[WikiEN-l] BLP, and admin role in overriding community review

[Fred Bauder]

That depends on whether they claimed there was a violation. If they claim there is a violation, and you think there was not, follow dispute resolution procedures. Avoid wheelwarring. If they don't claim there was a Biographies of living persons' violation then it is just an ordinary dispute where you should participate in discussions about what to do and see where it goes. If an article does not violate Biographies of living persons, it reverts to the usual decision process regarding deletion. I should say, usual awful process. With respect to your own behavior, I think it is probably better to accept decisions once they are made rather than indefinitely continuing to try to reverse it.

An admistrator who blocks them for that behavior will be desysopped. Any administrator may delete and protect against recreation an article which violates Biographies of living persons. An administrator who reverts that action, whether or not they have community support, will be desyopped.
