someone were to write a Wikipedia article using precisely the

The worst aspect of this is that there is no way to flesh out the
woman's humanity. It is doubtful any other published information exists.

Fred,
That is exactly the point that I try to get across when we deal with people that are
notable for one small area of there life. WP:BLP trys to deal with this idea of different
levels of notability.
Angela, for example, is known for a small area of her life if we go by verifiable,
reliable sources. For that reason the information is best covered in another article.
Of course for dignity reasons, it is worse when the only thing that someone is famous for
may be one small stupid mistake.
