Should Local News Anchors be in Wikipedia?
In January, the radio show Weekend America highlighted a deletion debate on Wikipedia about an anchorwoman in Wichita, Kansas, that explores the bigger question of whether local members of the media, even well-known ones, should be included in the work. During her interview, anchor Susan Peters talks about how she would like whatever decision to be universal. One of her concerns is that a news host at a competing station might be included in the encyclopedia after the entry about her is deleted. The segment includes thoughts of two Wikipedians with opposite perspectives.
