[WikiEN-l] Living bios - "negative" or "controversial"?

[David Gerard]

See [[WT:BLP]]. I've been changing "negative" to "controversial",
since controversy is the problem as I see it, and using the word
"negative" is blatantly throwing NPOV out the window.

Our pop culture articles are a wasteland of fan-maintained hagiography
anyway. Do we need to throw NPOV out for those? See e.g.
http://www.neilgaiman.com/journal/2006/05/what-bears-do-on-lawn.html

There's also a fair bit of Jimbomancy going on, which doesn't help.
