[edit] Complaints about the process
- I actually do not see much difference in terms of credobility between "Possible single purpose account" people and people who hide their identities behind screen names, why do you guys hide your identities? I can think of several reasons, needless to say that none of them adds credobilty...--Bakhteiarov 19:45, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- Bakhteiarov, the main reason is that what is said is more important than who said it. We mark possible single-purpose accounts because people sometimes create them to give the impression of widespread support for an issue, but in general one's position in society is not important here: What is important is the ability to make supported and well-reasoned arguments. Uncle G has already enumerated what must be shown in order to keep the article; providing those sources will help, but complaining about the process won't. Vectro 22:53, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- Vectro, I agree with you. Thanks. --Bakhteiarov 12:56, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I think, we should go through and delete some sites listed here as well then, according to Wikipedia notability criterion. Maybe beside Netflix and Blockbaster, though I can see a hint of adertizment here as well... --Bakhteiarov 14:49, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- That may very well be the case. Feel free to nominate any articles that you think don't satisfy the notability criteria using one of the three Deletion processes, namely Articles for deletion, Proposed deletion, or Speedy deletion. It's probably also a good idea to add any nominated pages or discussion articles to your watchlist, so you can monitor the status of the nomination. Cheers, Vectro 15:54, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
