User:Tennessee Ernie Ford/Nick speaks controversy

The debate around Nick Speaks
Here's an attempt to summarize the arguments (and rebuttals thereto) on the idea of whether Nick Speaks should get a link in main or talk space (since I'm sure that many of us are having trouble following the WoT). Everyone has my permission to modify the table below, assuming that y'all are fair to views with which you disagree. I apologize in advance if I have misrepresented any particular viewpoint (or missed one).

Please do not debate the topic here or this page's talk; that debate belongs here.

The table shouldn't imply that the ideas deserve equal weight... or even that any decision should be decided by weighing the arguments pro/con. I simply find it easier to understand the controversy by seeing all the elements presented together. I hope that others also find that useful. &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 20:43, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
