Wikipedia:Pages needing attention: Difference between revisions

Much of the above is Seb's WikiProject Concepts stuff. I have no objection if he wants to create pages like that, I'm only asking that he doesn't litter the main Wikipedia namespace with them.

And then there is someone (I don't know who) who has been added articles on all different sorts of "organizations", with the problem that the articles are just a priori generalizations, and in some cases are obviously wrong. I've already deleted a few of these questionable articles (e.g. homicidal organization), and the only reason I don't delete them is I don't want to lose what little useful content they have in them. -- SJK

I generally agree with the above conclusions: I think we should not invent categories but use well-established ones in choosing article topics. The way to proceed, I suppose, is to try to communicate with the person or people who are responsible for creating the pages, explain the problems, and see if you can come to a consensus about it. I think nearly everyone can agree, indeed, that we should not invent categories but use well-established ones in choosing article topics; and that ought to be enough to convince people to take some appropriate action. --LMS

Go ahead and delete them. Innovation doesn't have a place here. Sorry it took me a little while to realize it. --Seb

But do the articles contain any useful encyclopedic content that should be moved elsewhere first? --LMS
