The only thing keeping me from deleting Sonic.exe is also a reason to delete it — its popularity. To elaborate, Sonic.exe's 'fanbase' seems to consist primarily of two types of people common on the Internet: Sonic fanboys/fangirls and trolls. Seriously, read the comments on this thing. It's full of people who came on here with the sole intent of making fun of it (and, by extension, us).

I can sort of see the purpose of this "loophole", but the problem here is that both Sonic.exe and its sequel are deeply flawed pieces of writing. Do we really need to deliberately introduce more subpar content onto this wiki? If the original pasta is well-written, I see no harm in allowing authors to post sequels of their own work.

But applying this 'loophole' to every work without regards to the quality of writing will only be detrimental to the wiki. Any rule that interferes with the filtering of bad content and doesn't help the wiki in any way should simply not exist.
