Hoi,
The point is not about people. It is about presentations given at
Wikimania. They represent the best effort at the time of a Wikimania and
are therefore highly relevant.
I am sad that people like John misrepresent the issues at hand. They are
three:
- are Wikimania talks relevant
- should consideration for Wikimedians be any different from the way we
treat other people
- is it ok for a Wikidata admin to delete a lot of content without any
discussion. At this time it is easy to observe that Wikidata do as they
please, they require of others big "community" efforts and easily do as
they please without considering the Wikidata policies.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hoi,
A question that is very much under discussion is if presentations like
these deserve a place at Wikidata. Given the subject and the relevancy of
our current state of mind on subjects like these it makes perfect sense.
We
are already able to produce lists using the tools
provided by Magnus to
update when new talks of a conference or on a subject are present.
What do we think? Are presentations like these notable? Are the
presentations of Wikimania notable?
Context for Gerard's post is:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Contro…
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2016-July/009158.html
I believe it is highly off-topic wrt the subject of this thread about
Katherine's talk, which cant be compared with creating Wikidata items
about non-notable Wikimedians simply because they presented at
Wikimania.
