[WikiEN-l] BLP conundrum

It looks to me like half her main article is negative, and there is a
large negative sub-article. At first glance, that seems slightly
unbalanced. However, balance isn't just a matter of having 50% good
stuff and 50% bad, it's about having a distribution of good and bad
that matches the distribution of good and bad information available.
For example, an article on a serial killer is likely to be primarily
negative, and that's completely appropriate. Should someone like this
go in the same category as a serial killer? Perhaps. It's a difficult
decision to make.
