Okay. Considering that this happened in a BLP, this is one of the stupidest suggestions I've seen.

I don't think calling someone "stupid" is helpful here. I do share the opinion that when someone objects to unsourced information in a BLP, it has become contentious at that point and must be removed until and unless it can be sourced. (That, indeed, was the original idea of BLP, and that was the BLP I supported, not this monstrous "Don't hurt anybody's FEEWINGS, sourced or not!" that it's become.) But I can see the other side here, we weren't exactly saying this guy is a child molester.
