Please understand, the reason I am posting these quotes is not to reignite an old conflict, but rather to show the difficulties involved with creating articles here, that are not in the "sympathetic" point of view. The Lumeniki article is another example. Two editors deleted large amounts of it on the grounds that it is too long for a "vanity wiki" or that the style was inappropriate. MarkDilley responded with this comment ''"I wouldn't say it was the norm, but it doesn't strike me as being 'wrong'."''[http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Talk%3ALumeniki&diff=70688&oldid=70628] [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 20:35, 22 June 2010 (EDT) | Please understand, the reason I am posting these quotes is not to reignite an old conflict, but rather to show the difficulties involved with creating articles here, that are not in the "sympathetic" point of view.

Since this is WikiIndex, I'd stick to people who are important in the world of Wikis, such as creators of established engines and people like Jimmy Wales. For guidelines on ''how'' to write the biographies, Wikipedia does look like a good model to follow.

: | :I'm really thinking more of [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#G10 the speedy deletion policy on "attack pages"] but I am assuming certain things apply to talk pages, such as if personal information is posted. The more applicable policy would be under [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wikipedia:Office_actions#Short_explanation office actions]. This is what it says, ''"The vast majority of cases are: libel, unjustifiable invasion of personal privacy, and copyright infringement. Since these are all inappropriate on Wikimedia anyway, office actions are preventable: if you see such a violation on a wiki, correct it or delete it and there will be no cause for complaint and no need for an 'office action'."''
