From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I believe in a Every TREE in SIBERIA-type Wikiphilosophy.

“

We should have an article on every school. We should have an article on every TREE in SIBERIA, for that matter. The more the better! Well, as long as the articles are of some quality, of course. We agree on that. We don't want 100 million articles all consisting of just one sentence.

”

Based on Daniel575's comment(It should be pointed out that Daniel has now been indef blocked for sending death threats), I propose that if there's substantial information on an subject, then it should have an article. Be that article on anything from a village fete that has raised money every year for the past three years to, yes, a tree in Siberia. Note though, if there isn't sufficient information on someone, then that article shouldn't exist. This may be seen as a very liberal interpretation of WP:NOTABLE.

This philosophy, however, only applies to the main namespace. Personally, the fewer stuff in the Wikipedia namespace, the better, as far as I'm concerned. I'm somewhat of a fire-breathing deletionist when it comes to stuff in Wikipedia:. People who bleat about community-building fail to realise that it's a community of editors, not gamers. If you want to create games for a community, Newgrounds is that way.

Regarding the User: namespace, I take a much more lenient view. Unless something is disrupting the Wikipedia or making a WP:POINT, I'm cool with it.
