[edit] Five Pillars Trivia discussion

Hello, Dan. Obviously I'm late in checking my wiki-mail, but I did want to drop you a note regarding the whole "Wikipedia is not a trivia collection" debate (which an edit of mine helped to spark! Wow!). It is sad that this simple phrase (and simpler is always more powerful) caused trouble. Even Jimbo endorsed it, but it has been misinterpreted to mean that Wikipedia should contain no "trivia" whatsoever. The rational debate was nice to see, and Wikipedia is better for it. I've taken a position here which I think you'll find reasonable. I'm just glad nobody wants to resurrect the awful "writers' rules of engagement" phrase. __ø(._. ) Patrick("\(.:...:.)/")Fisher 22:53, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Dan Barreiro

An editor has nominated Dan Barreiro, an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dan Barreiro and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 00:59, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tom Poleman

Nothing is stopping you from re-adding this article but you must explain how he is notable and provide citations from reliable sources to back it up. Stifle (talk) 09:20, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Also, I've replied to you on my talkpage regarding Tom Poleman, if you don't have me watchlisted. Cheers, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 18:38, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Baka Boyz

HM, you have a good point. Granted, I'll probably relist it on AfD again procedurally, though it does seem notable now. Wizardman 16:03, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Replied here. DHowell (talk) 05:30, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD discussion

I recently closed the AfD discussion on this AfD debate. If there are any other changes that need to be made, let me know. Cheers. TN‑X-Man 17:50, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
