yep this is a tedious process that some of us on this list had to go thru a few years ago, with entries for furtherfield, cyberformance & UpStage. it was pretty frustrating & the process for getting things undeleted & working out the wikipedia rules & processes was pretty circular. but in the end we managed to salvage everything.
it does require people to contribute - which is not a bad thing in itself. just that at least in the past, the majority of people contributing place knowledge about obscure science fiction characters as being of more importance than established & productive arts organisations. this is changing as more of us start to contribute, & the more of us who contribute, the easier it is for all of us to contribute because we don't have to spend months defending the legitimacy of clearly legitimate things. h : ) On 20/03/10 1:19 PM, Jim Andrews wrote: >> Bearcat is clearly a "deletionist".
