The page was created by amalgamating two, one of which was the old 'vanity' guideline, the other a page on COI created in September and with obvious gaps. The result has had several drastic haircuts since. More concision work required? Yes, but satisfying the need to have a comprehensive guideline comes before boiling it right down. People do dicker on so, making ridculous extrapolations, if you make it very simple.
