Arguing  against
using it in general cases of less remarkable people, however,  with
"but what if it's notable! what if it's famous!" is a bit of a  red
herring, because it almost always  *isn't*.>>



---------------------
When Elizabeth Taylor divorced Richard Burton it was front-page news across  
the country.
When Wallis Warfield married the King she made the cover of Time  Magazine.
.
If the divorce is mentioned in dozens of sources, we should mention it as  
well.  Even if it was messy, and probably especially if it was messy.   It comes 
back to RS and V with NPOV and Undue thrown in for good measure.   Which is 
why BLP shouldn't be repeating what these policies already say, it  should just 
say that BLP requires extra-care in following these policies and err  on the 
side of restraint.
