Due to a widespread confusion regarding the application of IAR as a policy, rather than simply an informal guideline, I propose deleting the third leg of the so-called policy trifecta.
NPOV was always the prime directive, and some tussles we came up with the word "civility"(*) to shape a good secondary. The third leg, although necessary to satisfy the requirements of standing furniture and designated "trifecta" was never quite as clear. Perhaps we should vote if there is actually a third, and if so what that should be. Drawing from a list of actual policy, of course and not just this "flimsy whimsy trumps policy history" nonsense.
