There's only 6 million notable places, people, businesses, abstract concepts, historical occurrences, species, theories, etc?
Does this mean wiki is actually missing a lot?
Or are there less things of note than one would think?
- killjoywashere 7y agoThere are competing philosophies on Wikipedia, deletionist vs inclusionist. Overall the inclusionists tend to win more than they loose, but the deletionists are a source of resistance to overcome. Some deletionist decisions have been decried as anti-intellectual, but they also contribute to the density of quality, so it's hard to say they're evil. More like neutrals with an incentive, but from the perspective of the self-ascribed "good" inclusionists, the vector between inclusion and deletion points toward evil, and is thus forever frustrating.
