Controversial BLPs are often closed as no consensus merely because there are good experienced WP editors with strong views on both sides--the result of this will be to say that ''any article to which there is any strong opposition will be deleted if it is a BLP''. However, some of these good and experienced people at WP do not seem to understand NPOV, and think that all controversial BLPs which have a negative implication towards the subject, however fair, should be deleted. The small cohesive group of editors who do not represent the consensus, but are strong enough to represent a minority, will prevail.
Due to the size of the project and the number of editors, isn't this kinda true for most recent policies? ie who shows up and makes the most noise.
