Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Shankbone
Please consider this simplistic question as an ironic muse and not meant to denigrate anyone in these discussions, but will there soon be a referundum to delete any article about any editor who has a notability that stems from, is a result of, or developed from their work on Wikipedia, even if they are covered by sources outside the project?  Sometimes and surprisingly, the outside world does pay attention to what goes on within these pages. Not to be ing, but I'd hate to see this escalate to the point where we have new debates over inclusion of such as Jimy Wales, Larry Sanger, or Richard Stallman.  And yes... editors may not wish to classify David Shankbone with these luminaries, but where do editors wish to draw the line? Even without Wikinews, the available off-Wikipedia sources appear to meet the inclusion requirements of ... and that would seem to indicate some rewrite or cleanup if one dismisses all Wikinews, but not deletion
