Yes, I know about that, and I am REALLY hoping we won't have to do anything of
the kind, as it makes every biographical article controversial by default, not
just the ones about Michael Moore and George W. Bush. The legal and ethical
issues involved seem way too subtle for the Doom Wiki's collective dispute
resolution skills (some people think they are beyond Wikipedia's as well, of
course).
To clarify, I am not talking about borderline-Wikipedia-notable people who
might be mentioned in the trade press; those are a tiny subset of the prominent
people in the Doom community. The people in question are totally anonymous
outside of one or two hobbyist groups, e.g.
doom.wikia.com/wiki/Adam_Williamson
doom.wikia.com/wiki/Jon_Dowland
