been pared down to just three sentences and then put on AfD for good
measure. We've got decent articles on incredibly obscure species, train
stations, roads, towns with five inhabitants, elementary schools, etc.,
what's the problem with webcomics and furries that seems to draw such
opposition to their inclusion?
Wikipedia, unlike myspace, still requires reliable sources and from
what I've seen, that policy is here to stay.
We don't accept original research, unsourceable affirmations or sourcing
from random blogs and forums.
If you look in the Russian wikipedia article, it even includes an
IRC log, which wouldn't last one minute on en.wiki! :-)
