Wikipedia eviction

[jwgh]

Today's Slate podcast: http://media.slate.com/podcast/Slate070227_Wikipedia.mp3 is an interview with Timothy Noah, who had a Wikipedia entry and then had it be marked for deletion due to lack of notability. The interview's done by the Sound of Young America's Jesse Thorn.

While I listened to this, it occurred to me that I actually know some people who had Wikipedia articles about them deleted -- actually, I might be such a person myself, if you count the now-defunct article about Interröbang Cartel.

So, anyway, I thought people might find the interview interesting.

Hey! Why isn't Froggy your friend?

infrogmation, that is. He would probably have some lectures ready on this topic.

Maybe we could get [HAMMOND] to contest Interröbang Cartel's deletion.

Wow, the deletionist rampage is actually getting media attention!

I have to say, to me this is a bigger problem than the Seigenthaler thing.
