More like policies evolve and older articles are grandfathered in by the fact that they aren't edited and people aren't going back and reviewing old articles that don't meet the newer standards.

You are.

That says it all.

- Gander5739 4mo agoThe problem is there's no monolithic "Wikipedia". If no one nominates the old articles for deletion, they don't get deleted.
- wavemode 4mo agoThe broad strokes of what Wikipedia considers notable has not changed significantly in the last 20 years. What has mostly changed is that there are more editors now, and thus more eyes and also more serious discussion (rigor?) about such things.
- chris_wot 4mo agoDo you have proof there are more editors now? By an order of magnitude? Or don’t mean there are people who like to participate in Wikipedia drama and who don’t actively contribute to article creation?
