Basically, all that we can can verifiably write about
Mr. Peppers is that he
exists, that he was convicted of committing some unknown minor sex offense
and that his photo was mocked by Internet dimwits. That doesn't add up to
Wikipedia material in my book.
I see we have still made little progress in deciding why exactly we
want to have rules on notability, or what notability means in the
Wikipedia context. I'm not disagreeing with you, but I do note that
many others seem to have very different views on why certain subjects
should or should not feature in Wikipedia.
For what it's worth, I feel we should begin by posing ourselves the
question: How likely is it that someone will come to Wikipedia looking
for information on this topic. On Peppers, I would say "fairly
likely".
