That a fuss is made in the case of Crystal whatsit *even if she hasn't personally filled out Wikipedia complaint form 17-Q-8-B* is not a reason to throw out or radically revise living bio or content policies because a group of apparently single-issue editors think they can swing a DRV vote. BLP beats DRV unless there's some pretty spectacular reason that has yet to be encountered in practice in the last year and a half.
No, the fuss comes from the point that the consensus view has overwhelmingly been to have an article, and that one or two people who allege a BLP issue do not get to proclaim it as such. Especially when there's versions in the history that may be more palatable.
