April 11[edit]
Why is there no article on ClueBot NG?[edit]
Why don't MartinBot, Cluebot, BetaCommand, CBNG, and AntiVandalBot have their own articles? They are notable, the BBC, the Verge, and many other mainstream news outlets have written articles on them. Is there some policy preventing the glorification of bots, lest they be deified and all editors turn from the Light? Thanks L3X1 (distant write) 01:19, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- Most likely because you haven't written those articles yet. StuRat (talk) 01:32, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- Nice, pinning the blame on me. :) L3X1 (distant write) 01:36, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- StuRat Actually, it doesn't exist because only admins are able to create the page, and none of them are so inclined. In 2010 the first it was deleted, the reason was "Wikepedia hardly needs an article on its own editing tools". However, IAR, I will draft an article and submit it, later.

- I'm just going to hazard a guess that Cluebot doesn't meet GNG. <does a google news search> Okay, I was wrong. Yup. GNG passed, hammerpants approved. I'll watchlist it and start helping when you move into article space. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 12:10, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
