Very much agreed. I am very against any suggestion that strongly
sourced, accurate negative information that is relevant to the
person's notability/notoriety should be removed from articles for
'sensitivity'.
I am in favor of being very tough about the 'well sourced' part,
though, and about the notability of life details. Not everything
about their private lives that has been e.g. dragged out in divorce
court is really notable.
