49 | * DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible |
50 | ** If the Administrivia/PermanentRedLinkClub is any indication, there ''were'' pages that were indeed So Bad, They Were Horrible themselves, but through their self-demonstration, they reduced the quality of the wiki, some of which, like [=Horrible/Fanfic=] violated [[Archive/TheGoogleIncident content rules]] and the Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement, so they had to be cut. |

240 | ** It logically can either self-demonstrate or not self-demonstrate, [[{{Mindscrew}} but distinguishing between the two is impossible]] [[LogicBomb because either can only be proven by tautology.]][[note]]Let's assume that any article about self-demonstrating articles ''does'' self-demonstrate. Therefore SelfDemonstratingArticle is a self-demonstrating article, proving the assumption true. Now, let's assume that any such article ''doesn't'' self demonstrate. Therefore SelfDemonstratingArticle is not self-demonstrating, and the assumption is again true.[[/note]] |
