covered in another article.
The thing is, Angela has gotten involved with a number of different
things: Wikipedia/Wikimedia, Wikia, and Ourmedia (two non-profits and
a for-profit, all of which are relatively well-known, and all of which
have their own Wikipedia articles). I really don't think it makes
sense to mention this in every single one of those articles - what
makes sense is to have a single article which links to each.
Of course for dignity reasons, it is worse when
the only thing that someone is famous for may be one small stupid mistake.
I think human dignity is certainly a factor, though I'd probably
phrase it as right to privacy. In fact, the first time one particular
article went up for deletion (I think it was Jimbo, but it might have
been Angela), I voted to delete it out of respect for their wishes.
Wikipedia/Wikimedia has gotten a lot bigger since then (I'm not even
sure if the latter existed at the time), as has Wikia, and at this
point I think the public right to know outweighs the individual right
to privacy, at least so long as the article is kept narrow.

Anthony,
Angela is mentioned in these articles even though she has an article.
Are you saying that we should take her information out of these articles?
