[edit] Paige Lydon

Tragic, but non-notable. Wikipedia is not a memorial. Contested prod. MER-C 02:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Subject does not meet WP:BIO. ... discospinster _talk 02:31, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Do NOT delete. Who says wiki is not a memorial, that this is not important ? Wiki is an evolving thing - what might seem rediculous six months ago will be commonplace tomorrow. The old timers won't like it, but they never do retrogrouch.Cinnamon colbert 02:36, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • This is Wikipedia, not Wiki; and Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a collection of articles for every person who ever died, and will remain so. There are other projects whose goals are to have articles on every person ever, such as Wikitree. This project's goal is to be an encyclopaedia. That won't be changed by consensus, or by voting, since it is the fundamental goal of the project. All encyclopaedias have criteria for inclusion of biographies, and Wikipedia is no different.

    • I think that people who die, but don't remain so, certainly deserve a Wikipedia article... =) JIP | Talk 12:16, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. This says Wikipedia is not a memorial. ... discospinster _talk 02:38, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Tragic death, but Speedy delete per A7. Notability of subject is not even claimed. Pan Dan 02:43, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• I repeat: say who ? who gets to make these wiki rules , anyway ? If a reasonable number of people like Paige Lydon then THISWP:NOT#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information has to change.
  • Comment. This is where you can discuss the policies. ... discospinster _talk 02:52, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete yeesh. Danny Lilithborne 02:57, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia is not free webspace. Opabinia regalis 03:21, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete If you want to argue the policies of Wikipedia, this is not the place. Thanks for bringing attention to the other article, I'll be putting that up for deletion as well. --Daniel Olsen 04:59, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per the cited policy. Policy is determined by consensus, which is currently that Wikipedia is not a memorial or many other things. If the policy changes, the article can be returned, but not before. BigHaz - Schreit mich an (Review me) 06:31, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, I agree with the nominator. Every violent death is a tragic occurence, but if we were to list them all on Wikipedia, we'd get swamped. Paige Lydon is simply not notable enough. JIP | Talk 11:07, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete. Non-notable. Should we list all 100,000+ people who died in the Pacific tsunami or the 1,000+ who died from Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans? RickReinckens 23:29, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and move to Wikitree. --Slgr@ndson (page - messages - contribs) 23:45, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
