"notable"

[edit]

The person who started a deletion request, where the discussion revolves around notability, now thinks it is opportune to add "notable" to the definition. It is a disruption of the article by pushing bizar and unintelligible WP:POV into the core of the article, and it defies what Wikipedia wants to achieve: a reliable, neutral encyclopedia. It is not only a superfluous addition, but if this User isn't stopped from what seems nothing but revenge editing after not getting what was wanted, it opens the way to add the word "notable" to every single definition in every single article. It not only doesn't make sense, it is totally disruptive. I have reverted the edit two times now, so I will not do it again, but here's my opinion, and I fervently hope there will be others that are able to stop this editor.

I hold a different view, a view that is comprehensible to everyone who can follow my argument, but I understand that that view is incompatible with anyone who thinks "a X is a notable Y" is a favourable definition form for Wikipedia articles. Eissink (talk) 15:56, 15 October 2020 (UTC).[reply]
You hold a view that is clearly not fact-based. And a misunderstanding. What it says is in fact "this list is only for programs/packages that have proven their notability by having an own article.". As such, it is a selection criterion to improve the list. The Banner talk 11:41, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you are under the false impression that this article is called List of cheminformatics toolkits, but even then it would be wrong to think that adding "notable" to the definition would actually say that the list – two paragraphs down – contains only notable toolkits. You are completely wrong here, and if you don't soon admit it, I will continue the discussion on ANI. I'm sorry, but this is all just almost too stupid words.
