the media coverage was because Wikipedia is a famous website, Essjay was
not, is not. He came into limelight only because of the controversy created
on the website.
Would this piece be of any value after 10 years? I think not.
It is a serious BLP violation and should be deleted. Imagine something like
this having repercussions for the rest of your life for something which you
did in your teens.

we wouldn't have it.
There was plenty of media coverage of it - that's the usual criterion
for notability of an event.
