User:Master Thief Garrett/Don't add sewage to the already polluted pond
(Redirected from Wikipedia:SEWAGE)
This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
This page in a nutshell: Don't keep an unnotable page because there are other unnotable pages.. |
Voting "Keep. Wikipedia already has <insert franchise name> pages just like this one so this one should stay too" or "Keep. Wikipedia already has lots of <insert unknown garage band> articles that are very similar to this band, so this band should be kept as well" is a fallacy.
Let's use a real-world example. If you move to the countryside and find a nearby pond is full of sewage, do you dump yours in there too simply because it's already polluted and so it won't matter?
"Of course not", you say? Well then, Don't add sewage to the already polluted pond. If other pages are just as unencyclopedic and non-notable, nominate them for deletion too.
