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. |

Everyone on Wikipedia seems to know about it, but the real world doesn't give a shit. That same standard applies to most of Wikipedia. Consistency in these things is not one of WP's strong points. I mean where would we be without the hundreds of articles on Japanese railway stations or the Pokemon archive? Or the articles on never-heard-of Norwegian heavy metal bands that released a single and then died? |

If you went through a list and tagged each one for proposed deletion, they'd eventually disappear.) |
