If didn't get this wrong, until now even interested parties are welcome, as long as they aim for NPOV -- with the notable exception of the autobiography clause.
And where does "interested party" start?
There are even topics so obscure ([[New Kadampa Tradition]] comes to my mind), that only vocal opponents and vocal proponents contribute. Should they already be considered "interested parties"? Shall we hope, that they will battle it out so that the result is NPOV?
A vocal opponent is not an interested party. An interested party is a party with, well, an interest in the matter, like a shareholder, employee etc. For Wikipedia purposes, you can pretty much consider interested party to mean the party itself.
