Just look at the unblock request I have on my talk page and the sections I've linked (particularly the link to the section at the bottom of my talk page) it will tell you everything you need to know.

I read Rose's draft. Each of the sources mention "Encyclopedia Dramatica" no more than twice (including the one solely about it); and one of them was in a comment to the news story.

Sure, it exists, but none of those really say much of anything about it. All in all, I would say ED is about as notable as Daniel Brandt. Everyone on Wikipedia seems to know about it, but the real world doesn't give a shit.
