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.
