A lot of these are not paradoxes just special guest and actor allusion: Celebrity Paradox

I was looking at the celebrity paradox page and noticed a lot of them are just Guest Stars or regulers whose actors are not mentioned anywhere on the show, like Brooks Shields on Quantum Leap or Gary Sinise on CSI others are Actor Allusions that specifically avert the paradox by having them not talk about the actors past work like when Newhart watched a show about a psychiatrist or having them both show up at the same time like the Fran on The Nanny or Art Carney and Jackie Glasson on The Honeymooners these could probably be moved into their own section because they purposefully avert the paradox

There is one post about the American Godzilla ("Zilla") being mentioned in a different Godzilla movie. It's the wrong movie they named. The movie that happens in is Godzilla: Final Wars, not Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah as posted

There are also a lot of Recursive Canon examples inappropriately mixed in. I think I'll move a few.

The American Godzilla is mentioned in two movies.

In Final Wars he's called "Zilla".

In the other one he's not named but they say something to the effect of "the Americans say they were attacked by Godzilla but we don't". I don't think the movie was GMK but I don't remember which one it was.

It seems to be the problem that the description is practically an invitation to Fan Wank. Perhaps it should be recast to exclude examples of shows where celebrity X was name-checked in episode 220 but made an in-character appearance in episode 284.
