Does no-one want to discuss whether the ending of the
Mousetrap play
This is not an invitation to revive the whole spoiler debate, but this
situation is slightly different in that those involved in putting the
play on and the descendants of the author are speaking out against
this.
Mandy Rice-Davies applies.
Could there be a BLP-like exception for spoilers,
adding one if those
who wrote or produce the thing being spoiled request it? Obviously,
the ending or spoiler would still be discussed within the article, but
you could add a section saying "XYZ have requested that the ending not
be spoiled, so this notice serves as a spoiler notice that the article
reveals and discusses the ending" (modified as needed).
Seem courteous, but can Wikipedia be courteous?
Speaking as an arbitrator, how would you square such a thing with NPOV?
