:::: I don't think this is the first time anyone has thought of this. I would expect Google's search engines to recognize this scam and filter it fairly soon. But if not, the perpetrators are using our name without our permission and I think that violates our intellectual property. We'll have them explain themselves to a judge if they want to persist in this. Also, we can tell their ISP and it will stop intellectual property violations that use its machines.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 19:27, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

== Pop celebrity pages ==
Ladies and gents, user {{user|ILikeCookies}} has been making some edits, the wisdom of which I seriously question. These pages concern pop culture celbrities like [[Britney Spears]]. My objections are threefold:
# Pop culture is by nature ephemeral, and I'm not sure that we want to offer that kind of, for lack of a better term, ''fluff'' in our encyclopedia.
# Some of these celebrities conduct themselves in an inappropriate manner, and having articles on them might appear as though we accept their behavior.
# They are living persons, some of whom are in and out of courts of [[law]] all the time. Can't you see the [[lawsuit]]s, [[subpoena]]e, ''et cetera ad nauseam''? [[User:Aschlafly|Andrew]], you're an attorney. You know what I'm talking about.
For these reasons, I am recommending virtually every one of that user's new pages for deletion.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 09:37, 16 April 2007 (EDT)
