[WikiEN-l] BLP conundrum

[daniwo59 at aol.com]

I recently came across the following article: 
_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Sylvia_Browne_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Sylvia_Browne) .  To get you up to speed, Sylvia Browne is a self-professed psychic. 
Invevitably,  James Randi is not impressed. Neither is Danny. 
 
On the other hand, does this merit an article. She is an LP, so this is  
essentially a "Criticisms of a BLP" article. On the other hand, it is quite  
well-sourced, at least from a perfunctory glance at it. 
 
Still, do we want to open the door to these kinds of articles? Criticisms  of 
Sylvia Browne could lead to Criticisms of Uri Geller to Criticisms of George  
Bush to Criticisms of Tom Cruise to Criticisms of [pick your favorite]. The 
very  hypothesis of the article is POV. Surely, this is not what we are here 
for. 
 
I'd really like some input. Ideally, it should be merged, but the precedent  
this poses should also be mentioned.
 
Danny
