In practice items about Wikimedians are /more/ likely to be deleted than equivalent items about non-Wikimedians. I know of cases (mostly now reversed, thankfully) where items about the authors of academic papers - and so clearly meeting Wikidata's notability criteria - were deleted *because* the author was also a Wikimedian. In one case, an item was deleted by the subject Wikimedian himself, with no prior discussion. Despite this glaring conflict of interest, it has never been restored. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
