 BLP, ethnicity, gender 

Remember a couple of years back, when I tried a common subpage for both policy and guidelines? And you objected, so we split them back up?

Well, as I predicted, they've diverged over time. And now the wiki-lawyers are arguing that ""policy"" trumps ""guidelines"".  Since the BLP policy doesn't specifically mention Ethnicity and Gender, while at least a half dozen guidelines do, it's been disrupting WP:CFD, and WP:EGRS, and quite a bit else.

Could you take a look at the main (above), and see whether you support adding Ethnicity and Gender into the policy?

And do you know of anywhere that the Policy and Guidelines has language about precedence?

I suppose that this boils down to prescriptivism versus descriptivism, yet another matter we have discussed. We need both, because the wiki-lawyers look for loopholes.  "
