Do you see notablility as a inclusion standard? Or is notability just
a another way to express that something can be verified. And as such
doesn't have a separate meaning (in AFD debates) to judge Wilipedia
inclusion standards?
Yes, I very strongly think that notability is a valid inclusion standard.
What's frightening about this statement is the tendency of some members
of this community to view it as an absolute ''ex cathedra"
pronouncement. In the light of your other comments on this matter, it
is clear that your views are considerably more textured. Some editors
frown upon texture. Idiotic as it may be, it is a fact of life that
some editors will say, "Delete, not-notable," or "Keep, notable," as
their entire justification for action with respect to some article.
Hence I started my RFC against such people (and I'm still waiting for
some more support on it):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:RFC/AfD
I invite everyone who feels that people who simply say "nn, d." or
"keep, notable" or "keep, we are winning" or "delete, let's
get rid of
all of these" are Pains in the Arse and Should Be Shot.
