Re: Aaron Conners on Wikipedia

Yeah I noticed awhile back that Aaron Conners wasn't on Wikipedia anymore and wondered why... I was going to say earlier in this thread when we were talking about what Wikipedia is and how they don't allow non-factual stuff etc. there, that the drawback to Wikipedia now trying its best to be totally accurate and only filled with certain relevant information has made certain aspects of it closed to certain people and areas of information.... 
Wikipedia is great though, I just think some aspects have gotten a little delete key trigger happy.
What constitutes as "notable" though, why even try and classify what 'notable' is at all? Surely its purely based on opinion and not fact. And wikipedia is all about fact... That's like saying all cult classics and niche/cult writers aren't notable because they haven't got 200 pages on Google about all their Emmy awards (I exaggerate but you get the idea
). Aaron Conners may have had a lot more results on Google if Tex Murphy had been released after the 'web 2.0' era of the internet where everyone and their dog is blogging about games and their developers...
