Good grief, Carcharoth, there it is!!!!! Brilliant!
I've been stumbling about for years looking for a way to differentiate
between legitimate encyclopaedic biography, which Wikipedia should do,
and
the problematic, armature-journalistic, selectively biased, originally
researched, WP:NOTNEWS skirting, stuff that causes all the problems. If
we
could just agree on that definition you've given all would be well.
No chance of that happening, unfortunately.

Thank God!
Wikipedia:Ignore all rules is still policy.
I couldn't find an obituary for Joel Renaldo, but I still had a lot of
fun researching him. Anyone who doesn't think he is notable should ask O.
Henry, if you can find him these days.
