Small in the grand scheme of things, but by all means take a look at my absolute first official online encyclopedia article! It's an official biography of Liv, the Ron Paul Girl and internet filmmaker, whom Wikipedia decided was too unimportant to keep a page on and deleted.
How does Wikipedia get to decide that Obama Girl or Hott 4 Hill (an admitted parody on her own blog) is famous enough to keep online but Ron Paul Girl isn't?
Maybe it's because she's a vegetarian...
Long live a free internet devoid of censorship AND a free Republic!Long live... well, Liv!

lol, i think its cuz she's a vegetarian! hahaha, you are soo right though! down with internet censorship!!! she has her rights like anybody to post her views! i don't like wikipedia anyway...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Paul_Girl
not true. she's still there. the page is just being considered for deletion.
if you're concerned about it, go to the page with discussion about deleting her and put in your 2 cents. or go improve the page - quality is why it's being considered for deletion.
I don't think it is censorship if the people that own wikipedia think they do not want it on there. Just like any business out there. Go into a hospital and start swearing really loud and see what happens, or go into a movie theatre and yell "fire" and see what happens.
Business owners have the right to accept or reject based on their preference no matter what we think. When we push private businesses to do what we think they should it will lead down the slippery slope of then being able to tell churches what they can preach.
I agree with brigitte. If you want it to stay then get people to write them, just like anything else when they see the numbers wanting it then they will keep it.
Brigitte & Living,
Thought you might like to know that Wikipedia has officially deleted the Ron Paul Girl page. Even though it was improved, it was deleted for reasons other than quality. Wikipedia listed her as not an important enough celebrity to maintain a page.
As for the issue of censorship, do please note that I did not specifically accuse Wikipedia of censorship, merely of not considering Liv an important enough person to maintain an article on. My statement of 'down with internet censorship' was one made to echo similar statements by Liv, not to indict Wikipedia. If that was not clear, however, I do apologize and now clarify.
