Or, perhaps, we could consider that if there are no indisputably reliable sources about a living person, we should not have an encyclopedia article on that person until such reliable sources are available. Or is that too difficult a concept to grasp?
Loosening our "reliable sources" criteria is all well and good when considering something like Pokemon or Star Wars characters, but we're talking about the lives and reputations of real people, and I am vehemently opposed to weakening the criteria for biographical sources.
The point is that the blog *is a reliable source*. Using the blog is not loosening any criteria.
