Line 61:

::::::::::::: It is not an interpretation, it is the definition of a [[Personal web page|Personal site]] as defined by Wikipedia. We are using Wikipedia's rules and definitions here. Please read the definition of [[Personal web page|Personal site]], no where does it define a personal site as your definition of "It's a personal site because one person wrote it and put it up." The guidelines you have presented is [[WP:ELNO]] point 11. Since the EL is not a [[Blog]] by Wikipedia's definition, nor is it a [[Personal web page|Personal site]] as per Wikipedia's definition, nor is it a [[Fansite]] by Wikipedia's definition. Therefore, [[WP:ELNO]] point 11 does not apply to this EL. [[User:Paul.wehland|Paul.wehland]] ([[User talk:Paul.wehland|talk]]) 18:53, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

::::::::::::::No, Wikipedia's policies and guidelines do not necessarily follow the definitions given in mainspace articles - if they did, we'd have to control edits there as tightly as we do the policy pages, which is obviously not the case. - [[User:MrOllie|MrOllie]] ([[User talk:MrOllie|talk]]) 18:59, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

::::::::::::::: If we follow the policies, guidelines and definitions linked to said policies and guidelines, then the EL is in compliance with [[WP:ELNO]] point 11. Or, if we do as you wrote above and choose to not necessarily follow the policies, guidelines and definitions, then all bets are off, and it doesn't even matter if the EL is in compliance with #11, or #1 - #10 any of the other points. Because in that case it doesn't matter. So which will it be? Follow the policies, guideline, and definitions? Or choose to not "necessarily" follow the policies, guidelines, and definitions? Either choice leads to the same conclusion; that the EL is valid. [[User:Paul.wehland|Paul.wehland]] ([[User talk:Paul.wehland|talk]]) 15:30, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
