Sure these people are harmful, but Wikipedia rules and significance guidelines pretty much encourage this behavior. I remember musician's (it was Asura, a quite notable ambient music composer, if I remember correctly) biography being deleted. For me, the fact that I was actually searching for his biography when I found it's being deleted already shows it wasn't useless. The argument was that there's nothing that shows his significance, and relying on Wikipedia's definition of significance it was kinda hard to argue. I mean, yeah, I don't think he's got any Grammy or MTV awards or if his albums were sold in millions of copies, or some other shit relevant mostly for pop-music. It's not like he is Madonna, obviously. But within the genre he's very much well known, and if he is not notable — well, indeed I doubt even 50% of articles on Wikipedia are. I tried to argue, and checked it later — the article was removed. Instead, "Asura" redirects to (along with the original meaning, of course) to a dozen of movies, games and, you've guessed it — anime characters.
