Wikipedia is a reliable source for things about Wikipedia. While BLP may apply, it is not relevant.
Wikipedia is a reliable source for things about Wikipedia itself, not

people involved with Wikipedia.
In this case, Wikipedia is a reliable source for who is indefinitely (or definitely) blocked from Wikipedia.

'Material from self-published books, zines, websites, and blogs should never be used as a source about a living person, unless written or published by the subject of the article (see below).'
Wikipaedia is a self-published source... ergo, not reliable, unless you are talking about what the banned user publish his or her self.
Remember, BLP serves not only to ensure accuracy, but also to avoid destroying someone's reputation over a non-notable incident, such as being banned from an encyclopaedia.
