Someone recently posted an entry about Whirled News Tonight on Wikipedia, a communal on-line encyclopedia. Basic stuff, who's in it, how long it's been running, a little about the 'Kyle's in a Coma' pilot for NBC's Dot Comedy that we shot in 2006.

Apparently it's been earmarked for possible deletion. "This article may not meet the general notability guideline."

I use Wikipedia a little for research at work (although not too much because there's a lot of misinformation on the site), but I've never really mucked around in the inner-workings of the Wiki-community. I don't peek behind the curtain.

But as I understand it the wiki-question is... is Whirled News notable, or "worthy of notice"? Kind of a heavy existential question.

I'm curious to find out the answer.

Does Wikipedia really need clarification? Maybe I'm too young.
