the media coverage was because Wikipedia is a famous website, Essjay was not, is not. He came into limelight only because of the controversy created on the website.
That is a good summary.
Would this piece be of any value after 10 years? I think not.
You are almost definitely wrong. Why don't we wait 10 years, and if it's of no value, we can delete it then. Deal?
It is a serious BLP violation and should be deleted.
A violation of what? It's an assiduously accurate and well-sourced article.
Imagine something like
this having repercussions for the rest of your life for something which you did in your teens.
Essjay is not a teenager. He is an adult. And I'm sure that many people can well imagine having repercussions for the rest of their life for something which they did in their teens, so I'm not sure why you brought up that irrelevancy.

Personally, I'd delete [[Essjay controversy]] - we only think it's notable because it's a Wikipedia-related topic. Any other website and we wouldn't have it.
There was plenty of media coverage of it - that's the usual criterion for notability of an event.
