Deletion of Wikipedia Art controversy

Comment: As a domain name dispute it is so minor as to be laughable. It would be receiving no coverage at all if it wasn't for the people involved hyping it and seeking to present it as something it isn't. It seems that there is an attempt to use the domain name dispute as an excuse to reopen the argument about the rights and wrongs about the original deletion of the "Wikipedia Art" article (the one that was supposed to be an artwork in itself, rather than an encyclopaedia article and hence got deleted from this encyclopaedia for not being an encyclopaedia article). Domain name disputes are ''normally'' only notable if they get to court, and even then only if they are significant cases, but this seems to be picking up some limited RS coverage despite it being a complete non-story. The problem is that RS coverage is RS coverage. We can't pick and choose which RS coverage can be used to reference an article just on the basis that we suspect it to be poor or trivial journalism. I am yet to be convinced that the coverage in RS sources is "significant", as is required, but I can see that it is close. The other hurdle to overcome, which nobody has mentioned yet, is . I am not sure whether this article falls foul of that or not. Maybe it is too early to say.Maybe there is a case to keep this article. After all, there are many other Wikipedia articles about subjects which are only notable because somebody chose to hype them and the RS press chose to allow itself to be hyped. We can tut and roll our eyes but we can't sweep them all away. An encyclopaedia has to cover everything notable, including the shallower and more minor things to become noted in the world. This doesn't bother me. What does bother me is that '''the article may be an ongoing source of disruption'''. (Note: I am not suggesting that this itself is a reason to delete.) It will need to be monitored closely to ensure that it stays on-topic (i.e. keeps to the domain name dispute), only relies on genuine RS references, does not give give |undue, |biased or promotional coverage of what remains a very minor matter
