::::I mean movie reviews as in: this is a good movie because... or don't see this movie... More Opinionated POV stuff.  I guess I could have been more specific. --[[User:TimSvendsen|TimSvendsen]] 22:57, 15 February 2007 (EST)

::::: That doesn't end up saying much. I mean, Wikipedia doesn't allow movie reviews in that sense either. It isn't clear to me now what precisely would be disallowed by this policy that isn't trivial. [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] 23:00, 15 February 2007 (EST)
 
:3. Count me as against this proposed limitation.  Deletions can always be made later, but at this early stage in the project we want it to be able to grow in many different directions.  Recall the parable about the wheat and the chaff?  Jesus explained that you do not sort the two early, but only at harvest.  No reason to rush to delete and risk stamping out something that might grow and bear fruit.

:I might add that the [[Bias in Wikipedia]] page does not complain about useless Wikipedia entries.  One (of 22) complaints there criticized Wikipedia's bragging about have so many entries, which the vast majority of its entries are frivilous.  That is a complaint about misleading advertising, not a demand for deletion.  Several complaints about Wikipedia on [[Bias in Wikipedia]] are about speedy and arbitrary deletions, something we want to avoid here.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 19:45, 15 February 2007 (EST)
