Interesting deletion/BRD of a Popular culture section
There is an interesting discussion of popular culture going on on the Talk page of a spaceflight-technology article that some of you might be interested in. Has to do with the removal of a pop culture reference where few in the current generation of Wiki-editors and readers are familiar with the breadth and depth of this particular pop culture reference, which was very popular in the 1920s-1950s, and therefore has a very small constituency of wiki readers today: those over 70 years old, who are sufficiently computer literate to be reading Misplaced Pages. In other words, it won't likely have a group of wiki-editors who are advocating for it at all. If any of you find the topic of interest, feel free to review. N2e (talk) 12:30, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
WikiProject X is live!
Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Resources
I added a couple links to the main page in a new section called Resources. I figure if this project is serious about its goals and principles, why not help members find serious discussion on pop culture topics? Maybe that Family Guy reference does have relevance. Cheers, and feel free to add more sites, journals, etc. Just please no wikias :) --Animalparty-- (talk) 04:10, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
PC inclusion criteria for Arcology
Arcology is an article about a subject that appeals to science fiction writers, and predictably, it has developed a rather long list of IPC items that dominate the article's prose. I tried to trim this list by removing those items for which no apparent source (including the work itself) explicitly connected elements of the work to arcologies. Beyond My Ken (talk · contribs) reverted me several times, and reverted me when I tagged the items as OR instead of removing them. He accused me of "defacing" the article by tagging items as what I believe them to be. He further asserts that a PC item is sufficiently sourced if the item accurately describes elements of the PC work, and an editor concludes in his/her judgment that the element is an arcology. The effect, which you can see for yourself, is that almost any fictional inhabited megastructure can be thrown into the article as a presumed arcology. He invited me to debate individual items with him as to whether they are or aren't, but with seemingly no obligation on his part to produce sources establishing relevance. I declined to do this.
Is BMK right? Does the ban on original research have such a flexible "judgment" exception? Can items be included in PC lists based on an editor's judgment that an item is truly relevant, without any source that verifies that relevance? I would like an outside opinion. 50.185.134.48 (talk) 05:11, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
- I think WP:IINFO is pretty clear on this. Multiple entries in what's essentially a list have no sourcing establishing their significance. I've tagged the appropriate section of the article and noted my action on the Talk page. I'm willing to give it some time before making any deletions, but I think you're right that it needs to be pared down. DonIago (talk) 16:42, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
