This sub-stub reads, "Dale Hoiberg is a sinologist and, as of 2004, the editor-in-chief of the Encyclopædia Britannica." In this case, how is notability being established, if at all? Is Wikipedia better off with or without these types of "articles"? GRider\talk 20:32, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete the Encyclopædia Britannica doesn't seem to have an article on him, why should we? Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:51, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. We seem to have an article on his counterpart at another semi-notable encyclopedia, Jimmy Wales. --BM 21:00, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • I disagree. Hoiberg certainly didn't found Britannica, he's just its (current?) editor-in-chief. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:19, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, just under the bar of notability - 180 Google hits. Megan1967 23:23, 22 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep editors of semi-notable encyclopedias. Kappa 02:31, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep Editors of extremely influential encyclopaediae should be included! Just because they critique us doesn't mean we should forswear to write about them!
  • Merge to the Britannica. Radiant! 09:14, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
