I think Charles' point about the immediate
after-effects of the
September 11, 2001 atrocity needs some expansion.
Maybe so, but I wasn't
trying to make a broad-brush point.
[[Wikipedia:9/11 victims]] should give anyone not around at the time
some idea of the issues enWP faced.
There was a memorial wiki as well, which eventually was locked, I
think. A link is on the page Charles mentioned. FWIW, Wikipedia's
approach to articles on the victims of a disaster/atrocity is fairly
consistent. In general there needs to have been prior coverage that
would have warranted an article, for such text to survive as an
independent article.
