I'd say nuke anything like that from orbit, along with any critic-esque writing that claims to describe the hidden allegorical meaning of a film, painting, book, music video/song lyrics, etc., without providing a reference from the director, artist, author or other creator of the item in question.
Couldn't we consider citing, say, the enormously vast corpus of Actual Serious literary and artistic criticism? Original research is one thing, but attempting to prohibit using any research whatsoever may be going over the top...
