[WikiEN-l] Analysis of BLP issues (Jimmy Wales should reconsider)

[David Gerard]

OK. What seems a practical first move?

Deleting all living bios is not going to fly. It just won't be accepted.

The layer of barely-notable bios could be vanquished with little
trouble. The tricky part is "what is notable?" It's not going to be
possible to come up with a hardline definition that doesn't result in
gross systemic bias, editors deleting like deranged robots or both.

Is a new deletion rule on living bios worth trying? It's the most
politically viable idea I've heard so far.
