User blog comment:PsiCubed2/Let's Bring this to vote, shall we?/@comment-2033667-20170703235105

just some thoughts -- i started this thing when i found a bunch of cool pages on large numbers and decided to aggregate all the info on them in one place. there was a crucial assumption in there: i had assumed that nobody would take notice of my silly little corner of the net, and the wiki's relationship to the web at large would be entirely passive. since i just added whatever interested me, i never stopped to form coherent notability guidelines. it never crossed my mind that this wiki would grow a user base and begin to create feedback loops with its source material, which exacerbates the total lack of a notability philosophy.

personally i think there are maybe a hundred or so articles on this wiki that are legitimately interesting and high quality. i wish we could create a splinter site that has only a serious treatment of large number studies (also a good time to move on from wikia, which is now called FANDOM or something?). by "serious" i mean "anything that's not middle school level garbage." but there's no way to ensure that the splinter will have any kind of longevity, so probably a dumb idea.

my vote doesn't mean much since i'm not active here, but i support any decision to tighten the notability guidelines on here. in all sincerity, good luck.
