Wikipedia keeps deleting plenty of pages. There's a lot of self promo, a lot of pages about not sufficiently notable topics etc. You could think that e.g. mayor of your local 5K town will have "slightest notability". Well if that's their only claim to fame, then their nice Wikipedia page is going to be deleted.

Wikipedia is not limited by the physical constraints, but other limits are still present - e.g. the ability to check the validity of claims of the original article and subsequent edits is limited by the available manpower.
- fireattack 6y agoYou're right, biography is definitely a tricky one. When I was replying I was thinking of some common "complaints" about Wikipedia like "why the hell we need an article for every single team's 1928 season in 3rd tier Polish football" etc.
