But, then again, Wikipedia is a new kind of encyclopedia, so it may wind
up having new kinds of encyclopedia articles.

Straw man. Not the prevalent idea at VfD at all, but
then, it seems to be common argument of the radical
inclusionist that things like [[List of pizza parlors
in New York City]] is somehow an encylopedia article.
It has nothing to do with "I've never heard of him"
and everything to do with "He doesn't merit an
article."
