It's also terribly biased towards recent events. Covering older topics on 
practically anything that predates the internet is often difficult. I'm sure 
that had the current notability guidelines existed when I started that the 
CDC 8600 article would have been deleted, because at the time, all that 
existed about it on the 'net was a single poorly-scanned photo-of-a-photo in 
a PowerPoint file. But as an admin,

BYW, I see no notabilty discussion on the Ungana-Afrika talk page. Did I not 
undelete it or were you referring to discussion somewhere else? If you were 
talking about the menion on your talk page, you need to know that it was 
automatically generated and the user in question likely was never aware that 
you responded. Again, I don't expect users to be aware of these technical 
minutae, which is why this thread is so important.
