While the policy is only that if you want to create an article or stub you should take responsibility for it by creating an an account, which seems fine to me, I've seen a number of pages of people I'm familiar with who have what is best described as a cult following (if you don't like them you're not likely to care about them) either defaced totally or with phrases or paragraphs in them intended to incite. I see this as a positive development because it reinforces courtesy and responsibility, both of which the Wikipedia itself requires but can't necessarily enforce. I certainly hope your favorite Wikipedia never requires it.
