Ignore it, that'd be my call.

The Self Demonstrating page about Doc Scratch is based on the character from Homestuck. Whether if the page was built properly for a Self Demonstrating page, I don't know, but I figured to give a heads up about the origin of Doc Scratch (contains spoilers for Homestuck).

The reason it's fully spoilered is because the character from Homestuck (his sheet is here btw) speaks in white text. I don't know anything about Doc Scratch, but I would assume he took his name because he is a fan of the comic.

It's not a Contributor page, and the history shows that the Troper Doc Scratch has never touched it.

It's just a Self Demonstrating page, with the spoilers being a way to emulate the way Scratch "speaks" in the webcomic (which is in all white text).

In other words, it's just another superfluous Self Demonstrating Page.

So now the question is whether it's worth keeping.

We have a thread for Self-Demonstrating Character pages. You can probably bring it up there.
