Don&#039;t make an article on a subject so trivial or arbitrary that no one could ever conceivably care about it. However, not caring does not always mean not notable.}}<br /> <br /> Sometimes on the &#039;pedia there exists an article that, for one reason or another, there can&#039;t be found anyone who cares about the topic. That is not to mean that they are esoteric. We have plenty of articles on math equations that will only matter to a professor. But they will matter to someone. Only articles that can&#039;t conceivably be useful should be deleted under the ideas of &#039;&#039;&#039;No One Cares&#039;&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> Most of the articles that fall under this essay tend to be on the extreme edge of [[WP:FANCRUFT|fancruft]]. There will always be supporters of, say, an article on [[Patricia Tallman|Dr. Crusher&#039;s stunt double]] but there can never be enough interested parties to write a piece on [[chemical properties of Mr. Spock&#039;s fake ears]].<br /> <br /> Note that this does not necessarily mean literally nobody whatsoever on the entire Earth cares, but rather that nobody &#039;&#039;of any importance to Wikipedia&#039;&#039;, that is, none of the people who write [[WP:RS|reliable sources]], care enough to write such material on it.<br /> <br /> == Examples ==<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Filming mistakes from That&#039;s So Raven]] – The AfD that inspired the essay.<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Inconvenient Public Library Hours in Hawaii]]<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fan criticism of George Lucas]]<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Notice posted on the corridor of the ground floor at Hietalahdenkatu 7A, Helsinki, Finland]]<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fictional characters who wear fingerless gloves]]<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Don&#039;t-give-a-fuckism|Don&#039;t-give-a-fuckism]]<br /> * [[WP:Existence ≠ Notability|Existence ≠ Notability]]<br /> * [[WP:No one cares about your garage band|No one cares about your garage band]]<br /> * [[WP:Nobody cares|Nobody cares]]<br /> * [[WP:Expect no thanks|Nobody thanks you]]<br /> <br /> {{Wikipedia essays|notability}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Wikipedia essays about notability]]<br /> [[Category:Wikipedia essays about building the encyclopedia]]</div>
