In the old days, Jimbo described "Verifiability" as the criteria for
inclusion in Wikipedia, and this was endorsed by the description of
"Notability".
Not any more. "Notability" has been redefined as equating
to: worthiness, "attracting attention", supported by secondary
sources, popularity, consensus, or perceived truth.
And articles that are not considered "note-worthy", or balderdash,
are now deleted, rather than described as such.
Is this what Jimbo wants?

Ian Tresman
