Well, that's the whole crux of the matter. Since truly comprehensive is not possible, where do you draw the line? Ward Cunningham, who invented the wiki, said this [1] about the fight, which I think provides a pretty good way of deciding what stays, what goes: "I think that Wikipedia has been handling that [issue] fairly well. We could talk to people who are a little closer to the day-to-day Wikipedia and they could probably even correct me on this, but I think the more important notion is notable. The community has to agree upon what the criterion of notability is, and that's only because, there are forms of abuse that arise from non-notable people feigning notability. And that's the fight. And once you start fighting that fight, you find all kinds of stuff that doesn't pass muster that wasn't hurting anybody. And you say, well, in the sense of fairness, I've got to delete it too. And that's a tough thing." [1] http://www.drdobbs.com/240000393?pgno=2 http://www.drdobbs.com/240000393?pgno=2
