Steve Bennett stated for the record:
- A subject should not become *more notable* by appearing in
Wikipedia. {The vanity principle}
The larger and more influential we become (and so better able to confer notability), the fewer subjects qualify to join our august ranks.
- A subject should not appear in Wikipedia when many more subjects in
its category or field do not. {The insignificance principle}
Our blind spots must never be filled in. The more we leave out, the more we should leave out.
- Imaginary or fictitious subjects have less right to appear in
Wikipedia than other subjects. {The fancruft principle}
[[Zeus]] has less right to appear than [[Jakob von Uexkull]].
I disagree.
