Allison Stokke's Wikipedia Entry Keeps Getting Deleted

source

Why are Wikipedia users deleting her entry? One person who deleted Stokke's entry gave the laughable explanation of "no evidence of notability (except fringe Internet phenomenon)." Right. The Washington Post is a fringe internet phenomenon. Another person who deleted her entry cited her age, neglecting to mention that Stokke is an adult and there are many Wikipedia entries about people younger than her.

It does no harm and is not titillating to list Stokke, mention who she is and explain why the Washington Post published a front-page article about her. I'm not particularly comfortable with the fact that Allison Stokke is famous, but I'm not particularly comfortable with the fact that Jeffrey Dahmer is famous, either. That doesn't mean I should delete his Wikipedia entry. Face it: This is the world we live in, and if Wikipedia is going to reflect the world we live in, it needs an Allison Stokke page.
