Hmm. "Language" and "Language edition of Wikipedia" are subtly
different here. Consider, for example, the Japanese "no non-public
living figures" rule...
Well, in practice the rule on .en is in many ways stricter. Daniel Brandt for
example is not only a public figure but a willing public figure (although
judging from more recent BLP-privacy AfDs, my guess is that an article of
someone of about his notability would be kept as of right now).
