I suggest "potentially defaming, slanderous or libelous"

Question: What is a "false light" claim?
Answer: Some states allow people to sue for damages that arise when others place them in a false light. Information presented in a "false light" is portrayed as factual, but creates a false impression about the plaintiff (i.e., a photograph of plaintiffs in an article about sexual abuse, because it creates the impression that the depicted persons are victims of sexual abuse). False light claims are subject to the constitutional protections discussed above.
Question: What is a "fair and true report"?
Answer: A report is "fair and true" if it captures the substance, gist, or sting of the proceeding. The report need not track verbatim the underlying proceeding, but should not deviate so far as to produce a different effect on the reader.
Editors acting with malice who create articles just to fill Controversy and Criticism sections and leave everything else empty is what BLP is trying to stop.

See [[WT:BLP]]. I've been changing "negative" to "controversial", since controversy is the problem as I see it, and using the word "negative" is blatantly throwing NPOV out the window.
Controversial is definitely better than negative. Not sure there is an ideal 1 word summary, but it definitely shouldn't be dependent on whether or not it's positive or negative. Maybe doubtful, risky, dubious, unsettled, or unreliable. Today's living bio example of choice: Mark Foley.
