I am just arguing that there is absolutely no way in hell we would have an article in the case of Carolyn Doran, were it not for Wikipedia navel-gazing. There was no fraud (that we know of), nothing bad happened to us (that we know of), it is just an embarassment and for this poor woman, her rather sad life story is now in the Associated Press. But this whole thing is still amply covered by BLP1E and non-Wikipedia precedent and tradition.
I don't see how this falls under BLP1E, since it doesn't boil down to a single event in any way that I can see.
The single "notable" event is this massive fuss. It stems from a series of independent events, none of which are independently notable - we wouldn't write an article about someone who did one or another or even all of her various past misdemeanours.
