User:Doctree/sandbox/On bird spit and literary journals -An essay

Bird spit is notable. Literary Journals are not.

Bird spit

edit

Bird spit is notable so it should have an article in Wikipedia.

That spit from the Aerodramus_fuciphagus is the main ingredient of bird's nest soup is well documented.[1] In wildlife conservation, bird spit is essential to innoculate infant bird orphans with essential intestinal flora and fauna needed for digestion...

End section with sarcastic statements about notability of bird puke and bird shit...

Literary journals

edit

Literary journals are not notable. Nobody writes about literary journals. There are no reliable sources to establish the notability of literary journals unless the journal folds or manages to survive for a century or more. Authors only write stories and poetry for publication in literary journals.

That notable authors first wrote stories published in literary journals is no help because notability can't be inherited. That stories published in them were collected into notable anthologies is of no consequence.

Conclusion

edit

I hope that those searching for an appropriate time to invoke ignore all rules might find some insight here.

Please don't write an article about avian saliva. Bird spit is notable only in context, how it is used in traditional Chinese medicine, in wildlife rehabilitation and in exotic cuisine.

Perhaps the next time you see an article about a little know literary journal nominated for deletion, you might consider
