227Recovering from Online Smears
If you are sufficiently notable to merit an article, you may not be
able to get the article removed entirely. For example, if you have been
involved in a high-profile news incident or have achieved some de-
gree of national fame (or notoriety), Wikipedia editors will be un-
likely to delete the entire article. But, you may still be able to remove
false smears and allegations from the article. If the smear is obviously
vandalism (for example, an all-caps “JOE SMITH IS A H8R” in the
middle of an otherwise factual article) then you may remove it your-
self. Create a Wikipedia account (be honest and use your own
name), click the “Edit” button on the page you want to fix, and re-
move the vandalism.
