Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anthony Bologna
The  concern is inapplicable on its face, given that Bologna has not been accused of a crime, and the article does not assert that he has committed a crime.  The BLP arguments seem just as absurd.  Anthony Bologna is an internationally-famous, high-ranking government official, who had already been described as "top brass" in a 2010 New York Daily News article (http://articles.nydailynews.com/2010-05-02/local/27063246_1_stats-show-big-move-shootings), and was the subject of the multiple biographical pieces that are noted in the article.  His involvement in alleged civil rights violations during demonstrations surrounding the 2004 National Convention has been noted in some of the most important media outlets in the world, from the NY Times to the UK Guardian to the Atlantic monthly.  A total of 26,800 web pages are presently returned from a google search for "anthony bologna" 2004 (including the quotation marks), with many top results coming from major media sources.  Some editors have pointed out that the 2004 incident wasn't big news until after the 2011 incident came to light.  But how is that in any way relevant?  There's absolutely nothing in the rule that says that press coverage must be contemporaneous with the event.  If anything, this just shows that much of the media have exactly the same rule that Wikipedia does, with many articles only discussing the 2011 event because of the existence of the 2004 event, and vice-versa.  Maybe  should be modified to say that every newsworthy event has to be covered in the media at the same time as they actually happened.  But that's not the rule, so, until that change is made, we should apply the rule the way it is written, right?  And right now, today, Bologna is famous for, and has received international mainstream press coverage for, both separate incidents.  Accordingly, BLP1E cannot possibly apply
