Let me pick the second one from that list, and
repeat it here in full:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawn_Edward_Bowman,_Jr.
Shawn Edward Bowman, Jr. (19XX-September 11, 2001) was a computer specialist
and active Eagle Scout. Born and raised in Staten Island, he worked as an
information specialist in the human resources department of Cantor
Fitzgerald in the World Trade Center.
He died at age 28 in the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack in the
destruction of the World Trade Center.
He was survived by his then-pregnant wife Jennifer and his son, Liam (age
2). His son Jack Shawn was born January 2002.
He was an Eagle Scout in Troop 43, Staten Island. He was a member of the
staff of Camp Aquehonga for 5 years. He worked in various positions, working
as the Camp Services Director in 1992. In the summer of 2002, Camp
Aquehonga, after raising over $15,000, rebuilt the campfire area as the
Shawn E. Bowman, Jr. Ampitheatre.
Are you seriously suggesting that the late Mr. Bowman, Eagle Scout and
computer specialist is a reasonable target for an article in an encyclopedia.
If so, then there is such little common ground between what we think belongs
in an encyclopedia, that further discussion is worthless.
I'd be intrigued to see the opinions of others.
I'm puzzled about this entire discussion. I thought that this collection of
biographies of all of the 9/11 victims was one of the jewells in the crown
of Wikipedia?
