Thanks for chiming in.wingsandsword said:Speaking as a wikipedian...
Does wikipedia has a psace problem? Do you need donations to purchase more hard-disk space? Because otherwise, I don't see why you can't have a place for fanzines, local bands, and so on. Not wanting advertisements or entries that can't be verified is one thing; notability is another. There are verifiable local bands, fanzines, private people, and so on - there is just no objective reason to reject entries on them other than what you want Wikipedia to be (a respectible encyclopedia), rather than what others want it to be (a place where they put and share their knowledge).
Why do you care if someone would care in 10 or 20 years, if you have the space? Why do you care if the Head of Vecna was noted in a seperate source, when the primary source can be consulted at numerous libraries?
I strongly disagree with your arbitrary criteria. And as one of the 37,427 who donated money to wikipedia, I feel I've earned the right to bitch about it.
