Evidences?
Lack of evidence to the contrary. When people disagree with something,
they generally say so quite loudly. When people agree with something,

about the application of BLP to a particular article, but few
complaining about BLP in general.
Because you can't effectively overturn that which is opposed from above.
According to WP:BLP, the policy is based on consensus, just like any
other. While it may have been suggested by Jimbo, there is nothing on
the page saying it's imposed by the board.
If we go by what happens BLP does not exist unless an
admin with an
agenda turns up.
*shrugs* Then that's the policy.
It is not an acceptable policy for a rational community.
Then the community isn't rational - that doesn't really surprise me.
