Why cant ALL elections and ALL candidates in ALL
countries be covered?
Its important enough for alot of people, it is googleable information
and it can be easily verified. Meh, usually when people say an article
is unimportant it's because they are ignorant about the subject. :-)
Which leads me to another question I've been aching(sp?) to ask for
quite some time. When is an article to narrow or not important enough
to be on Wikipedia? Are there any rules or policies explaining it?
I agree that it's appropriate to cover all election. We can end up
carrying material that nobody else has. There can be no hard rule about
what is relevant in human knowledge. We can only have guidelines that
tend to be accepted by the community. I tend to favour a broad
interpretation of what is worth including. Changing that standard could
be a problem when we prepare a publishable version.
