Re: CCSID descriptions

Wikipedia used to have some great articles on each of the EBCDIC Code Pages. In July 2020 someone marked all 120+ pages for deletion for "lack of notability". In accordance with procedure, the relevant committee voted on this, and the majority decision was to keep the pages. However the
