The one I quety is this, under the "not a genealogical or biographical dictionary" heading:

A good measure of achievement is whether their lives (or deaths) were newsworthy, that is, that there exist external sources on the people.

It seems to me that Cunc has added this so he can better justify the keeping of the Sep11 casualties in Wikipedia.

any thoughts on this?

Cunc and I got into this on my talk page too. I mentioned that the consensus was to move the tribute pages to the sep11 wiki and he indicated that since he did not agree with the "consensus" that there was no consensus and therefore had no obligation to follow it. This, IMO, is working against the wishes of the community. With the exception of Jimbo, nobody here has veto power. Am I wrong on this point?
