As this discussion continues, I have become curious if there is a correlation between a user's tenure here at Wikipedia and his/her opinion on whether "notability" is a useful criterion or not. This table sorts the participants in the debate (and the related debates on other notability-related page) by the date of their first recorded edit. This is, of course, an imperfect measure since we have no way to know how long anyone edited anonymously before logging in.

So far, this list includes participants of WP:SIGNIF and WP:MEMES. I considered including WP:BIO but decided not to since that page predates the current debate and many users on the page history and talk page are not actively participating in the other "notability" debates.

While there is no perfect correlation, there does seem to be a trend that the most vocal objections to the concept of "notability" as an inclusion criterion seem to be from relatively newer users. (Incidentally, I am disturbed to discover myself at the top of this list. Where are all the old hands?) Rossami (talk) 01:57, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
