agreed. you and I and many others here understand what is meant by that. 
Seems some people don't.

I would gladly delete those pages right now.
But I fear that Fonzy and Lir will resurrect them, and we'll have 
another edit war on our hands.
Then again, we've explained over and over and OVER again why they are 
not material for an encyclopedia, and Fonzy & Olivier just don't seem to 
get it, and Lir (IMO) is just trolling.
What's the correct course of action? an interminable debate on deletion, 
or an interminable delete/create war?
