Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/XBWL

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is why it should NOT be deleted:

"An article should not be dismissed as "vanity" simply because the subject is not famous. There is currently no consensus about what degree of recognition is required to justify a unique article being created in Wikipedia (although consensus exists regarding particular kinds of article, for instance see Template:IncGuide). Borderline cases are frequently nominated for deletion and discussed on WP:AFD. Lack of fame is not the same as vanity."

Just because it's not something EVERYONE knows about, doesn't mean it shouldn't be chronicled. A lot of work went into the research of archiving it and, of course, running and maintaining it in the first place. I would suggest removing the Thank You's at the bottom, as those seem Vanity.

I think any E-Fed that has a long tenure SHOULD be chronicled. They're important to e-fedding history and can add to it's integrity. A lot of people put a lot of hard work into this, and a lot of people enjoy it. Why should something that has such rich history not be included in an encylopedia?
