"It fails our reliable source requirement."-- geni
Wow. Geni that's truly the remark that encapsulates exactly what's wrong with BLPs, and the irresponsible attitude of Wikipedia.
Nevermind our many biased articles, factual errors, and stuff written from "reliable sources" (aka tabloid sensationalist hatchet jobs), we can dismiss the subject trying to set our record straight because it fails our Scriptural requirement. That's Wikipedia's myopic fundamentalism taken to its extreme.
Ever considered the requirements just might occasionally be screwed?
