ugh, wikipedia is a disconcerting place... Some arbitrary group of people decide what is "important" or noteworthy, and delete any other stuff at will... Rather than being a place to find information on anything, it is a place to find information on stuff that an arbitrary group of people deem worthy...  Kinda sad. What does it matter to the wikipedia powers-that-be if an article is only viewed once a month or once a year for that matter, or if an article is lacking information? If it enlightens someone on even a basic level, isn't that in some way accomplishing what an "open-source" encyclopedia was set out to achieve?

So what If I want to find some info on a band or person or subject that isn't "noteworthy" or "wikipediaworthy", if I find some information and it fulfills my desire for knowledge about that subject, isn't that what wikipedia is out there to accomplish? I'm not saying that everything should be allowed on wikipedia, but if it is not advertising or slanderous, what does it matter if someone reads a book by an obscure author, or hears a song by an obscure band, should they be denied information on wikipedia because it doesn't meet arbitrary rank of worthiness?
