]] and other notability guidelines are only guidelines for a reason, they indicate how debates have tended to go in the past, they don't determine them, or legislate them. For myself, I look at the merits of the article, and use common sense. Actually, I NEVER read notability guidelines. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
