Surely if the ending is still described in the article (as I was careful to say), NPOV wouldn't be affected? All I'm saying is that if there was a specific OTRS request that could be verified to be from the relevant people, then it could be acted on. Requests from Wikipedia editors and readers to add spoiler notices wouldn't count. It would have to be a specific request from the "subject" of the spoiler.
You've noted that "requests from Wikipedia editors and readers to add spoiler notices wouldn't count," and this only accentuates the problem. How would providing special treatment to a representative of an article's subject constitute a neutral approach?
You referred to this as a "BLP-like exception," but I see nothing analogous. We address legitimate complaints by ensuring that biographies of living persons comply with our normal content standards. We don't honor requests to include special text (such as a warning that the article includes material that its subject dislikes).
