Dewey Decimal Classification

Melvil Dewey, the inventor of the Dewey Decimal classification.

  • ALT1:... that before Dewey Decimal Classification (inventor pictured), books in most libraries were arranged first by height and then by order of acquisition?
  • Reviewed: Exempt (Third party nom)

  • 16px The topic is very notable. The hook is of great interest (it's "obvious" but I admit I never looked at it that way), is referenced in a recently added paragraph with a reliable source published by a notable publisher. I've only skimmed the rest of the article, I rely on the reviewers who agreed to its good article status. However, even if we consider the whole period in which the article was brought to GA status [1], in no way we can consider the text to have grown fivefold. I would IAR this requirement given the very good standing with regard to the others and considering that the hook is a recently introduced information making an otherwise tough/"boring" article more accessible/palatable, but I refrain to do so given my bias towards librarian topics. I'll let someone else decide. --Nemo 18:53, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
