Analogously, you might say we could have articles about persons on Wikipedia who have a high potential for doing something meaningful in their lives, in order to let people learn about it so they can get in touch. Of course we don't do that, because judging who has a potential for doing something is a highly subjective endeavor, and a promotional one to boot (and therefore POV).
Well I just shared my views with a person that he should probably publish his material elsewhere. He started to generate articles on his lifelong work about connections between mathematical vectors, sub-quark material, changed relativity theory of einstein and redical philosophy. Naturally nobody ever heard of that, and he haven't published it yet, but... look at the unimaginable possibility.
Not that I agree or disagree with people coming up with wild ideas, but I am strongly against using wikipedia as a free publishing and discussion body for original works. (This probably would include languages nobody speak [or heard of] but their author and her 18 friends.)
