    It is too bad to be addicted to drug and alcohols. Get rid of it. It is very simple. Visit us, it is more informative and useful.

    Occasionally, this policy leads to the deletion of valuable material, but mostly it keeps out the crap. I recently instigated the deletion of one interesting and informative–and, I’m fairly certain, true–article that very clearly violated NOR. It left a bad taste in my mouth and reminded me why I don’t participate in any of the constant push to delete content that is clearly accurate but fails to meet the requirements for Notability and NOR.

    According to the study, 90% of young Americans play video games, and among those, nearly 15% – around 5 million kids – could be addicted. The report also mentions that young people will be more prone to other addictions as adults when they’ve been hooked on video games in the past.
