The goalpost moving is by definition bad faith.

> What I said isn't bad faith, that's literally not how encyclopedias work.

Changing the subject is yet more bad faith ... what I called bad faith wasn't anything about how encyclopedias work, it was about an evasive rhetorical move.

> it's judgement by trusted authors and maintainers that something meets the quality standards and relevance

That's quite an admission and contradicts other claims on this page that WP's notability guidelines are objective. And neither quality standards nor relevance are the same as notability -- it's almost as if this person has no idea what he's talking about and is simply doing apologetics for a position that he's planted his flag on.

> It's not reddit, there's no upvotes or downvotes.

Silly bad faith strawman. The complaints from people like Ginger Bill (which I don't necessarily endorse or agree with) are about gatekeeping, and the previous comment gave that away.

> I know that's difficult to understand in an age where everyone thinks they're right because they yell loud enough.

Bad faith smug hypocritical virtue signaling.
