IMO, this is using BLP as a hammer to beat scandal and

stories out of Wikipedia, even a well-sourced one, and I suspect that
it is done out of a belief that Wikipedia should not be reporting on
such - that it is 'unencyclopedic'. I don't think that point of view
has strong consensus.
That's not how I see it. I see it as preventing Wikipedia from being
used as the primary vehicle for publicising barely-known negative
material about barely-known living individuals.
