Sorry if this is the wrong place to post- maybe you've discussed this particular case before, but someone just posted this on ANI and it was removed by Crum:-

about durova having an impact on someone's real life through her comments to the press.

User:JzG deleted the article about the guy, at least:

16:12, 1 December 2007 JzG (Talk | contribs) deleted "Timothy Hill" ‎ (This is an article on someone 2notable" only for one event (WP:BLP1E) and appears to have no purpose other than to enshrine his humiliation.)
16:12 UTC would have been before this thread was started, right? So presumably he didn't read about it here first...

Now if only JzG would apply this concept of not wanting to "enshrine people's humiliation" consistently, and not hypocritically, and maybe also not claim that Hill was "humiliated" but rather "targeted" or "persecuted," which would have the nice benefit of actually being true, then... well, he might actually start making some progress towards being something other than Wikipedia's worst administrator.
