I'm putting in a new thread, just to try to keep discussion out of
unrelated threads. Actually i"m surprised this was only mentioned today,
it's one of the biggest and foulest stinks in internet history.

Original WR mention here.

Article (rather crummy) here, AfD here.

I've disagreed vehemently with deletionists in the past,
but this is one time that I'm forced to agree with them.

That poor foolish girl is a victim of 4chan troll idiocy, which has blown completely out of proportion.
Now she's the focus of endless death threats, stalking, you name it.

She is underage, was not seeking widespread publicity in the usual sense, does not deserve such treatment,
and is not otherwise notable enough to deserve a WP article.
There are thousands of similar personal videos on YouTube, by other non-notable teens.

At most, it should be folded into this list.

The berserk crap surrounding Boxxy is BAD and should be discouraged.

Perhaps a good official policy for persons deserving creation of a BLP would be:
someone who obviously seeks publicity, does not use pseudonyms, and
is over the age of 18. Just saying.

(A note to the BLP inclusionist bastards: you are hypocrites. If you want to post
the real identity of Boxxy online for all to read, then it's time for YOU to post
your personal details online, as well.)


(crap...how does one edit a thread title?)

Also, is it wrong if I think Boxxy is hot? If she's 16, she'd be legal here, and only 6 years younger than me. Hell, my last girlfriend was 2.5 years younger than me. A little young for my tastes normally, considering that in the past I've tended to go for girls a few years older than me as a rule.
