Witness Vince Cosmos: Glam Rock Detective (audio story), included on December 17, 2016, more than a month ago. Since then the page was created and was given a whopping 14 edits. The original and only proponent of its inclusion, User:Fwhiffahder, has made a whole 1 of those 14 edits (and not because he was blocked later on: his edit was full nine days before being blocked). These edits lasted 6 days. Now no one cares about that page anymore. Some responsible users/admins added the infobox, the publisher's summary, (some?) characters. Exactly half of the characters are red links. To be precise, no new character page was created for this story. I concede writing plot is hard (though if you're passionate about the thing...). But with a story inducted based on recurring characters from prior stories, the "Continuity" section of that page is still empty.

To me this page is completely and totally useless to learn anything about Vince or the series. I can see how it is another trophey on Paul Magrs's wall or in Fwhiffahder's noble fight against what he called "f******** bastards". What I don't understand is how inclusion of that page (seemingly, by way of withdrawing information) is in any way beneficial to this Wiki.
