I thought for sure that there was a discussion recently on the
List about Graham Vick and the fact that he was profiled in Grove, and
because Grove was unreliable,
Why on Earth would Grove be unreliable?
Oops, I found it. It was a discussion at "Wikipedia talk:WikiProject
Opera",
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Opera
on the subject of "'Notability' or not of Grove". It is no longer on
that
page, and I don't know where past WikiProject Opera subjects are archived,
but it is still in Google's "cache" at,
http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:PTLvJZy8n8oJ:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wik…
Scroll down to "Contents" and click on
7 'Notability' or not of Grove
The discussion started with this:
"Hope this isn't going to develop into a problem, but a user called
User:Doctorfluffy has queried the notability of Graham Vick because the
Grove referenced article (quote) "is itself unsourced [not actually true]
and doesn't establish notability " (end quote). Doctorfluffy's
'mission'
explained on his user page is to expose the non-notability of large numbers
of WP articles. -- Kleinzach 00:57, 31 October 2007 (UTC)"
I'm sorry I incorrectly assumed that "Doctorfluffy" was an
Administrator, and that his mission had been discussed on this list. -

"My Mission
The English Wikipedia has over 2,000,000 articles. That's absurd. Anyone
who even glances at the notability policy will immediately realize that
there are clearly not that many notable subjects in existence. There is so
much crap on here that it makes my head spin. As such, my goal here is to
remove all garbage from Wikipedia. I enjoy tagging articles and
participating in AFDs and I am strongly against all forms of cruftery."
