Which is what we don't do. I agree generally with David: this page need not, should not put us on the defensive side of biography. I also think the page should be shorter; it should not intimidate biographers by sheer volume of considerations.

The re-emphasis of NPOV within the page should do the trick. I agree the page should be very short, and directed towards editors; info on legal troubles should be on a separate legal page; advice on biographical style should be on the biography part of the style giude (but linked from here)...
