deserves an article, but the underlying question is important and
interesting: should anything that somebody bothered to write up be
accepted into Wikipedia, assuming it is NPOV?
Something else to consider; is there any way we can _tell_ if it's NPOV? If
I write an article about some guy that nobody else here has ever heard of,
I could put anything I wanted in there and nobody could edit it because
nobody would know if what I wrote was true or not. I could make people up
from scratch and immortalize them for posterity.
This has already come up with some other super-obscure topics in Wikipedia;
[[pre-automatic dictatorship]], for example. Only the original author of
that article seems to know anything about this, and so nobody can tell if
the article is legitimate information or crackpottery.
