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/Wiki...
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. - From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Doctorfluffy
"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." ____________________________________________________________ Doug Henkle - mailto:henkle@pobox.com
