A request for all those advocating a new policy of
opt-out for some biographies:
I'm seeing no-one addressing the issue of Neutral Point Of View,
previously a core policy of Wikipedia. Could those of you advocating a
new policy please detail your understanding of how we can be sure this
won't damage neutrality?
NPOV is a matter of article content, surely? By not having an article
we simply don't cover that topic, not implicitly cover that topic
non-neutrally...
If reference to the person is necessary for a neutral coverage in
another article, we make that reference; it doesn't mean we need to
link out to a seperate biographical article.
