== Jimbo Wales ==

And at least two editors, myself and whoever posted it originally, think it is just fine. So I have posted a message on Mr. Wales' page and asked him to present his opinion here. [[User:Wahkeenah|Wahkeenah]] 01:37, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

:He is already listed in the section [[Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!#Select people who have appeared on the "Not My Job" segment|Select people who have appeared on the "Not My Job" segment]]. The bulleted paragraph for Not My Job in the body of the article should briefly illustrate what the segment is. There are many other much more well-known guests with more memorable appearances. Not that Jimbo's appearance was uninteresting, but adding it on there does little to enhance the description of the segment of the show.

:While it's of minor interest to Wikipedians, the inclusion seems kind of superfluous when the article is presented by [[Answers.com]] or any of the other many, many Wiki-mirrors. The addition as it was written basically stated: "...And Jimbo was there, too." It may be noteworthy enough to appear on our article on [[Jimbo Wales]], but he wasn't so noteworthy a guest that he bears separate mention in the article outside of the list of other Not My Job appearances. [[User:GeeJo|<span style="padding : 0px 1px 1px 1px; border : 1px solid #809EF5; cursor: wait; background: #FFFFFF ; color: #99B3FF">GeeJo</span>]] ^{[[User talk:GeeJo|(t)]]}⁄_{[[Special:Contributions/GeeJo|(c)]]} <small>&bull;&nbsp;17:34, 9 November 2006 (UTC)</small>

::All the more reason to have some reference to Wales in there, so that blind-ripoff sites will advertise his name. If it's already elsewhere in the article, maybe it doesn't matter. At any rate, I don't much care about this triviality any more. [[User:Wahkeenah|Wahkeenah]] 18:10, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

* All of those are excuses for violating the foundational [[WP:Policy|Policy]] [[WP:No original research|No original research]]. There can be exceptions to policy, but these fig leaves do not remotely approach adequate grounds for that. <br>--[[User:Jerzy|Jerzy]]•[[User talk:Jerzy|t]] 23:12, 12 February 2010 (UTC)<br>

==[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for deletion]] nomination of [[:List of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! guests (2005)]]==

<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|42px]]</div>An editor has nominated [[List of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! guests (2005)]] for [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion]]. Opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns.

In light of the fact that, in previous discussion (see above), editors suggested breaking out a list of WWDTM guests in a separate article, those who view and edit this article might want to weigh in on the proposed deletion. (From my point of view, the reasons for proposing deletion are strange. It's especially strange that that article, in particular, is targeted for deletion, while the other eleven years' pages are apparently notable enough to remain. To remove only the year 2005 would leave a hole in the record for no discernible reason.--[[User:HughGRex|HughGRex]] ([[User talk:HughGRex|talk]]) 23:24, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
