Disappointed
I can always be surprised at the worthless, unsourced topics that are be found on Wikipedia; but I am more surprised by the articles that get deleted. Here I thought the greatness of such an "encyclopedia" was that, because it does not have to be printed, it can hold a great many topics and information, including about persons and products that contribute to society; that it does not have to bow to the "smallness" of a subject because it is not physically limited in its size.

I stand corrected. I've always thought that children's books are great building blocks in society and much overlooked, so I began working (slowly, yes) on several articles regarding children's books and authors; however, I will discard them as they are each too small to be of value to this online encyclopedia. I do, nevertheless, think that Wikipedia should review its policies regarding the subjects it chooses to rank as socially relevant. HShistorian (talk) 16:13, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
