They all look like SEO spammers to me; I've deleted them
all. 

These ones also looks suspicious:

  http://schemewiki.org/view/Main/ZhiXiongkang
  http://schemewiki.org/view/Main/RonRen
  http://schemewiki.org/view/Main/RonViscardi
  http://schemewiki.org/view/Main/RonNone

Note common ronren company URL for the first two, and webtv
email address (look in the old versions) for the last two.

I think we need to address this fairly promptly, before we
get overwhelmed with SEO spam.
