[edit] Makoto Imaizumi

Seems to be noted only for speaking about Wikipedia to media and at events. So have, for example, Kurt Jansson and Arne Klempert for the German Wikipedia and Wikimedia e.V. (both have appeared in national newspapers, magazines, and on national television), neither of whom has (or should have) an article. Wikipedia is such a media phenomenon that being interviewed about it alone does not make one notable. Might reconsider if he receives an official position with a Japanese chapter.

To the closing admin: Please don't forget to delete the pictures.--Eloquence* 00:17, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per nom. Maybe if he receives a very senior official position Bwithh 01:30, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Is there somewhere in the Wikipedia namespace for biographies of users with bureaucrat status? Fg2 02:32, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
  • No. You know, the permission level was called "bureaucrat" exactly because we didn't want people to consider it a status symbol, but a purely functional role for some higher level administrative tasks (assigning sysop, bot status). We could probably have called it "silly wikiaddict" and people would still want to proudly proclaim it in their biographies. ;-) --Eloquence* 02:44, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
