There is a vote to delete Library 2.0 from Wikipedia. I am not going to say anything except quote my comments on the AFD page:

I hate the term. But the very fact that there is a debate around the issue means that that debate should be vocalized. The article should spell out completely the criticisms of the term and let the reader decide.

I would apply this to my philosophy of religion (or the religious at the core of various religions) in general:

It is not good to talk about Zen because Zen is nothingness … If you talk about it you are always lying, and if you don’t talk about it no one knows it is there.
