Wikipedia is synonymous with NPOV and changing that would be confusing.
But-- surely there should be somewhere in the Wikimedia family for people to collaborate on works, even if they aren't working to make NPOV, notable encyclopedia articles. Editorials and opinions and reviews and fancruft and who knows what else.
Why not let people work on a Scientific POV project? Or a Judaism-POV project? Or a project without any consistent POV across articles? a 'high-quality-articles only' project? A 'child-friendly' project? Or even a project where editors could experiment with content types and writing styles we haven't yet considered.
None of these could ever be a substitute for the NPOV & Wikipedia. But who knows how many amazing projects could grow if we had a simple process for building new ones.

I have come across topics that are approached differently by different groups and thought that parallel articles might be appropriate in those cases. I'd like a wider view on the topic. Here is where I've discussed it on talk pages:
