We probably should have a Wikipedia article for every office building in Chicago.

We probably should not have a Wikipedia article for every hackerspace in the world.

We may want more articles about hackerspaces on Wikipedia.

If we do, it does not help that almost everybody who has ever gone so far as to give their planned hackerspace a name has probably also added a (crappy) page to Wikipedia about their planned project.

Maybe there aren't articles for every building in Chicago... but you can look up almost every block/building in NYC.

You act as if every hacker space is only in the planning stages. I'm a member of a functional, and running hackerspace that's doing just fine and in action today.

Me too. Our hackerspace has been involved with national events to promote science and engineering.
