Wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion/Svend Ovesen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Keep: There are several articles os things like "Love and marriage", a TV series that is important to american people but does not have any importance to us latin-americans. I have noted that in Wikipedia the standards of notability and importance are always given from an USA point of view. If some one who is not important to people in USA it does not means that the person is not important in other parts of the world. And Google is not the perfect judge for history or people.
One example: The caribbean pilot may be of little importance in USA. But Rudy Giuliani, some obscure north-american mayor, has an article on him. I bet that if I wrote an article on the mayor of my city, it would be deleted. Because none of Wikipedia administrators have heard a word about him. "He´s just an obscure man from Brazil", thay would think.
The encyclopedia is "world-wide". You can not judge the notability of people by north-american standards. "Married with children", "Rudy Giuliani" - no one of those subjects is important to me or anyone in my country. And we do not ask them to be deleted.
