The page actually should be deleted according to Wikipedia's rules. I've been there for about 5 years now. Please avoid using other websites inappropriately as a signpost for OWS, as it doesn't help our image.

Equazcion, here is a link to the Wikipedia entry for Kim Kardashian: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_kardashian And here is one for Casper the Friendly Ghost: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casper_the_friendly_ghost

Kim Kardashian and Casper are both prominent figures for many different reasons. According to Wikipedia's rules, a person whose prominence is based on only one incident doesn't get an article. Even Troy Davis doesn't have an article (though his CASE does, and if this case becomes prominent enough then it will too).

Well then I really wish that the man who maced the girls in the mesh pen's name was Kim Karsashian, a prominent figure. Thankfully the entry has been mirrored.

If you want the page to stay up, you need to add factual, and referenced material that makes it about more than just the pepper spray incident.
