Or to put it another way: Should there be a WP:FAME policy? Not to be too 
much of a smart alec, but this thread is about "defamation" after all. To be 
fair, in my criticism I may have been confusing WP:OFFICE, WP:LIBEL, and WP:BIO, 
and wound up somehow blending all of these together.

So its good IMHO to see that people here have *finally* been able to re-spin 
WP:BIO in terms of NPOV, rather than making all of these references to LAWSUIT 
and CUDDLE, which were entirely confusing. 

Once again the criticism has helped to clarify the message.
