 The alternative is OFFICE which is unworkable. If any administrator
 deletes it and cites Biographies of living persons that is the end of it
 until the Arbitration Committee says the deletion was unfounded. Yes, you
 do defer to any administrator who deletes on that basis. However, they
 should be thoroughly familiar with the policy and be applying it
 correctly. If they habitually overreach they will soon be in trouble with
 us. 
Under what policy or ArbCom principle is this?
