Talk:Francisco Castro (footballer, born 1979)

What is this? Just because you were interviewed by some reporter doesn't mean you deserve to be in an encyclopedia article. See what Wikipedia is not for more info. --mav

What bar does somebody have to jump before they deserve an article? It's a clinical psychologist that is noteworthy for discussing his employment as an illegal immigrant.Vera Cruz 10:33 Dec 15, 2002 (UTC)

Wikipedia isn't a phone book, we are an encylopedia. As such we do not write articles on everyday people we might meet on the bus. The text in this article should be merged into its parent article or deleted.

Im sure itll have a parent article once somebody decides to write in-depth about illegal immigrants- for now I see no place else to put it. Vera Cruz 10:48 Dec 15, 2002 (UTC)


 * Meta is fair game for just about anything. How about we move it there? --mav

I just don't see what it's hurting. Vera Cruz

It very presence encourages other people to write about non-famous individuals and Wikipedia is not a biographical dictionary (see point #16). We must keep a clear focus. This is also a well-established rule. --mav

I don't understand. Why is this clear focus so important? Is Brad Fitzpatrick famous? It seems a waste to throw away information that we know is going to be useful when somebody starts writing about illegal immigration.Vera Cruz


 * It very presence encourages other people to write about non-famous individuals. This leads to naming conflicts and worse clutter. There is also the fact that it is not possible to check newly inputted facts in articles about non-famous people. --mav

Brad Fitzpatrick was at least the founder of something. He also got over 50,000 Google hits on things he has written and things that have been written about him. Numerous and different sources. So yes, he stays in. --mav

Wouldn't you want to include a reference to Francisco Castro if you were writing an article about illegal immigration? I sure would.


 * Reference? Simply have the info in an illegal immigration article. There is no reason for this person to have an article. --mav

I agree-but there isn't an illegal immigration article as far as I can tell, and I don't have the time to write one atm. Vera Cruz


 * I doesn't have to be perfect. Just define the subject and then paste-in the text from this article. Other people will take pitty on the poor stub and improve upon it. Such is the WikiWay. --mav
