Comment: Very interesting. Delete philosopher becaue he is not famous or universally known . Keep article on the every single episode of Buffy the Vanpire Slayer, on the other hand!! I'm beginning to get the basic idea around here: the name should be changed perhaps to Populo-pedia or frivolo-pedia.. What nonsense. Keep or get rid of Buffy and all the other crap that you wouldn't find in any self-respecting encyclopedia except the Populo-pedia.--Lacatosias 09:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do remain civil. If you'd like others to address your concerns, please find a more appropriate place on Wikipedia, but not here. Thank you. —Eternal Equinox | talk 13:57, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, fair enough. Where are such issues discussed?--Lacatosias 18:05, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As far as inclusion of academics, see Wikipedia talk:Criteria for inclusion of biographies/Academics. For Buffy, I don't know. In this case, I say Delete: according to my quick search, this person has barely any publications or citations; this would be forever a stub or a duplication of his CV.

Yes, to be clear, I'm not nearly as concerned with keeping Sungsu Kim (or every single academic philosopher) in the Wikipedia, as I am in getting Buffy, the Simpsons and other such popular nonsense off of it. I am fundamnetally an extreme deletionist, on other words. There's far too mcuh crap on here. This problem needs to be addressed. In the context of all this crap, I begin to thing it's not inappropriate to add a vanity page for each of my hundreds of relatives. Until I find out how to delete Buffy, I still say userfy so I can illustarte and discuss some serious deficiencies that I have found in the selection process for the inclusion of articles in the Wikipedia.--Lacatosias 09:09, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

While I agree (at least in part) with your views on popular culture (I think it's OK to have a concise article on Buffy, but not a whole family of articles on every detail, character and episode), keeping this bio to make a point is not the correct way to go about discussing this change. – Doug Bell ^{talk•contrib} 17:00, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy --Lacatosias 20:38, 11 March 2006 (UTC) so that I can attempt to transform it into a Buffy the Vampire article. BTW, I wasn't even contacted on this.--Lacatosias 20:38, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
