Handle id #2599 : Yip

Apparently, on 11th April, some American user called TParis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:TParis) decided to delete the wiki page about Jori Olkkonen. I had a look at this TParis profile and he doesn't seem to, at all, be part of anything to do with the C64, or the scene.

I know Wikipedia is open to anyone who can do whatever they like with the existing content, but it's baffling to me why some nobody would want to delete info about a C64 musician.

Anyone else knew about this?

Wikipedia discussion about the deletion shows that the TParis guy noticed the entry wasn't encyclopedically "interesting" and with no valid indipendent sources. Even if he's a "nobody" c64-wise, doesn't matter: if you want a Wiki page to be kept must be written correctly for Wiki mods. Self-gloryfying pages for example are blindly deleted everyday.

its about "notability". only famous people who have been on tv, will stay on wikipedia. its snob site. there is SO much info missing on there.

To be honest; looking at TParis' profile, it seems to me that he's a person who should've never gotten administrator rights in the first place ;-)
