Although  we have not adopted a "BLP opt-out policy," I do not understand why
a user  would consider it a significant priority to re-create an article

highly-borderline-notable individual who has expressed extreme  resentment
regarding the existence of such  article.>>

I didn't say it was a "significant priority" of mine.
However two points, whether or not its "predominently negative", and  whether 
or not she has "expressed extreme resentment" should have no impact on  our 
mission, in my opinion.
 
If someone is notable, then we should have an article.  And where the  chips 
fall is that person's own fault, not ours.  As long as we present the  sources 
evenly and balanced, if those sources universally denigate the person,  than 
evidently that's what those sources do.  It's our job to represent  them, not 
to censor them.
