If it gets several thousand Diggs, will Wikipedia still delete the page?

Better people than I have been up for deletion. But I would appreciate it if diggers help keep the page there.

Digg was launched in December, 2004. I corrected the article to reflect.

Don't see why Wiki would delete the page. You have my vote that it should stay up.

It's a shame that the submitter didn't pick a better title. This should have got some homepage attention.

Wiki deleted it. I really like Wikipedia and use it often. It's a great resource. However, their bio deletion policy is ridiculous, absurd, stupid, and foolish. Owen don't take it personally as you *should be there* by any criteria!
