But in cases like these (for private individuals), BLP actually says to
include "*only* material relevant to their notability." As David Gerard
said, including things like someone's GPA is absurd and unnecessary f that
has no relevance to that person's fame. But aiming to write a full balanced
biography directly opposes including only material relevant to notability.
