After we reach some consensus standard, '''as to what is polite or legitimate''', the second question is, what is the polite or legitimate way to implement or enforce these guidelines? Will censoring actually work or will it result in the [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Streisand_effect Streisand effect]? If you have even one determined "protester", privacy is quite difficult to protect once the "info genie" is out of the bottle. Especially when there are edit histories, and talk pages where most any info is generally allowed, forums where only administrators can remove info from posts, etc. No one is reading only this one site.

This wiki obviously can't use [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wikipedia:Note Wikipedia's notability policy] or it will end up with a tiny list like [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/List_of_wikis this]. | This wiki obviously can't use [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wikipedia:Note Wikipedia's notability policy] or it will end up with a tiny list like [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/List_of_wikis this]. | ||
