Joe McInness

Joe McInness until recently had his own article that was voted off because he is not considered notable. I'm not sure how he's less notable than any of thousands of other people with their own artices. For that matter I'm not sure why people are wasting time deleting non-notable articles instead of writing the articles for anything that's more notable. But anyway, I thought I'd point it out. Maybe if additional information is available the McInnes article could be relaunched. Dystopos 20:46, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Just wondering if there was precedent for/interest in splitting this list into, say, athletes, politicians, entertainers, etc. --Dystopos 21:53, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
