Are you seriously suggesting that the late Mr. Bowman, Eagle Scout and computer specialist is a reasonable target for an article in an encyclopedia.
In wikipedia, I would say 'yes, unquestionably, absolutely'. Wiki Is Not Paper. In wikipedia 1.0 for print/dvd, etc., then we will face constraints that we don't face on wikipedia proper.
I wouldn't have much interest in working on such an article, but I see absolutely no problem with it.
If so, then there is such little common ground between what we think belongs in an encyclopedia, that further discussion is worthless. I'd be intrigued to see the opinions of others.
O.k., there's mine. :-) But I hope that further discussion is not really worthless.
