A couple of months ago, on this list, you were pushing an odd interpretation of the WP:BLP policy that allegedly held that, if any admin claimed that BLP was being violated, and deleted an article as a result, then this decision was unreviewable and unassailable, except by a full-blown Arbcom case, even if the original admin was completely wrongheaded about it. (And, given that somebody recently even attempted a serious argument to the effect that [[Jesus Christ]] was covered by BLP because he rose from the grave, one can't be sure of the policy always being applied sensibly; the checks and balances of normal policy and process are important for helping this.) You were claiming (with no justification) that all of this was provided in the BLP policy, but had to back down from that, and the policy now is that normal process such as DRV can in fact be applied, though there's a presumption in favor of keeping deleted in the case of BLPs anyway. I expect much better from somebody in a position of trust who's tasked with interpreting policy and passing judgment on Wikipedians. -- == Dan == Dan's Mail Format Site: http://mailformat.dan.info/ Dan's Web Tips: http://webtips.dan.info/ Dan's Domain Site: http://domains.dan.info/
