Now, as a reminder, WP:COI says:
If you have a conflict of interest, you should:

competitors; 2. *avoid participating* in deletion discussionshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Deletion_processesabout articles related to your organization or its competitors;
Am I the only one who thinks point #2 is ridiculously stupid? I think it's a great thing to hear from an officer of an organization when considering whether or not to delete an article about the organization.
Does this carry over to people too? Should Angela not have participated in the discussion over whether or not to delete the article on her? Or is there something in particular about organizations here, that I'm not thinking of?
