Controversial BLPs are often closed as no consensus

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.
