june utc i don't disagree in principle with anything you've written above i would have no problem with a much stricter notability policy that favored importance over other concerns however what you or i might prefer takes or should take a back seat to what is and what is does not require so stringent a standard at least the way i read the current notability standards in my view david boothroyd met these standards though barely so even before the minor scandal after it i think there's no question he does while i share your concerns regarding the future of such articles the article as it currently stands in userspace presents no viable blp concerns as far as i can tell on a tangent i am actually considering reworking the notability standards in a way that addresses your concerns above as my first wikipedia space project there are so many nobodies that have articles currently that i think this is a rather necessary change as this would be a major shift i don't plan on working on it on the actual page but using a sandbox of some sort could you advise me as to both the feasibility of taking on such a project as well as how to creat a draft like com's current boothroyd article thanks unitanode
