because the article is unenclopedic. WIkipedia is not an
indiscriminate collection of facts, which means that it is not a

260 pages, but it could be shortened. If this is deleted it will
also open up the avenue to delete many other proof articles. It's a

proffessors and sportspersons while content like this is allowed to
stay on.
