[WikiEN-l] Defamation policy hypothetical

[Cheney Shill]

The example is compelling when one is aware of the facts and not merely a single well publicized even in mass media spin.  This may be a useful example for your PR issues also.

Hmm, I might be convinced by what you are saying here, but this example 
does not seem compelling to me.  I think, based on my limited 
recollection of this case, that it more or less turned out that the 
"alleged administrative adventures" were more or less cooked up, i.e. 
that this was a non-scandal.  But I would suspect that reasonable 
Republicans would take the same view that I do: the overall incident is 
still notable, of course.

But I still might agree with your basic point, that notability at the 
fact level is harder to determine that notability at the subject level.
