The article was deleted, and at least one ex-admin is rather vociferously stating that it was due to BLP concerns, such as, "Consensus does not govern Biographies of living personshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons." However, doesn't the decision *if* something violates BLP subject to consensus? Without getting into the specific merits of THIS article, as this also relates to the current Badlydrawnjeff ArbCom about the QZ/Little Fatty BLP issue:
While consensus may govern the decision of whether or not something violates BLP, consensus is not the same as majority. The admin should look at the reasons given. If the reasons are compatible with policy, then fair enough, otherwise they can and should be ignored and the article deleted anyway. If the reasons basically boil down to disagreeing with the policy than they should be ignored and told to go and debate the policy in the usual fashion. The consensus that determined the policy takes precedence over the consensus on a single article since (generally speaking) more people were involved in the former.
