Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Memory Alpha (4th nomination)
I'm not going to bold the word "keep" here because what I am going to say is not really supported by policy right now but I found it interesting that one editor said his search for sources was hindered by an assload of forum and blog postings mentioning the subject. As I recently said on Talk:Godwin's Law in response to someone who thought WP was "creating culture", the intent of  is to make sure nothing becomes notable '''because''' of Wikipedia. It should not be possible to say ''nobody knew me/us/it/them from Adam until we got a WP article''. If something is mentioned in enough forums, blogs, and Usenet groups independent of each other, I would say that it has become notable and therefore an article on that subject wouldn't significantly increase the level of the subject's notability. However, such a standard, if ever adopted, should never be applied to BLPs
