NPOV involves determining whether viewpoints are widely held, are held
by substantial or significant minorities, or are held by an extremely
small or vastly limited minority and therefore not suitable to be
covered in articles. This is an editorial decision-making process that
all editors perform all the time. Determining which filters to work on
is entirely analogous to this process, which is inherently neutral.
