Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Nowheristan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Is Wikipedia a "free" "encyclopedia"?

All the comments posted on the article NOWHERISTAN can be acceptable: those calling for the deletion and the others showing their support, but this depends on HOW we understand the leading concept of WIDKIPEDIA, claiming to be a "free" "encyclopedia", and WHO reads Wikipedia and WHERE in the world.

What is an "encyclopedia"? Following the definition given by the Cambridge dictionnary of language, it is "a book or set of books containing many articles arranged in alphabetical order which eather with the whole of human knowledge or a particular part of it".

Following the same dictionary "free" means "not limited or controlled".

Who reads Wikipedia? All those who are fed up with Encarta, Larousse, Universalis etc. etc. Those who are looking something else than the conventional traditional encyclopedias, those who are using a site that provides the information that not any other encyclopedia do.

Where are located the Wikipedia fans? Everywhere on the planet: Wikipedia exists in all the written languages of the world: european and anglo saxon languages, but also in Kurdi, Occitan, Tagalog, Scottish, Romani, Sardanian, armenian, basque and many other languages some of them spoken in very small regions or maybe one or two tribes...

That means that when ANYONE on the planet wants to FIND an information that not a single encylopedia can give, he goes to WIKIPEDIA.

For this, and being numerous now in Lebanon and also in many other countries (Egypt, France, USA, Yugoslavia...) to be interested by the NOWHERISTAN, I think we have the RIGHT to be informed, and Wikipedia "THE FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA" has the DUTY to give us the information.

That's why I want the article NOWHERISTAN be kept, with maybe light amendments that can make this article fit Wikipedia in the best way. --Siguiriya 12:04, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
