[edit] Importance criteria
Does this article lack information on the importance of the subject matter?
An article is "important" enough to be included in Wikipedia if any one of the following is true: - There is evidence that a reasonable number of people are, were or might be concurrently interested in the subject (eg. it is at least well-known in a community).
- Most people in the London Borough of Merton , and to a lesser extent Greater London are intrested in Mitcham Common. It also recives 340,000 hits on google. Laurenceandrews 08:28, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- It is an expansion (longer than a stub) upon an established subject.
- Mitcham Common is an expansion of the article Mitcham, which is an established subject. It is not very detailed at present, but is is longer than a stub and more content can easily be added. Laurenceandrews 08:28, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- Discussion on the article's talk page establishes its importance.
If an article is "important" according to the above then there's no reason to delete it on the basis of it being: of insufficient importance, fame or relevance, or currently small or a stub, or obscure. (Detailed obscure topics hurt no-one because it's hard to find them by accident, and Wikipedia isn't paper.) Note that notwithstanding these criteria, other Wikipedia deletion policy may still apply to an article.
- For what it's worth Laurence, I heartily agree with you. Mucky Duck 08:36, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
