Since the English Wikipedia folks do JUST THAT, as an example. Why 
should there be categories such as
LGBT entertainers, authors, etc. There are no categories for HETERO 
authors, actors, etc. Oh, I forgot,
that's a CUTTURAL NORM on the english Wikipedia that we OPENLY DISCUSS 
sexual behavior and put
labels on people, whether they like it or not, or whatever or not is 
offends others, and then RAM IT DOWN
EVERYONE ELSE'S THROATS.

There's a great example of an open cultural norm on the English 
Wikipedia. Putting labels on people prevents you from seeing the real 
person beneath and fosters BIAS. Something we should avoid.

In essence, what I am saying here is that the OPENNESS and NPOV 
viewpoints are PART OF THE ENGLISH WIKIPEDIA CULTURE. I agree
they are erstwhile concepts and important, but they are very much 
European attitudes, and not all cultures embrace them the same way.
