Would "Joe Bloggs won the nobel prize." be speedy deleteable (assuming it was true, and not patent nonsense). If so, why wouldn't we want the otherwise deleting admin to just substitute the name for "He" and the period for exclamation point? If not, which nobel prizes are notable, and which aren't?
You'll have to ask Jimbo about that one.
Serves me right for relying on an incident hardly anyone knew about (and fewer remember) for humour ...
Heh, I should have known there was something you were talking about that I hadn't heard about when you mentioned Jimbo.
Of course, the whole concept that "assertion of notability" is a meaningful standard is rather foreign to me.
