I'd rather change our policies to permanently protect a short, baldly
factual and uncontroversial stub than change our policies to delete an
article on someone of quite unquestioned importance who actively
courts press attention and about whom there is much information
published by reliable sources.

That said, I am in favor of an easier standard for deleting marginal
BLPs - which this is not.
