Steve Bennett stated for the record:
1) A subject should not become *more notable* by
appearing in
Wikipedia. {The vanity principle}
The larger and more influential we become (and so better able to confer
notability), the fewer subjects qualify to join our august ranks.
2) A subject should not appear in Wikipedia when many
more subjects in
its category or field do not. {The insignificance principle}
Our blind spots must never be filled in. The more we leave out, the
more we should leave out.
3) Imaginary or fictitious subjects have less right to
appear in
Wikipedia than other subjects. {The fancruft principle}
[[Zeus]] has less right to appear than [[Jakob von Uexkull]].
I disagree.
