[[David Gerard]], Notable NPR Pundit Options

I see that WP's David Gerard does not have a BLP

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Gerard

Appears as a pundit on NPR, is Jimmy Wales right-hand man (oh my, is that right hand why Jimmy went all UK?).

Notable?

As tempting as that might be, I think many of us here try to discourage use of WP as an attack platform.

If a BLP = "attack platform", then they've got a problem at WP. Are you assuming Bad Faith?


For kicks, I selected at random from the Living Persons cat, a BLP

If this meets Notable, what doesn't? Mr Gerard has a very high profile one of the most important (as Jimmy just forced the world to learn!) websites, ever (breathless ever). I haven't looked at other WP Luminary BLP's yet, but I'd guess they all have one.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Ms. Aaron is about 16 or 17 times more accomplished in life than Mr. Gerard.

Don't have a bubble, greggers, and your opinion rings true, but this is WP notability we're talking about. Ms. Aaron's BLP states that she is a California Judge. A very small percentage of the list of judges on the main WP page for her cat of Cali judges aren't redlinked. Her article is a resume, and there are no media WP:RS references, and no notable cases mentioned to back up her notability.

She hasn't even been on NPR. ;-)

Why the anger, gregg? Take a WP Hate break for a year. It'll do you good.
