I cannot stress enough how strongly I agree with this
assessment. If
NPOV, V, and RS were followed - as they should be by normally
intelligent adults wishing to write good articles - BLP isn't even
needed at all. I support BLP existing, although I've seen it misused a
good bit - but IMO it wouldn't hurt a bit if someone IAR'd and gutted a
lot of the other policies that have grown up like weeds over the last
couple of years. More will only make matters worse.
Not quite - the important difference with BLPs is that we cannot be
eventualist (start with an awful article and let it improve with time)
- we do not have the luxury of eventualism. With BLPs, we must be
immediatist - we must not have a live version that violates the
content rules.
