If it's a couple of talk pages, then either ignore it, or, if it becomes a big deal, someone can delete the pages, warn the users, and if, they chronically insist on it, block them. Which pages? Which users? I think the first step would be for someone else to have a word with them about it. Mark

Recently someone has been searching for essays I have written outside of Wikipedia, and has been trying to get people to discuss them on a Talk page for a Wikipedia article. I let this person know that Wikipedia is a project to build a serious encyclopedia, and that Wikipedia does not incorporate the personal ideas of people who happen to contribute to it (even mine!) It is a longstanding policy that Wikipedia does not accept personal original research.

However, this person has ignored this policy, and again used a Wikipedia talk page to criticise and discuss a personal essay of mine, which (a) is off-topic for the specific article, (b) about personal original research, and (c) being done to distract others from working on the actual article itself.

I have removed the off-topic discussions about non-allowable personal original research, but I am afraid that they may be re-instated, with yet more policy violations. Any suggestions?
