In the meantime, we have an article that is most likely a copyvio, and in any event contains a number of totally unverifiable sources. And any movement to do something about this sort of nonsense is met with the view that people are out to censor pop culture or something like that.

The further layer of distaste comes from the feeling that proper 'verification' is probably a matter of taking hype as gospel. Rock stars are advised not to take their press releases seriously, as a sanity check. The same for us, I hope.

What is the 'wiki way', here, though? It is certainly not a question of sudden moves. We have always had a way of 'bearing down' on bad material. Probably we do need to look closely, at the specific issue: what is a _reliable source_ here? It has become axiomatic that no reliable sources means no coverage.
