when a search for his name brings up this article as the #3 hit (and #2 if
you only search for his last name).
We're just recording what has already been discussed in 132 reliable

The Kerry example is especially pertinent as both it and the Santorum
article are an entire Wikipedia article about things that other people
made up about the subject of the article.
