[edit] Mondaine

Heartwarming story, but this person gets only 19 Google hits, and the article reads like a promo, possible a copyvio (although nothing turns up on the internet). Improperly named, but I don't want to move it until notability is estabilshed, and not much in the article suggests encyclopedic notability. -- 8^D ^gab 20:24, 2005 Apr 5 (UTC)

• Is this only an encyclopedia for famous people? Or do the "unsung" heros of local communities have a place as well? It seems to me if this is to establish an internet community based encyclopedia, it needs to include information regarding people who are not yet well known, but still play a significant role in the grass roots development of our society. The organizations this man has established have already begun to make very significant impacts in Portland, Oregon. He has a substantial congregation, and is known by virtually every significant political leader in the city of Portland and the general state of Oregon. Perhaps the article needs to be re-worded in effor to not sound so much like a personal promo? (unsigned vandalism by user 64.122.245.169, moved here)--InShaneee 20:54, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • The question, "Is this only an encyclopedia for famous people?" rather captures the point. This is an encyclopedia, not a directory, so indeed the "unsung" heroes get left out (at least until they get "sung"). However, if this pastor's prominence continues to grow (as the trajectory outlined in the article suggests), then he may certainly cross the bar of notability in the future. It would help if the article was not written in such a promotional tone. Frankly, most biographical articles about contemporary figures contain both the laudatory accomplishments of their subjects, and criticism of the same. -- 8^D ^gab 21:27, 2005 Apr 5 (UTC)
