Don't have the patience to read the whole deletion policy page. Why would they want to delete such a thing? Is it inconceivable that some day somebody might stumble across the word "dwm" and look it up on Wikipedia?

As it happens, I watch [[dwm]] and [[dmenu]], and when they went up earlier today, I did my usual searches. Turns out there are quite a few dwms, and all the ones in places like Google Books are not this dwm.

People don't want Wikipedia to be dump for all possible information.

Yes they do.

Personally I want EVERYTHING in it, even if it's not notable, I don't care. The guideline should be: would 1 other (un-involved, un-related, etc) person on the planet be interested it? Then put it in.

I want to see a page on tips and techniques on laying brick, and page on the history of the coffee house down the corner from where you live. Everything.

They are opposed to its encyclopedic nature?
