He just refuses to go away – and why should he? In age where celebs are made at the click of the finger, or in this case a mouse, it’s probably only right that he make the most of his 15 minutes of fame. This time, it’s the Wikipedia story that has returned again and he looks set to finally get that page he and his fans obviously really, really, like…er…want and stuff.
The debate ignited once again when another page was set up for Corey and although it was nominated for deletion, Coreyites rallied behind their hat-dwelling leader to keep the site up with the votes 13-9 in his favour. According to one fan: "He's notable according to media all over the world (and has) 245 hits on Google News as Corey Delaney and 171 for Corey Worthington," another user clearly against the idea said "Once again it is time that Wikipedia decided if it is an encyclopaedia or merely a recorder of mildly amusing but ultimately trivial events,"

MyTake – Why can’t an encyclopaedia contain mildly amusing but trivial events? In fact, I am fairly certain that it does…. A quick look at an online dictionary gives us the following: “a reference work containing articles on various topics dealing with the entire range of human knowledge”. Now, it might not be pleasant knowledge or fruitful knowledge, but it is knowledge.
