Le gusta la chica - article use with gusta + person?

The note above says "we use the definite article with the thing/s that one likes, unless we're talking about a place or a person". But one of the examples is "Les gusta la chica alta" - isn't "the tall girl" a person? Or do you just mean a person's name?

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using gustar to say you like something (he likes, she likes, we like, you like, they like)"

Hola Vicki

the text in the lesson referring to this meant when you "refer to a specific person" (i.e. using the name) I've modified the text to reflect this.

Gracias y saludos
