Considering that it wasn't negative information or at all harmful to the 
subject, *this* is one of the stupid suggestions I've seen. I can accept 
the otherwise rather objectionable community of wiki-lawyers around 
WP:BLP as a necessary evil to avoid some genuinely harmful outcomes 
relating to even temporary presence of very negative unsourced claims, 
but to expand it to things that aren't even negative is truly ridiculous.
