Hi Sarah,
I am following this discussion and it's interesting to see that deciding
about an entry is not straight-forward even to "core insiders". I wonder
what criteria help decide if something or someone is "worth" an article
in WP. How do you decide? Or: What makes it worth it or nor?

Oh Michael, the bearer of bad news about people who generally want to
write new articles on this mailing list.
Is there another article where we think this type of coverage or
content could be placed? I think we could even build an article about
I Fucking Love Science instead.
I still question if it's officially not worth an article, I haven't
researched it yet. But, at this point I'm a "pro" at making people
most declare non-notable rather notable based on research. (Oh the
curator in me!)

It's appalling and depressing; but if somebody were to write a
Wikipedia article about it, at this point, I'd say it fails WP:NOTNEWS.

Did anyone see this? A popular blogger on Science (with more than 4
million followers) is a woman. The woman herself, Elise Andrew,
had no
idea it was a secret, and she was "outed" when she announced her
twitter account featuring a picture of herself. Apparently the bias
occurred because of the swear word on her facebook page which made
readers assume she was a man. Interesting conclusion! This is a
facebook hype that deserves a WP page, no?
