However, they are not hidden from automobile engines, including the newer, more "environmentally-friendly" electric and hybrid engines. Also, please note that this subforum is meant to be used for discussion of the actual biographical articles themselves; more generalized discussions of BLP policy should be posted in the General Discussion or Bureaucracy forums.

Apparently the superintendent of a school district in the good ol' US of A leaked information about a police investigation to the person being investigated, who was their employee (or something). Bearian, who plays a lawyer on television, writes a BLP about him so that this important piece of world history gets recorded. After some discussions elsewhere it gets nominated for deletion.

This seems like a very typical and uninteresting case, but it's got Jimbo involved now (and of course the "Article Rescue Squadron" are flying in to save it). I'm making popcorn.

For the benefit of readers who are less cognizant of WP's "alphabet-soup" acronym jargon, I believe this is a reference to "Article Rescue Squadron." (I could be wrong about that, though...)

Btw, one or two WP'ers went to the trouble to look up other school superintendents (esp. in New York state) so as to determine if any others had BLP articles, so I'd just like to thank them - for example, Santa Claus of the Future (T-C-L-K-R-D) - for sparing the rest of us the trouble. (Perhaps needless to say, no other New York school superintendents are the subjects of BLP articles.)

Yes, it was. I thought I had clicked reply to Horse's post though, as mine was supposed to be a direct response to the musing's on who "Weakopedia" is a sock of.
