If every computer programmer, or every member of the board of directors of an organization, or every person who has lectured at a conference qualified as notable, WP would be overwhelmed. Bob Velke is simply a medium-sized fish in a small pond. His name may be known within the small pool of genealogy aficionados, but that hardly makes him notable within the English-speaking world, the target of WP. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.76.131.94 (talk) 16:37, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * What? "WP would be overwhelmed"? I think you're working with the wrong metaphor. For most purposes, WP can be regarded as infinite. This isn't a paper encyclopedia, and space is not a scarce resource here. 201.231.81.53 (talk) 02:05, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
