A small fishing village in Cambodia, or a community of 100 people in Kenya, may well have no internet access at all, and if they have it, they would not likely be visiting the English wikipedia as they wouldn't likely speak English.
Hmm. By the same token, I guess we shouldn't have articles on [[Troy], [[Pompeii]], [[Neolithic Europe]], [[Xanadu]], [[Atlantis]], or [[Mars]].
You're missing the point. I think anyone can agree that Troy and Pompeii have much more global significance than X fishing village, Cambodia.
Um, no, you missed my point. Arguing about notability or "global significance" is one thing. But it makes no sense to bring up the question of whether the location of an article has Internet access, or how many people there might speak English.
