Hi Jossi, question on BLP in the context of WP:NOT#NEWS, etc. 

Jossi,

I agreed strongly with your original assessment of this situation and your interpretation of WP:NOT#NEWS in the context of WP:BLP, but when I cited your interpretation after discovering that the BLP had been created solely to report the news, I was shouted down at the BLP noticeboard.

When you get back, I wonder if you could take a look at the case I brought at the BLP noticeboard and comment there, or leave a message on my talk page.

I really am genuinely curious about the idea that an editor sitting around reading the local county paper one day (established by the editor's admission), might see that charges have been filed against an otherwise not-notable-enough-for-an-article living person, and create a Wikipedia BLP to report the news. As WP:BLP appears to me to be among the strictest and most critical of Wikipedia's policies...I really want to understand the seeming disagreement between (a) my interpretation, (b) what I took to be your interpretation, when compared to (c) the outcome of the discussion there.

Thanks...
