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.

Recently someone has been searching for essays I

written outside of Wikipedia, and has been trying to
get
people to discuss them on a Talk page for a

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?
