As Bala pointed out, pages have to be neutral.
Example:Look at any Politician's page, it's always Pro-them, rarely is it
balanced.
We need to have things neutral.
If these guys get to decide what goes on their page, it'll be a Conflict
of Interest.

Even a simple controversy against a person, if added,
shouldn't be removed.
This is true, but it does not mean that unproven allegations form part of
acceptable content, I think. If a person is accused, for instance, in
court, that charge may be mentioned, but not giving the impression the
charge is proven. Citations will be very important in such situations.
Since only a handful of courts in India have gone online, it may be
difficult to assert charges filed in some courts.

But they shouldn't be expecting wikipedia to do a whitewashing / PR fluff
job on it. Sometimes, if they are actually trying to remove negative
material about them (and there is a ton of it in RS) it leads to a
backlash and more gets added to the article. (

Hiya,
Me and a couple of others have been contacted by a couple of people of
stature having Wikipedia articles about themselves recently about the
articles having derogatory and inaccurate information about them. Is there
any procedure set which such people can follow to have an admin look into
their page?
Kind Regards,
