Unless I'm very much mistaken, the idea of
constructing an encyclopaedia is
to gather together crumbs of information that individually are not
particularly helpful to construct a whole which is.
There seems to be a group of people who are intent on pulling out the centre
of the loaf, leaving just the crust which will then implode under its own
weight.
The attitude of "well I've never heard of him so he can't deserve an
article" is entirely too prevalent and needs to be addressed before we turn
into just a list of people *everybody* knows about already.
That's what I mean by "immune system turning into autoimmune disease".
I also find the argument that Wollmann's article was VFDed therefore we
must purge all mention of him to be utterly unconvincing.
