I think you're over-analyzing the situation with Derida Phil.
On the one hand, you want to create something about Derida, that has never existed in any form before, it seems. That would be a forbidden type of OR.
On the other hand, you feel that what sources exist on Derida don't actually explain Derida. So who is going to explain Derida? You? That's not going to be acceptable.
If the most we can do is what a biography of him, and then state that he also wrote ten books or whatever, than that's how we have to leave it. Brand new explanations, never before seeing the light of the day, would be your own original creation.
Right?
