Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phillip Greaves
First, the keep arguments above are incredibly weak&mdash;none of them are really rooted in our guidelines and that's pretty significant (there's also a significant  problem, and that most certainly is relevant to AFD discussions). The nominator is absolutely right that this is a BLP1E issue, and I think some of the folks commenting above are interpreting BLP1E incorrectly (at least as I see it). By "event" we don't literally mean one occurrence on one particular day, such that Greaves publishing the book is an event, Amazon selling it is another, the media controversy is a third, his arrest a fourth, trial a fifth, etc. The "event" in question is Greaves writing a book that became controversial and the repercussions that followed. Note that the policy says "if reliable sources cover the person ''only in the context of a single event'', and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them." It's that "in the context of" that's important&mdash;Greaves is only discussed at all because of the book. Again from the policy, "in such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article." That's what we should do here. Either we should recreate the previously merged The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure&mdash;there's a decent argument for that since clearly Greaves' arrest has led to more press&mdash;or both Phillip Greaves and The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure should redirect The_Pedophile’s_Guide_to_Love_and_Pleasure#Pedophile_guide|here. Either would be fine with me, but I think it's pretty clear that this is an example of a BLP1E where we have an article about the event rather than the person. Anyone searching on "Phillip Greaves" would get the relevant info, but we would not have a standalone bio to watchover which would be ripe for BLP violations
