  • The previous argument is literally from WP:ATA.  Our article on Argument from ignorance includes the following statement (referenced to pragmatism), "a position must be demonstrated or proven in order to be upheld, and therefore the burden of proof is on the argument's proponent."  An aged notability tag is not evidential by itself.  We've already seen in this cluster of nominations that one of these notability tags was added by an editor now banned for five years.  In another AfD case, seven references were added to the article after the notability tag was added.  Notability is not a content guideline, and a failure of notability can never be determined from article content including tags.  A statement in the nomination is that notability couldn't be established.  How can the results be replicated?  In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we WP:AGF regarding the work of our volunteer authors.  Unscintillating (talk) 04:38, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
