Open for discussion: Inclusion of phone number

Please state your opinion upon including AWC's phone number.

The argument for keeping it is basically that AWC's focus is on the phone calls it gets to the hotline, and the number is a vital part of the article.

The argument for removing it is that BhamWiki is an encyclopedia and not a phone listing. A link to the website with that information is already on the page.

• I'm for it, and my argument is well summarized above. --Dystopos 19:29, 5 August 2008 (PDT)
• Against. My reason is above. --Wheresdib 19:35, 5 August 2008 (PDT)
• Weak for. My opinion is not strong because I feel I'm not familiar enough with AWC to say just how important the hotline is to their identity and operations. Certainly, phone numbers can be important, but I think we all agree we don't want to include the phone number of every business, nonprofit, and governmental body that has an article. Given that we're not going to make this a slippery slope problem, I don't see that explicitly stating the phone number in this particular article hurts and might possibly be of help to some users. --Lkseitz 11:35, 7 August 2008 (PDT)

Any other opinions? Looks like Dystopos and I will have to go into a sudden death tiebreaker if someone else doesn't opine soon ;-) --Wheresdib 18:35, 6 August 2008 (PDT)

• I'd pay to see that. :-) --Lkseitz 11:35, 7 August 2008 (PDT)
