I'm just saying, the project will come off looking a whole lot better when or if ED is mentioned in enough reliable sources that we are able to write an article about it. Having an article would be one more piece of ammunition we can steal from the critics and turn to an advantage. Anyone who showed up accusing of us of suppressing our critics would have a giant shiny article we could point to where we could say "Oh yea?? well what is THAT article doing here then?"

If it's not notable, it's not notable, what can ya do? Our content policies are our content policies-- we can't bend them just to combat the false impression that we're being suppressive.

But, as good as that would look, the decision to have or not have such an article should be made completely independent from "Wikipolitical" concerns-- which is why I haven't nominated a deletion review, or indeed, even made up my mind whether a reasonable article could have been written about ED. I've never been to closely involved in deletion debates, if I started the recreation myself, it'd be guilty of "improving wikipedia to prove a point" which itself is a problem. I'm just saying-- the day when an ED article can exist here while complyign with WP:V will be one that is very very good for Wikipedia, and I'll be happy when or if that time comes, as one more sign that our strength as an encyclopedia that we can neurtally cover EVERYTHING-- even those who attack us. Writing the fairest, most objective article possible on ED would be the Wiki equivalent of turning the other cheek.
