That's an incredibly fine line. To rule on whether
BLP has been applied
correctly without implicitly ruling on the suitability of the content will
be almost impossible.
As I've noted, in practice it's admin judgement or a number of admins.
("What do you think of this one?" "Kill it." "Nah, just cull it
severely." Etc.) Some are harsher than others, but if you spend a lot
of time dealing with the attack shite that people try to pour into
Wikipedia you'll get pretty harsh about BLPs. (*glances in Doc's
direction *)
