User creating profiles for people with no books

[Melody]

My guess is that it is so quotes can be attributed to them. What is our policy?

Actually, the user's not doing it. The quote feature now does this for new quotes without an author in the database.

Delete any quotes that don't meet guidelines. Those appear to meet the notability guideline.

Maybe they just added the photos.

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Yeah. I don't really see an issue with that (assuming they are legally usable photos).

[Melody]

So if people add a quote using their own name now goodreads will automatically create a profile?

[rivka, Former Moderator]

If it doesn't already exist, yes. I've already squashed a few.

So, that means if users keep adding their favorite song lyrics, Goodreads will be partly a musicians encyclopeadia? That's strange.
