[edit] Pylons of Pearl River Crossing

Pylons of Pearl River Crossing (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article gives a bunch of technical specifications of three power pylons in China, but it doesn't really give an explination why these pylons are important. Descendall 07:28, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment If people can simply declare that every 1/2 mile long U.S. or state or county road road is "inherently notable" because they "LIKE" them, then why wouldn't power pylons which are probably more expensive, approved by governmental authorities, assigned numbers, and equally useful to society be just as "inherently notable?" And these seem better sourced than some of the articles about roads or persons of minor nobility. I'm not arguing to keep this, but the question does make me stop and think.

Not that I support all road articles, but non-specialists tend to be more aware of the roads in their area, & they could be said in t hat sense to be more notable.DGG 04:44, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

By that token, if several people know all aboutsome area of knowledge, such as "the ash trays used at Howard Johnson restaurants" or "British telephone booths" or "covered wooden bridges" wouldn't they be "more aware of" same and thus the subjects would become "inherently notable?" Why should anything be "inherently notable" just because a few Wikipedia editors are fans of it, absent some common notability criterion in terms of multiple reliable secondary sources?

I'm totally writing an article about ash trays at Howard Johnson restaurants, now.  :) —Carolfrog 02:54, 10 March 2007 (UTC) Oh, also—here. —Carolfrog 02:57, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
