I hope this lasts awhile before it hits VfD.... --JuntungWu 06:52, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

For informational purposes, Angela Beesley went through VfD in April 2005 and was kept. Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Angela Beesley. Anyone considering nominating this article for deletion should keep that in mind. -- Seth Ilys 14:24, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

And we are supposed to pretend that Wikipedia does not have systematic bias?! Pcb21| Pete 18:35, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
Are we? Of course it has, anyone attempting to deny that would be overwhelmed with counterexamples.
Well, I am slightly inclusionist, since there's really no limit to articles number (the more articles, the more popularity, the more resources), but it's somewhat disturbing when full articles on out-wiki somewhat notable people get deleted, but don't you dare touch an article about a Wikimedia employee, which only says that they were born in City, Country, on Month, Day, Year, and are a member of BoT.

[edit] Not deleting it doesn't harm anybody, but...

does anybody really think this can grow to more than a stub? Not intending to troll here, I like the idea of people tributing florence with an article. It's just I'm really curious about whether there's anyone who really expects this to become a real encyclopedic article. (PS: having the same thougths with angela, anthere & timshell) (BTW, félicitations par votre bébé) --euyyn 03:09, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks :-) (for the baby)

For the future of the article, I suspect it will depend on what my own future will be. Time will say. Anthere

Well, hey, of course, maybe in the future you go into space or become the richer woman in the world for decades, but that was not what I was talking about, hehe.
I consider "stub" to be an inacceptable state for an encyclopedic article. But as WP is somehow a constant "work in progress", and it's better for our users to see stubs than not to see anything at all, we show them. Yes, the article isn't marked as a stub. I think it is, anyway.
So suppose we freezed the outer/real world, and hence we had all the time to edit this article until it weren't a stub anymore. Could we really do it? Would there be enough secondary sources for us? Etc. --euyyn 22:32, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure there would be enough primary sources to write something interesting. Pokemons are cooler. CP/M comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 12:48, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unemployed

Saying that someone is "currenmtly unemployed" strikes me as odd and slightly unencyclopedic, even if it is technically true. For many mothers managing a household can keep them very employed. Saying that someone is unemployed can of hidden implications that the person may or may not be looking for a job, or it can even imply a POV that the society may have about the protestant work ethic. It's there in a comment like, "He was a Wikipedia editor until he had to get a real job." I would be inclined to remove that sentence. It seems to me that there are more ways to value work that through the medium of the economic marketplace; work that has been freed still has a value. Eclecticology 18:16, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Umm, it is. In bold. :-) GreenReaper 15:31, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Board of Trustees

The above, within the article, returns the article entitled Trustee and Trustees.

I recommend the following: Board of Trustees of Wikimedia Foundation, assuming that that is the correct name.
