I don't think it is very odd at all if we follow our normal editorial 
policies.  Writing an article... or failing to write an article... for 
PR reasons is not the Wikipedia way.  NPOV is non-negotiable.

And following our normal policies, particular WP:BLP1E, there is just no 
way in hell we would have an article about her if it weren't for naval 
gazing, trolling, or some kind of attempt to manage PR.

Normal Wikipedia policy would firmly forbid it.
