Reasons for deletion: MacMinute was no big deal. In the scheme of the history of computers and the internet the granularity which describes a MacMinute is one incredibly boring history.
Reasons for keeping: It's history. Stan Flack was one of the primary early adopters of the internet as a way for people to converse and exchange information. Stan created MacCentral then moved on to create MacMinute. These forums where the buzz for in the know Macintosh users who were in love with their computers.
OK, time moves on and forums are really no longer relevant. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn have made them irrelevant. But don't we want to keep a historical reference to what occurred?
Yes, on the one hand Wikipedia does not want to be the Encyclopedia of information all piled up around 2000 to 2011 present but that is the nature of the beast.
Personal aside happened yesterday: I was in an old Gloucester bookshop and realized the paragraph I was reading was describing the personal attributes of my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather in 1635. A huge book with a $150 price tag on it. I asked the owner if I could xerox the one page. He got irate and said it would cost me $150 to copy.
I guess the take home message from the preceding is that one can have an incredible amount of info but that one sentence is so precious to someone 400 years later. Are you asking to delete that one sentence about Stan who besides being a pioneer in the internet frontier was also a good man? MBCF ( talk) 02:29, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
