Its absence is not a violation provided we write biographies with tact as blp advises us to do.

If we permit opt out, we will have a situation where we have, for all medium-level people who are somewhat less than famous, favorable bios only. There is no possible way to have both NPOV content and subjects owning the articles on themselves. Whatever way we solve the difficulties with BLP, it shouldn't be turning us into an publicity platform.
Correct. Opt-out will violate NPOV.

I think opt-out more than flagged, more than semi, more than anything else would be fought to the death over by some extremists. But I don't know if it would violate NPOV. Is an absence a violation?
