Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Streisand effect (2nd nomination)
Satisfies  and  by the Forbes article and the Globe and Mail article http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20070503.wl_digg0504/BNStory/PersonalTech/home which says "The Digg-DVD donnybrook is the latest example of what's come to be called the “Streisand Effect,” in which efforts to squelch a bit of online information lead to that information being much more widely disseminated than it otherwise would have been." This coverage by two reliable independent sources satisfies  and . The phenomenon of trying to suppress something resulting in the unintended consequence of heightened publicity did not originate with Streisand's attempt to suppress an aerial photograph, but recent discussion of the phenomenon, especially on the internet, has used this term as more specific than "unintended consequences" or the coldwar term "blowback." I could not think of an article to merge it to or to redirect it to. Nixon's efforts to prevent major newspapers, via injunctions, from publishing the Pentagon Papers, is a previous instance of the same phenomenon. Additionally, Wordspy http://www.wordspy.com/words/Streisandeffect.asp cites' "The "Streisand effect" is what happens when someone tries to suppress something and the opposite occurs. The act of suppressing it raises the profile, making it much more well known than it ever would have been.—David Canton, "Attempt to suppress can backfire," London Free Press, November 5, 2005' which would be a third reliable newspaper or magazine reference if someone could confirm it
