Jimbo, you are one of the few people I know, who never learns from your own mistakes. I don't particularly want to see a page on the woman either, bit if you prevent one, the press will slaughter you and the project.

I don't think it is very odd at all if we follow our normal editorial policies. Writing an article... or failing to write an article... for PR reasons is not the Wikipedia way. NPOV is non-negotiable.
And following our normal policies, particular WP:BLP1E, there is just no way in hell we would have an article about her if it weren't for naval gazing, trolling, or some kind of attempt to manage PR.
Normal Wikipedia policy would firmly forbid it.
