White House rose garden, entrance to Sea Gate edit

I hate to ask this, but … w:WP:POINT? —RuakhTALK 13:12, 2 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

As it says in boldface atop that page, that "documents an English Wikipedia behavioral guideline" (emphasis supplied).

Okay, okay, I shouldn't have made them. I was curious to see how far this new rule would be applied, and wanted, yes, to make the POINT that it could easily be malapplied. I'm surprised [[White House rose garden]] is on its way to being kept, but I note (here, anyway) that the reasons given for the deletion — speedily, no less — of [[entrance to Sea Gate]] are not based on the CFI.​—msh210 15:09, 2 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

As I've pointed out before, the generic deletion comment "Not dictionary material, see WT:CFI" is misleading, as CFI doesn't mention the topic. Furthermore there's nothing written in CFI to exclude entries like Michael Jackson, Barry Bonds or Drew Barrymore, we just circumnavigate the problem by deleting them on sight.
