Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Rishloo (2nd nomination)

Wow. It amazes me how Wikipedia claims to be 'The Free Encyclopedia', yet users continue to delete articles which provide information, on the basis that said articles "Aren't notable enough". Seems contradictory. Consider someone searching for information on this band. A week ago, they would have been able to find information regarding the band here. Now, they can't. And all because some little fuck taught he was all that and tried to make some sort of impact. Thanks to that person, people are going to find it even harder to find information on the band. After all, how are people supposed to learn of a subject if people keep deleting their articles because THEY don't find them notable enough? How can a band increase their notability when they compete with far larger and more popular bands, such as Metallica or Lady GaGa? Especially when the smaller band is independent.

Thanks to those people for this deletion anyway. Your work is truly inspiring for other users. They find what they can regarding a certain event, person, or whatever else, and then create an article about it/them. And along come other users and delete this information. Wikipedia calls them users. Decent users call them Bastards.


 * Users looking for information on Rishloo won't be harmed at all. Rishloo has a web site, a MySpace page, a Facebook page, and pages on Allmusic, Last.fm, Youtube, Amazon, and dozens of other sites, all of which have more information on the band than Wikipedia ever would. Our goal is not to have information on everything; the rest of the internet has taken care of that. Our goal is to be a good, verifiable encyclopedia, and step one of that, unfortunately, is finding some subset of topics to write about. If we allow topics that aren't independently notable, the quality of the encyclopedia goes into free-fall because we will have to allow everything. We've increased our standards quite a bit since 2004–2006, and the increase in quality of the encyclopedia is quite clear. —Noisalt (talk) 12:12, 16 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry for that. I was just angry to see the article go. My apologies to all.  mÆniac  Ask! 22:05, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
