[edit] Cingular Wireless:FAQ

• Delete. Wikipedia shouldn't be a place for FAQs, whether advertisement or non-advertisement. - splot 03:47, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for same reason. Daniel Case 04:09, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, Wikipedia is not a storage space for FAQs. User:Zoe|^(talk) 04:56, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• On what basis? --John Navas 05:04, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
  • In checking before writing, I didn't (and still don't) see any such prohibition in:
    • Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines
      • Wikipedia official policy
      • Wikipedia guidelines
    • Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not
  • I took note of the fact that there is a wealth of Wikipedia FAQs.
  • So did I miss something? If so, where? Or is this some sort of undocumented policy?
    • You did miss something. See Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. It specifically mentions FAQs as item #1. The FAQs we do have are not part of the article namespace, and they are about Wikipedia. Sorry! Perhaps Wikicities would have a place for this. -- William Pietri 06:18, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. --William Pietri 06:18, 16 November 2005 (UTC)'
• Delete per nom. Jasmol 07:18, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Reads like the the user manual. Agree with SpLot and Zoe.--Dakota ^{t e} 07:38, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator. Yamaguchi先生 09:05, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Moved (as suggested) to Wikibooks:Cingular Wireless FAQ --John Navas 09:19, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
  • John, FAQs are mentioned in Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information. The Wikipedia FAQs are not in the article namespace and meant to help people work with Wikipedia itself which is explicitly allowed by policy. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:22, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
    • That was already pointed out, and the page has already been moved -- did you have some other point? My personal opinion is that good FAQs are anything but "indiscriminate" and that the policy is seriously inconsistent, but I'm not about to fight City Hall. --John Navas 17:53, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, now it's on Wikibooks. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:22, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete now that it's been moved to Wikibooks. Jtmichcock 02:55, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
