You are troping real people and that's not kosher.

To more clarify, we don't trope real life people because it can often come off as creepy, it doesn't actually relate to the fictional aspect of the site(which is what we're attempting to have information for), and can often lead to tons of drama-related editing(as well as making it sound like we care about gossip).

Basically, there can be cases where events in real life can be mentioned about an actor/actress or creator, but only if they directly affect the work, and we keep it brief under Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment.

...It's weird having so many websites and no way to properly display now, lol.
