User:Interiot/WP:IS an indiscriminate collection of information

Wikipedia is increasingly being used for raw data storage rather than for merely encyclopedia articles. m:Wikidata is one proposal to handle this sort of thing.

Examples of data dumps in article space; separate pages which have no prose whatsoever, and which would likely be deleted if they weren't attached to a more encyclopedic article (with AfDs in brackets):

• Category:Airline destinations [1] [2] [3]
• Category:Chemical data pages

Cleanup methods:

• {{context}}
• Category:CIA World Factbook cleanup
• {{db-empty}}
