Some subjects aren't a problem; very few Rambot articles get taken over by hagiographers or POV warriors.
Town articles do get taken over by local boosterism. Look at User:Concrete Cowboy's fine work enforcing the Local Point Of View on any article to do with Milton Keynes.
A fair number of school articles do end up
contravening NPOV. We should draw conclusions about the effect of including these various article types based on the current state of similar articles that we already have, and draw up whatever standards we need to make sure that we can manage the material we take on in that subject area in the future.
Hitting with a verifiability hammer is a good first move for those. But if we start cutting subject areas because they attract POV warriors, then it's time to mark everything about Israel, Palestine or Linux for removal.
