Deletionpedia – an archive of non-notable culture

Deletionpedia is an automatically generated site which archives pages which Wikipedians have decided are not notable enough for their encyclopaedia. As someone who has had enough of their contributions deleted that they really can’t be bothered anymore and whose interests tend towards the non-notable by any reasonable definition, I find the site delightful. Check out the Pages on Wikipedia for 1000 or more days for a nice filter of stuff that isn’t spam but isn’t good enough for our editing masters. It’s like a pool of the mediocre, the average, the also-rans the flotsam and jetsam of culture. It’s humanity in all its glory.
