To me, I think the most powerful thing in the whole post is at the very end it says
Update 4: Jamie Livingston has been added to Wikipedia.
Man takes pictures daily to express his creativity. Those close to him work hard to make it public. A single blogger happens to find out about it and recounts the creativity. The greater social web learns about the life of Jamie Livingston and, in turn, the small expression of his creativity will be felt forever. At least it will be known to whoever wants to search. Forever.
- Kliment 16y agoThis is an excellent argument against the deletionist faction on Wikipedia. Would this be considered notable?
- quizbiz 16y agoThe fact that the article could be deleted didn't even occur to me. If every human being did this, it wouldn't be notable but how is it not notable? Why is there even a "deletionist faction" on Wikipedia? Not storage costs...
- nkassis 16y agoI agree, I find the whole idea of deleting non-notable articles from wikipedia as idiotic. The whole process of determining non-notable things is a joke. They could at least deprecate the articles to a sub wiki, like a universe (compared to main on ubuntu). Deleting is just dumb.
- eru 16y agoThe argument is that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a kitchen sink. (I don't agree with deletionists.)
- ErrantX 16y agoYeh; it passes various notability grounds.
