See [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Doc glasgow#Outside view by Newyorkbrad]] for my own take on not only articles that contain false or unsourced negative information about living people, but also unnecessarily embarrassing information about non-public information that editors insist on keeping just "because we can, and Wikipedia is not censored" with no thought for the effect that we have on real people's lives.
IMHO, this is one of the two most pressing issues facing Wikipedia.
