Just being COO of WMF isn't enough to even be considered for a
Wikipedia article. Just being involved in a hit and run (etc) isn't
enough to even be considered for a Wikipedia article. The two
together, however, are clearly enough that people are considering it.
That means we can't reduce everything to a single event, since no
single event gives the correct conclusion.
