24's activities are similar to what User:QIM has done with his Masculism article - except 24 is truly prolific in the amount of material that he/she is submitting (and at least "Masculism" gets about a 1000 hits - mostly emails and personal pages though). I do believe that 24 is harming the project - at the very least this person is causing unproductive angst among longtimes users. The actions of this person is probably also giving visitors and newbies the wrong idea about the project.
He's wasting a lot of people's time.
Don't get me wrong, I am not indicating that the merit of a term is not to be solely based on the number of hits on Google. However, when the content or title itself is questionable, surprising or really not at all NPOV (that's neutral point of view, not natural point of view), then Google can be used as some sort of objective measure of merit.
I think it is time to warn 24 to cease many of the above activities.
Yes.
