What to do with pages like this one. It clearly (in my mind) does not belong in an encyclopedia, but who defines the limits? Any ideas? --[[User:Snoyes|snoyes]] 01:42 Feb 22, 2003 (UTC)
: Perfectly OK, factually verifiable content. The original version was not NPOV but now it's fine. We have many articles about websites, so why not about newsgroups? Many of those have their own culture. --[[User:Eloquence|Eloquence]] 01:51 Feb 22, 2003 (UTC)
Personally I see Wikipedia as a source of knowledge for everything, sort of like the library in Alexandria but obviously much more flexible and more readily available. Therefore, I see it is okay to have pages describing newsgroups and such like as these are an important part of human culture.

Nonetheless, Wikipedia does attempt to maintain a [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]]. And the [[list of newsgroups]] entry does state that users who want to add articles about newsgroups should focus on newsgroups that have enough of a history to warrant their own articles. -- [[User:Modemac|Modemac]] 02:03 Feb 22, 2003 (UTC)
Surely, if Wikipedia attempts to maintain a neutral point of view, then there should not be an elitist attitude about which newsgroups are worthy and which are not? If it's <b>neutral</b> then all should be treated the same?
