Two or three things that make it complicated are:
* Easter Bradford used to be a contributor. He made his own user page and wrote about gay issues.
* Someone (I forget who) made an /article/ about Easter Bradford. This was, I think, the first case of an article WHICH WAS ABOUT a contributor.
* At some point, maybe much later, a whole bunch of unflattering stuff found its way into [[Easter Bradford]].
* Recently, some dude claimed Easter owed him 2 DVDs and threatened all sorts of dire actions (in talk:Easter Bradford) if he didn't comply.
** I think personal business like that clearly has nothing to do with making Wikipedia articles; someone cut it from the talk page, but it's still in "history".

He added the article himself. I daresay that it would not have occurred to anyone else to do such a thing.
