So that's the best example I have seen in a while.
BLP won't solve that problem.
We have no shortage of articles that are not about living people that could cause diplomatic issues if an error in them spread beyond wikipedia. The various country X and weapons of mass destruction articles. The various articles on nuclear power plants . It would be fairly trivial to slip say "Russia has supplied plutonium from this reactor to Iran" into [[BN-600 reactor]]. not true of course but believable if you don't know the difference between selling fuel grade uranium (which Russia has offered to do) and selling plutonium.
Ripping out "person X is has some negative trait" from articles on schools and villages is another pretty common activity.
While articles on countries are rather better watched "this town is home to a bio weapons lab" could well get missed.
