Re: [Wikipedia-l] Entries for deletion.... Notability - Wikipedia-l

 I tend to disagree. I have reliable sources giving the
date of birth and
death of my great-(x many) grandparents, as well as a few other facts of
their lifes. Does that make them notable? 
Sure, but no published source in which your grandparent is featured.

...
 I think the internet archive is a
reliable source on the content of webpages. Does that mean every webpage on
the internet archive is notable enough to get an article on Wikipedia? Every
separate game of chess that has its notation published? Lab rat #2687? 
I think there is a difference between mentioning something trivially, 
and an article featuring something. There could be featured chess 
games, which is different from a mere mention.
