[edit] Libby
[copied from the WP:BLPN#Lewis_Libby, where this "addition" was posted:[for context]: --NYScholar 21:57, 28 March 2007 (UTC) [updated: --NYScholar 09:53, 29 March 2007 (UTC)]
I would add to this discussion whether others think it appropriate to list Libby on the Temple Rodef Shalom page. He is the only congregant listed. Notmyrealname 20:24, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- If one knows of other notable congregants who have articles about them in Wikipedia, one is free to add them, in keeping with Wikipedia guidelines and policies. [Note: I did not create the page on the temple, and I was not the user who originally added Lewis Libby to the article. After Libby's conviction, given the existence of a Wikipedia article on him, and the references to the temple membership in the reliable source provided by Ron Kampeas, as cited, I added the relevant source information and improved the wording of the sentence someone else had originally added....] Related question: Why is this temple notable enough for an article in Wikipedia? (I didn't create the article, and I don't know the answer to that question.) This "discussion" topic is perhaps more appropriate for Talk:Temple Rodef Shalom, where the user did not post it first before coming here to post it. I suggest that if one has a dispute about the content of that article on Temple Rodef Shalom, one needs to raise it on that talk page for further discussion by other users and/or to put that dispute somewhere else[....] --NYScholar 20:56, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Notability of the temple

- It is more notable than most high schools. There are Wikipedia inclusionists who feel that every high school in the United States is notable enough for an article by their mere existence. I have found that it is very difficult to fight such inclusionists. Quatloo 22:01, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

- The listing of Libby on this page is hardly off topic from whether the Temple should be listed on Libby's page. Now that we are here, however, is it accepted practice to single out individuals who happen to be members of houses of worship? What if it's reported that he rents from Netflix? Should we include his name on that page? Notmyrealname 01:21, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[Please note: I myself listed "Lewis Libby" (now just "Libby") as a section heading in this talk page after the previous user began talking about this article in the WP:BLPN notice on Libby. I am hardly saying that the very subject that I have listed (as per the earlier heading "Lewis Libby") is "off topic" in this talk page; I moved it here because I think that here is where it belongs (not in the BLP noticeboard about Libby); re-read my comment. I am not replying to the previous user (I left his/her comment in the BLPNB; I simply copied it for context here. I am actually replying to Quatloo here, who was replying to me. I had already moved the piece of my comment that he was replying to to this talk page, and therefore what he said had no referent and was "off topic" in the WP:BLPN. The previous user has a tendency to think everyone is referring to him/her. That is not the case. I have no interest in him/her or in replying to him/her. I am focusing solely on the content of the articles, not on the contributors to them. --NYScholar 09:44, 29 March 2007 (UTC)]
- Then I respectfully request you stop saying things like "The previous user has a tendency to think everyone is referring to him/her." Notmyrealname 15:58, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
