Yes, but if it comes down to one or the other ... then what?
And let me say that I consider removing the michaelmoore.com link from [[Michael Moore]] to obviously constitute damage to the encyclopedia, and if the community comes up with a rule that makes that a good idea then the community is *wrong* and the rule needs removal. That's NPA vs NPOV, i.e. the BADSITES arbitration.
That's the basis, not of having a rule, but a diplomatic procedure. "You force our hand here, it's a lose-lose situation. Let's talk about this." And go on to explain that we can shrug off point-scoring, but we have internal ways of dealing with issues and feel that it would be bad not only for us if outside pressures played a part in those.
