Abstract
It has recently been argued that non-trivial Brans-Dicke black hole solutions different from the usual Schwarzschild solution could exist. We attemt here to ``censor'' these non-trivial Brans-Dicke black hole solutions by examining their thermodynamic properties. Quantities like Hawking temperature and entropy of the black holes are computed. Analysis of the behaviors of these thermodynamic quantities appears to show that even in Brans-Dicke gravity, the usual Schwarzschild spacetime turns out to be the only physically relevant uncharged static black hole solution.
