I took in living memory rather than 2 election cycles. And in living memory to be anyone under 100 years old today and at least 18 when that President was in office. So that only just barely let FDR on the list. Not my fault that only Democrats made the list. That is due to a statistical problem of too few samples to work with than any kind a partisanship. But it is nice to know that being rich fail son is still a substitute for intelligence in this world.

Joe: For the last time, I'm pretty sure what's killing the crops is this Brawndo stuff.
Secretary of State: But Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.
Attorney General: So wait a minute. What you're saying is that you want us to put water on the crops.
Joe: Yes.
Attorney General: Water. Like out the toilet?
Joe: Well, I mean, it doesn't have to be out of the toilet, but, yeah, that's the idea.

limited to those that participate in the crypto industry

If you have your retirement in any of: Fidelity, JPMorgan Chase, Franklin Templeton, Goldman Sachs or BlackRock. Then you probably have had a financial advisor try to push this crypto stuff on you. And even if you say no, they have other instruments that bundle an index that includes crypto.

Maybe there was a time when most of the crypto crime was just committed against people who were all-in on the nonsense. Unfortunately that time is about 10 years behind us. Now we have to watch out that our working class parents and uncles don't get suckered into what is clearly a scam industry.

It seems like any band that ever got out of somebody's garage gets or any professional athlete, however minor, gets a detailed article, while people arguably of greater significance in areas that don't attract as much popular interest do not.

Porn stars. At least back when I quit WP, one of the things that sent me over the top was that every minor porn star (especially female) apparently deserved their own page, while scientists didn't even if they had numerous published articles and citation and done important work - but their field was nothing famous.

The deletionists are one of the reasons I stopped contributing to Wikipedia. It's not like you need to fit into a 20-volume print edition, idiots. You can give every damn porn star who's been in one clip you liked their own page, why not everyone else? For all I care, every human on the planet could have their own page, and every house with a story, and every dog and cat.

Just imagine if the amount of time and energy spent on the deletion discussions alone would go into improving WP instead.

Or, you know, you could use the time to do something about the people hogging their favorite page and considering it their property and reverting everyone else's edits just because it wasn't made by them. Or one of the other dozen issues the site has. But no, whether or not Xav deserves a page, that's what needs discussion. Fuck off.
