- scott_s 17y agoWe need more than one person to maintain a Wikipedia page. Multiple people should be able to vet an article's accuracy. I think the concept of notability sometimes isn't that the topic doesn't deserve an entry, but rather that there aren't enough sources to make the entry obviously accurate. (Granted, I understand sometimes the argument is that a topic doesn't deserve an entry.)
- crux_ 17y agoIn that case, why not just accept a bulk-import of Freshmeat or download.com into Wikipedia? (Rationale: someone cared enough to write the description text on those sites, so it seems a safe assumption that they'd care enough to write the same text into Wikipedia were it allowed.)
- Semiapies 17y agoOtherwise, someone would have to make their own fan site for stuff like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer_episodes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Buffy_the_Vampire_Slaye...
