→The Gore Effect: BLP applies to all content about a living person. |

Line 676:
:::::::::Only my opinion, of course, but if there is significant content that might relate to legitimate matters of BLP concern in a non-BLP article, I suppose it could be appropriately applied. Then there's this article, referencing a satirical concept that is, at most, incidentally referencing an LP whose only reference in the article itself is within citations placing him somewhere at sometime. This is not the stuff of BLP concern and it is a rather clear cheapening of rationale for use of the template.
:::::::::But your question really presumes resolution of this BLP/N...which is to ascertain some consensus of opinion as to whether or not this article is a '''"Biography of a Living Person"''' with attendant BLP caveats and increased sourcing requirements. Clearly it is not, though the resulting fallout from the satire may have consequence to the credibility of both Mr. Gore and the AGW cause. Life is tough out there in the CC trenches.

::::::::::Let us try it again: BLP (despite the "biography" part) applies to all content about a living person. If you want to say "X was in Y at <date> where Z happened" then its a direct statement about a living person, which must adhere to the rather more strict sourcing demands of the BLP policy. It doesn't get mooted or otherwise invalidated because its used in a humourous context. (otherwise you may want to point out where our policies state that humour has a lower requirement for [[WP:V]] than other contexts). --[[User:KimDabelsteinPetersen|Kim D.
