Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Path of the True Heart
I can't see where this has gained any coverage in reliable sources that would show that this is notable. I see plenty of  sources, but not any that are independent and in reliable places. As far as the speech above goes, Wikipedia was never intended to be a repository about every subject under the sun and by that I mean that the original founders always had the intent to exclude various topics. Initially they figured that this would be done under the context of common sense: a page about a successful Japanese manga would be included, while a page about a recently launched webcomic would not. Over time they (and other Wikipedia editors) realized that people were taking advantage of this in order to promote things, try to add wildly non-notable things to Wikipedia, etc, so they tightened the rules and made it harder for the non-notable things to remain on Wikipedia. I can actually point to one of the AfDs that made Wikipedia more strict about notability for books/written materials. (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/America Deceived) In other words, again- Wikipedia was always intended to be exclusive rather than all inclusive. It's highly, highly unlikely that we will ever return to the pre-rules period of Wikipedia. You're welcome to try to argue your point at some of the various avenues (, , for example) but I would say that your chances of overturning years of rules is pretty much nil
