[edit] It's a start...


People who know my vociferously negative take on how Notability is being [ab]used in AfD and elsewhere, and my general siding with the camp that holds that Notability (at least as presently conceived) is doing as much harm as good and does not have as much consensus that its proponents claim, would probably be surprised that I created the first draft of this. I think it's pretty comprehensive (perhaps too comprehensive, and certainly too wordy). It also never says "notability" or "notable" once in it's text :-). I'd like to see that feature, and the whole not-quite-notabillity approach retained (though I'm not willing to fight very much about it. Heh. If the ongoing raging disputes about notability eventually lead to more solid consensus and Notability becomes a better accepted Guideline or even a Policy, then what we have here (or rather what it'll be by then!) should probably be a really good ready-made official Guideline on this subject area.

This post no longer reflects my views; WP:N has actually come a long way in the last couple of months. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] 20:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
