Again, I said the rule needed to be reworded. Wikipedia didn't create news in the sense of causing her to be stalked. But (for the sake of argument) Wikipedia's attempt to report on stalking her achieves the goals of the stalkers. Likewishe, Wikipedia's attempt to report on GNAA helps achieve the goals of GNAA. If writing a Wikipedia article implies participating in the story to this degree, then we shouldn't have an article.
True, but we shouldn't be bending over backward to hinder anyone's goals either. If a subject already has verifiable publicity, the fact that they are craving more publicity (or less publicity) should not be the primary concern when making decisions.
