[WikiEN-l] Severely unbalanced articles, especially BLPs

[David Goodman]

It  also works the other way around. Bios can be used for irrelevant
subject discussions, but also an article on a perfectly notable
company can be devoted to long bios of minor executives who would
never be considered notable.

AfD works only in the most extreme cases. We really do need an
equivalent process for content, but I would certainly not suggest
introducing additional bureaucracy now. The solution might be to
regard introducing irrelevant content as serious
vandalism--interfering with the proper functioning of the
encyclopedia--as also would be keeping it after reasonable objection.
At present, it's removing content which is more likely to be seen as
vandalism.  DGG
