Title: Wikipedia wants to delete Satoshi Nakamoto page Post by: RSantana on June 24, 2011, 03:50:58 PM Satoshi Nakamoto currently has a page on Wikipedia, however it looks like the page will go away. the page was originally marked for deletion, a discussion ensued, and they abruptly closed the discussion and concluded that it should be merged with the Bitcoin article. Despite the majority of those involved expressing interest in keeping the page.
If you are familiar with the wikipedia processes I would encourage you to participate in helping Satoshi keep his rightful place at Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_Nakamoto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_Nakamoto) Title: Re: Wikipedia wants to delete Satoshi Nakamoto page Post by: kokjo on June 24, 2011, 03:55:14 PM Satoshi Nakamoto currently has a page on Wikipedia, however it looks like the page will go away. the page was originally marked for deletion, a discussion ensued, and they abruptly closed the discussion and concluded that it should be merged with the Bitcoin article.

Satoshi could be Tim May with Alzheimer's. Title: Re: Wikipedia wants to delete Satoshi Nakamoto page Post by: RandyMarsh on June 24, 2011, 04:15:06 PM that looks like a detectives homework, not a wikipedia article.
Edit: and thus, yes i agree, it does somewhat warrant deletion Title: Re: Wikipedia wants to delete Satoshi Nakamoto page Post by: foo on June 24, 2011, 04:17:31 PM Wikipedia is correct.
Title: Re: Wikipedia wants to delete Satoshi Nakamoto page Post by: RSantana on June 24, 2011, 04:20:17 PM Ok maybe I'm an anomaly here in thinking that the creator of Bitcoin, a brilliant entity (his real name is irrelevant) who created the worlds first decentralized "currency" isn't worth having a page on Wikipedia :-)

But the article as it stands is not wikipedia material, and yes his real name and as an extension of that, definitive information with cited sources are all very important.
