http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2007_May_23#Crys… The article was deleted, and at least one ex-admin is rather vociferously stating that it was due to BLP concerns, such as, "Consensus does not govern Biographies of living persons<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_per… However, doesn't the decision *if* something violates BLP subject to consensus? Without getting into the specific merits of THIS article, as this also relates to the current Badlydrawnjeff ArbCom about the QZ/Little Fatty BLP issue: Who gets to make 'final' decisions on whether an article violates BLP, to merit deletion? Certainly, any admin can delete anything, but any and all actions on-wiki are subject to community review and summary overturn if they are found to be violating established and widely *accepted* community standards. If some are trying to establish a new precedent here, that's fine, but could they also please encode this new change in policy to see if they do in fact have the wide support of their administrative and community peers? Deleting stuff for BLP (the idea, again, not inherently bad if it's a pure hatchet job as *agreed to* by your peers upon widespread review), and then fighting tooth and nail in a backwater virtual ghetto like Deletion Review is not the right way to do things. Be bold and put it on WP:BLP that an admin can delete an article failing given thresholds of the BLP policy. Let's say what a wider group of admins and editors have to say!
