A student email directory? In what way is that not original research?
Let's be even more clear about it. EVEN WHEN INSERTED, the claim was that the name used to be at a certain page (quite probably a flat out lie), and NOW is behind a login page.
I am a little ashamed to admit something here, but I will. A while back, I thought about Robert Mugabe, whose story I used to follow in the news quite regularly, and I went and read our article about him. I remember reading this about his children not being subject to a travel ban. I did not follow the link to see the source (I was not editing at that moment, I was just reading Wikipedia like any other consumer of information).
A little bell went off in my head that this was a link directly to a student directory, but I ignored it. That's a real shame, because if I had been reading with a little more intensity about BLP issues, I would have removed it.
