Poetry
Is a poem appropriate for an encyclopedia?
- I see no reason why not. DanH 21:22, 27 January 2008 (EST)
- No, everything in the entry needs to add value to the article. A poem, while nice, does not provide any insight into a person or an aspect of their life, and can in fact do the opposite (if Hitler wrote a nice poem then it would not be wise to post it because it would serve to create a false image of his person).
- The reasoning for my removal was threefold:
- It was not encyclopedic, see above
- It was longer than the body of the article, which does not reflect well on Conservapedia. The editor who added it has also spammed a number of links to personal homepages and sites which do not connect to the article in any way (www.picture.com for instance)
- The apparent opinion at the end, "CHKP 1978 - Written 30 years ago. Nothing has changed!" violates guidelines.

That's good enough for me. I guess i'll remove it and then anyone who want's it back can argue their point here. --Ben Talk 21:31, 27 January 2008 (EST)
