==Would like to see...== |
|||
*Much lower bar on deletion process (current requirement for consensus for deletion is a huge bias in favour of many non-notable articles). Wikipedia is '''''not''''' infinite in time or space or meaning. |
|||
*More established recognition of non-notability deletion criteria |
|||
*Fewer trivial pop culture references from pop culture media which are specifically designed to make numerous pop cultural references (''XXX appeared in an episode of The Simpsons'' etc.) |
|||
*A solution to the over-wikification of dates problem |
|||
*Separate wikis for all [[fancruft]] |
|||
*Stricter guidelines to exclude "facts" created by marketing / publicity campaigns |
