It's interesting to note that, on the whole, everyone is an inclusionist about something, and a deletionist about something else. There's hardly anyone so big on inclusion that they won't occasionally say "god, no, please, delete that article on a collapsed band from 1973 which once opened for someone you've heard of"; conversely, the people who spend a lot of time sending material to AFD as "nn, delete" will have their little pet hobbies of writing articles on a topic that you or I might consider insanely overspecific and not worth keeping.>> ------------- For example, I sometimes try to sell vintage audio components. Do you know how *difficult* it can be to find specification details on something that's been out-of-production for 25 years or more? It would be nice if our articles on say Bose speakers or Pioneer stereos would include a list of EVERY component ever made by the companies and the weight, dimension and audio specifications of each of those.... *Runs for cover* Will Johnson _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
