This page is a lovely example of why I don't contribute to wikipedia anymore.
All the arguments are along the lines of, we should delete/keep this, because (WP:A, WP:B, WP:NO, WP:YES, meatpuppets, sockpuppets, random wikipedia lingo, inuslt to people who do not know wikiepda lingo)
I agree shared vocabulary helps communication, but on wikipedia it has become an active tool to discourage new editors. Sad as at one point I believed wikipedia to be the best thing to happen to Internet.

#4Wikipedia should disable "non-notable" article deletion for a year and see what happens. The rampant deletionist problem really hurts editor morale. People spend hours working on articles only to have them deleted, often for arbitrary reasons. For a site that lives and dies by its ability to attract new volunteers, they sure do their best to scare people off.

#5The pro-deletion side come across as dicks, but I think they're right.
Does every piece of software ever written need a Wikipedia page? If you don't like where they're drawing the line, where would you draw it?

What's wrong with every software ever written having a Wikipedia page if someone cares enough to make one?

What would be the drawback?

Personally I think the more obscure something is the more reason to have it on Wikipedia. If I want to find out about Photoshop there are plenty of places I can go to, many of them more authoritative. If I want to find out about some obscure image editor that was briefly popular on the Amiga and then disappeared, then Wikipedia is the perfect place to start looking, since it's not like they still have (or ever had) a homepage.

It wastes 4K of storage that might otherwise be devoted to something more "notable", like a plot summary for last night's episode of Lost.
