Notability

The notability tag is a concern. As a main driver and author of what is now referred to as the GNG it feels like the idea behind the GNG has got lost. We're here to build an encyclopedia, a repository of knowledge, and we should be discussing the way this article informs people rather than whether it meets a subjective set of wording. That was the idea behind notability, that we ensure that we hold the information to account, that we ensure that we engage with each other and peer review what we do. We shouldn't be tagging an article and not leaving a message on talk about why; specifically, not engaging with the idea behind what Wikipedia is. It's open, it's collaborative, it's informative. Show the harm in the article. Then think about Summary Style and organisational theory. How does the encyclpedia fit, is a link to a separate page better and more concise than information subsumed into a larger entity, harder to find and link to? Choose what's best for the purpose, for the reader, for the knowledge. Hiding T 08:50, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
