Jyoti Raju is a very famous climber in India. In the English Wikipedia there are several climbers even less famous than him but belonging to Western countries. I personally think that an encyclopedia should not discriminate by selecting biographies based on the same criteria all over the world. Personal opinion, of course. The point is that the English Wikipedia is really a worldwide encyclopedia (differently from the other Wikipedia) because language is today the Earth lingua franca. So it should be more global than the other wikipedias. --Dejudicibus (talk) 09:13, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If he's notable in India, why are there apparently no foreign-language wiki pages on this person? --V2Blast (talk) 06:31, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Because many foreign-language Wikipedia are strongly oriented to local people. Of course celebrities like Einstein or Madonna can be found in any Wikipedia, but, differently from English Wikipedia, local wikipideans are used to write article about people they know. For example, in Brazilian Wikipedia there are a lot of articles about soap-opera actors and actresses which are mostly unknown outside Brazil. This is partly true in English Wikipedia and it is NOT a fault of Wikipedia but typical of our society in general. For example, how many famous Chinese actors do you know? I do not speak of actors who performed in American movies or movies distributed in USA: I mean actors that are VERY famous in China. A Chinese actor that is known by 200 millions Chinese people can be ignored by a western Wikipedia whereas an actor known in USA or Italy or Germany by less than 10 million people can have a detailed article. This is a problem I sometime signaled to wikipedians: sometimes we confuse encyclopedic and famous.--Dejudicibus (talk) 10:31, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
