    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.
