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).
