Talk:Help Principle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I deleted the suggestion from Blingice for this page to be replaced by a redirect to Iain King because I think it contains valid material in its own right that doesn't belong on the Iain King page. However, it's a close call (assuming we want to minimise the number of pages on wiki). Also, this shouldn't be a stub, so I deleted that, too.

I'm fairly new to wikipedia, so if anybody disagrees with this assessment, please do so! Hotel Alpha 08:00, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

This is most definitely a stub. Wikipedia:Stub says "A stub is an article containing only a few sentences of text which is too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject, but not so short as to provide no useful information."

In terms of deletion, this article doesn't provide any unique information than is on the Iain King page, and is just extraneous material that is here for no reason. The Iain King page does provide the same information that is on this page, meaning that either the Help Principle needs to redirect to the Iain King page or the material deserves deletion from the Iain King page. I see no reason for deleting it from the Iain King page, because why should we delete a mention of an important body of work by a person? I say delete the article, redirect to Iain King.--Blingice 16:59, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
