Plus the big problem of sources curation, those are more unreliable in unpopular articles for the lack of eyeballs on them. The amount of work mods have to do would grow exponentially if they didn't take notability into account.
Maybe you didn't intend this but it sounds like you are saying that Popularity == Notability. I don't think that's a helpful stance to take. Especially since as time progresses, older things will generally become less popular and thus trend towards deletion if what you say is true.
- jQueryIsAwesome 14y agoThere is way too many people writing everyday in Wikipedia for time degradation to be a viable solution, plus it doesn't do anything for the problem of source curation.
- Goronmon 14y agoMy point was that it sounded like you were basically saying that only popular articles should be allowed on Wikipedia, regardless of whether that meant anything older than a few years old should be deleted. Since I don't agree, I was pointing that out.
