They provide raw data, not information or context. By repeatedly citing the google search stats, you are (I assume) trying to justify the existence of a Brian Peppers article on the grounds that he is a noteworthy internet meme, so what is needed are reliable sources establishing that he is in fact a noteworthy internet meme, not sources that merely establish his existence as a person or a criminal sex offender.
No, I've never said anything about being an internet meme. I frankly don't even know what the term means.
I looked into it a bit more, mostly in the [[meme]] article, and while you could probably legitimately call just about anything an internet meme, I'd more see something like "O RLY" or "first post" or whatever the term is for fowarding stupid emails to everyone in your address book is, as an internet meme. I wouldn't really consider Brian Peppers to be a meme, though like I said you could probably legitimately argue for calling just about anything an internet meme.
Of course, [[Category:Internet memes]] seems to have a lot of articles that don't seem to be much of internet memes either. I guess the meme of calling things an internet meme has evolved into uselessness, kind of like the meme of calling people trolls.
