Anecdotally: I was down the pub tonight talking to regular humans who aren't Wikipedians about the vexed minor living bio issue.

And I think our hardline policy on BLPs is absolutely what the world would want. The incidents themselves have to be *notable*, not just verifiable. A carefully researched piece of footnoted crusading journalism may be noble, but it's NOT Wikipedia. Having an article in someone's name is a curse, because our page rank puts it straight at the top of Google. Etc. They all got this, immediately. In just the way the people on wiki being querulous about BLPs don't. I mean, I don't know if we can give Doc glasgow a medal for dealing with this rubbish so well on a continuing basis, but we should see if there's a way to. - d.
