But where is the fundamental content policy that advocates deletion of
_sourced_ articles about individuals famous for negative reasons? I'm not
saying it's wrong, but I don't see it in the fundamental content
policies.
We are saying Biographies of living persons is a fundamental content
policy. It is based more on the danger of publishing with malice than with
lack of adequate sourcing.
Can you point out where in the policy it says that? Reading it, BLP is
extremely focused on sourcing and doesn't even touch upon the idea of
completely deleting sourced articles on individuals who are negative. There
seems to be a gulf between what's written there, and what most people seem
to think it is.
