This isn't anything new. "Wikipedia is an

important policy. That means that we don't include the entire gene sequences
of organisms, source code for entire free-software programs and yes pi to one
billion places (or anything above 40 places for that matter).
agreed. you and I and many others here understand what is meant by that.
Seems some people don't.
These things have and should continue to be deleted right away and without any
apology. I am surprised that the pi to x places entries weren't deleted right
away.
I would gladly delete those pages right now.
But I fear that Fonzy and Lir will resurrect them, and we'll have
another edit war on our hands.
Then again, we've explained over and over and OVER again why they are
not material for an encyclopedia, and Fonzy & Olivier just don't seem to
get it, and Lir (IMO) is just trolling.
What's the correct course of action? an interminable debate on deletion,
or an interminable delete/create war?
Focus people! We are building an encyclopedia. Granted
a huge one, but an
encyclopedia nonetheless.
Yup.
