There is also some related talk at [[WT:BLP]] regarding deletion
discretion.
I might duplicate the WT:BLP at village pump.
Hijacking this thread slightly but on what I suspect is a related note,
the history for [[Daniel Brandt]] has been deleted. This is not actually
legal as far as I'm aware; the contents were merged into several other
articles after the last AfD and the GFDL requires that the contribution
history of GFDLed material be maintained.
Though frankly, I expected this would happen eventually anyway. This
issue is so deeply partisan that it doesn't seem like any "compromise"
position is ever likely to be satisfactory. The reason for the deletion
was "unneccessary redirect - privacy reasons" - is Brandt's very _name_
now impossible to associate with Wikipedia? I notice that he's not
mentioned on [[Criticism of Wikipedia]], though [[Wikipedia Review]]
redirects there.
I believe the issue was that it was deleted at his request because it was
the #1
google hit for his name. Given the reasons for his request for
deletion in the first place, I guess this should not come as a surprise.
