WP:BLP is potentially open to misuse by the supporters of controversial public figures who wish to 'cleanse' the public record of anything critical. There is a danger of a pile up at the intersection of WP:BLP and WP:NPOV.
That tends to happen when we rush out a policy to counter bad public relations.
That was not one of your better arguments. WP:BLP says: poorly sourced negative material about living individuals must be removed expeditiously. It is hard to believe we even had to write a policy to say this: of COURSE poorly sourced negative material should be aggressively removed! Forget the law of defamation, what about ordinary common decency? Can *anybody* seriously dispute that intent?
