Jimmy Wales wrote
In the meantime, we have an article that is most
likely a copyvio, and
in any event contains a number of totally unverifiable sources. And any
movement to do something about this sort of nonsense is met with the
view that people are out to censor pop culture or something like that.
The further layer of distaste comes from the feeling that proper 'verification' is
probably a matter of taking hype as gospel. Rock stars are advised not to take their press
releases seriously, as a sanity check. The same for us, I hope.
What is the 'wiki way', here, though? It is certainly not a question of sudden
moves. We have always had a way of 'bearing down' on bad material. Probably we do
need to look closely, at the specific issue: what is a _reliable source_ here? It has
become axiomatic that no reliable sources means no coverage.
