[edit] Deletion
I'm tempted to mark this article for deletion. It seems to be about someone not very notable who works for some sort of philosophical con artist (judging by the nonsense at Ken Wilber) Richard W.M. Jones 15:25, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

- Your preferences are not the issue. A high number of Google hits is generally taken to be evidence of notability during vfds. --goethean ॐ 15:25, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

- to term Ken Wilber "nonsense" merely illustrates being bound by a particular (and rather ordinary) point-of-view. Intersofia 05:43, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Strong Keep
This is one of those articles that needs to be expanded, not destroyed. Writing a stub is better than merely requesting an article. A stub, no matter how small, doesn't merely ask for an article. It is the crucial first step that will lead to the full article. The seed has germinated, in the hope and in the faith that others will contribute more illuminating rays of detail.
This is a _wiki_, a living, collaborative encyclopedia.
Those who wish to see only complete, polished and finished articles and so continually delete incipient buds of knowledge before they have a chance to grow and blossom, are stunting the growth of the project and retarding the day when we can gaze at the magnificent edifice of knowledge we seek to build.
Granted, there are many worthless and vanity articles foisted on the wikipedia continually, but in the deletionist zeal, some "babies" are being tossed out with the "bath water". It behooves us all to be more careful and considerate to our fellow wikipedians, many who are perhaps contributing for the first time. They need to be encouraged, not obliterated. This article is a bud of knowledge, not a vanity article. Saniel Bonder certainly merits inclusion in wikipedia, as Goethan has pointed out, simply by the "Google measure" Intersofia 05:34, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
- and Richard, you probably merit an article as well, judging by your level of contribution to Linux and the Open Source movement, whether you would like one or not ;-) Intersofia 05:48, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
